Adam,
will your series include Lightwave Zbrush workflows and gotchas?
Hey Julian,
Yes the series will contain LW/ZB integration. The current 3 volumes are on Zbrush basics and getting started with the program 🙂
I hope that helps:) If you have any other questions feel free to ask:)
Adam:)
I do also already have a whole series on ZBrush/LW Integration and Gotchas if that’s what you are looking for 🙂
Will this series cover workflow with all the new features such as dynamesh? (When and how to use) The books I see are to old to meld these newer tools in.
What about some MODO integrations ???
i can’t find any resource in tutorials about Zb/Modo or Modo vs ZB integration. Or how the maps between zb and modo will work…
@ Bil Carey,
I will definitely be covering Dynamesh…it’s a very cool and powerful tool:)
@ Fil:
Yes…you are correct about Modo/Zbrush integration training…it’s something that’s needed…and I’ve been thinking about it in the back of my head for over a year now…hopefully I will get to it soon 🙂
@ Adam:
Great to hear that you think about ZB/MODO vs MODO/ZB workflows.
Can’t wait, sounds great 😉
