Learning Zbrush

I'm back!
After a nice, mostly relaxing, holiday I am just about ready to head back to school!  I'm actually quite excited to get back to the long hours and tight deadlines! We are starting back with a week or so long games jam in preparation for the Bristol Encounters Festival but more on that later.
I have just today finished the Digital Tutors quick start to Zbrush Vol 1-5 and am very happy with the result!!
first few minutes getting to grips with the interface

a weird gecko/chameleon thing I made while trying out Z painting 

First try at sculpting mountain like geometry from a primitive

Sculpting a rocky terrain

Adding a metal base

First play with ZSpheres!! such a good way of blocking out!

fleshing out the basic form

final sculpt


adding a bit of texturing

taking a look at hard surface modeling

trying out the polish brush I used in Mudbox... works much much better

all the assets in one place

wow trying to position the hose was not easy

UV unwrapping too!

posing the character! also tried out a little morph targeting for facial expressions

final look.  Grass was built in Zbrush with the hair modifier and then sculpted!
