What Are People Saying?

Thomas Roussel of Pixologic and PolySculpt.com said -

"Leigh also show an interesting way to build the foot of the Orc. I never thought of that way to do so as I always thought of a classical hierarchy, but now, it’s no more a restriction because of ZSketch. Good to remember for my own work.... In the same direction, Leigh refine it’s ZSphere skeleton to fit it to the added skull/head, and then, added the support for the ears. This is something that a lot of users have to know! Thanks Leigh!

To conclude, this presentation was interesting for all the new comers to ZBrush 3.5 as it shown at this stage (1st webinar), a good way to build from scratch a model and generating an accurate shape before moving the the detail stage. Leigh did a good sculpt in less than 1h50, which is a good timing for a full body and show some nice tricks. Everybody had something to learn and I was happy to watch it and I’m waiting for the two others webinar."
