In this DVD, David Finch reveals his step-by-step process for drawing the human body.

In this polygonal modeling DVD, Sean Mills shows you how to create a bipedal humanoid model. Sean begins with a set of primitives for different body parts – arms, legs, torso and face – and refines them into muscle masses, primary contours and silouhettes.

Archmodels vol. 150 includes 52 professional, highly detailed 3d models for architectural visualizations. This collection comes with high quality photo-realistic food products, carefully 3d-scanned and optimized by Evermotion artists.

Each model was scanned with top-end DLSR camera. All pictures were taken in the 24MP resolution in uncompressed RAW format. This way we are sure that we captured the most of texture data. We made over 100 photos of each model and then imported them to software that used this data to create a point cloud and detailed mesh of each object.

Digital Tutors – Sculpting Hard Surfaces in ZBrush 3.5 R3
English | Size: 1.18 GB
Category: Tutorial


In this series of lessons we’ll learn how to use some of the hard-surface sculpting tools in Zbrush. Zbrush has always been a great application for sculpting incredibly detailed organic shapes. But did you know that Zbrush has a number of useful tools that will help you to sculpt more hard surface shapes as well? In this course, we’ll talk about the Polish brushes, which will allow us to combine smooth curves and sharp edges in a single stroke. The strokes themselves have been enhanced with Backtrack, allowing us to get smoother, straighter lines when sculpting. We’ll also cover the Re-mesh functionality which will allow us to combine multiple shapes in Boolean-type operations. We can also take advantage of the Zbrush primitives to give us a great starting point for some of our hard surface shapes. [Read more…]
