This week The Gnomon Workshop adds to its library of professional production technique dvds with a new title by instructor Ryan Kingslien. Introduction to ZBrush 3 with Ryan Kingslien follows the same production artist training course Ryan developed while Product Manager at Pixologic for companies such as ILM, EA and Ubisoft.

Focusing on the beginning digital sculptor, Ryan walks us through the different options and controls in the interface while explaining how each feature fits together within a digital sculpting and texture painting workflow. With 33 chapters, each feature is discussed in short 10 to 20 minute segements to give the learner easy access to all that ZBrush has to offer.

Everything the beginning student needs to learn is covered here from ZBrushs advanced brush-based sculpting system to MatCap materials. Special attention is paid to getting started in ZBrush as fast as possible.
