ZBrush Creature Design: Creating Dynamic Concept Imagery for Film and Games 1st Edition

It was gifted.

Sculptors working from digital clay to create models or monuments should purchase the book just to read the chapters on Digital 3-D Printing and adding color and texture with Photoshop. The book contains excellent information on Rapid Prototyping, 3-D Printers, 3-D Milling, applications for 3-D printing and milling, preparing ZBrush models for printing and milling, and exporting geometry for printing and milling applications. The project based learning approach is written for the serious intermediate ZBrush artists. Scott Spencer demonstrates his creative expertise in the book and on videos in the accompanying DVD. It is valuable to ZBrush artists who may be focusing on broad market segments in addition to those creating dynamic imagery for film and games. The book is about creative applications of ZBrush and assumes the reader has a basic knowledge of the software. The author recommends Eric Keller's book entitled Introducing ZBush, third edition, for a more foundational introduction to the tools.

I keep looking for any and all help on Zbrush since the program changes so often you end up with books that might be a bit behind, but still contain basic principles on modeling in Zbrush. So far I have found helpful information in all of the books I have bought, and Scott Spencer is one of the people out there who knows his stuff.

This is a great book for people want create awesome Alien and monster designs with Zbrush and Maya with rendering and painting in Photoshop. I'm going to buy some of his other books.

I am totally satisfied with this book. I found interesting lessons for the ZBrush.I would buy some similar books...as soon as political situation in Crimea (I still believe that it's the part of Ukraine, not Russia) will be stabilized.Best regards, Elena)

Get this book you won't regret it you will learn so much if you go along with the disc it comes with its not even funny.

This is a must have book for anyone wanting to do zbrush creature design. Scott Spencer is truly a master teacher.

This book doesn't really have anything to do with zbrush. Ive went through it front to back a few times. Its more of a general book on how creatures should look. Stuff like gesture lines etc, basic art school stuff.I was really hoping for a book that actually helps you make this stuff in zbrush.To everyone else, I would save my money and just get a digital tutors subscription.I think one of my college instructors must be friends with Scott, because we all had to order this book, and we didn't open it the whole semester. Bummer...EDIT=I must edit this to correct my review a little further, i guess its kind of vague.What I mean by this review, is that if you are a beginner or intermediate zbrush artist, this will not really help you.However, if you know your way around zbrush, this book would be great. It will tell you how to accomplish a certain look, but it will by no means tell you how to do it.It might say, "add a little more bust to add more form" but it will not tell you what tools, or how to do it.But if you have taken any college level art courses, or have any fundamentals of design knowledge, this book will not help you.As I stated earlier, this is more of a book on how to get the right gesture lines, and "pose" your creature for a glamour shot. Not an actual "how to create characters in zbrush" as the title leads you to believe.If this is your first Scott Spencer book, I would highly recommend the 2nd edition of character creation first. I found it easier for a beginner to grasp

Great for all levels

This was a delightful book. It covers the strategies behind choosing what is important in creature design for imagery and Film which was very very interesting and educational. it was a transfer of very valuable knowledge that would otherwise take years of practice in the industry to acquire.
