All the feedback we have received is a testament to the unrivalled easy-to-follow practical tutorials we create for Zbrushers
“ Fabulous tutorials - very well written! Thank you for sharing your talents! ”
“ Great step-by-step, I thought it was put together well and concise. My confidence is growing using zbrush. I will definitely keep the Extended Tutorial PDF handy for my next project. ”

“ In less than 2 hours, my meshes started coming to life, thanks to the magic of Zbrush, and your tutorials. My tablet has become just an extension to my mind… ”
The tutorials have been created for you to learn Zbrush from the ground up. Starting with interface fundamentals through to advanced Zbrush techniques. Many areas are covered, from finding your way round the interface basics to 3D modeling from scratch and texturing or sculpting with a graphics tablet.

Zbrush 3D Modelling, Sculpting and Texturing (36 pages)
This tutorial booklet teaches you how to model, sculpt, texture and paint in Zbrush3 and Zbrush2.
This 36-page tutorial takes you step-by-step through :
• Building a Smooth Mesh out of Zspheres
• Saving your 3D Model and Sculpting your mesh with a Graphics Tablet
• Making custom Alphas and using Projection Master
• Using the perspective camera view in Zbrush
This Zbrush 3D tutorial takes you step-by-step from opening Zbrush, through the basics of creating a 3D mesh, sculpting fine details (optionally with a graphics tablet) and painting coloured texture directly onto the surface of the 3D model at high resolution. You learn the fundamental aspects of Projection Master texturing and sculpting in Zbrush.
Start with a blank workspace in Zbrush, then step-by-step create a 3D model from Zspheres. Turn your Zsphere model into an Adaptive Skin Polygon Subdivision mesh. Sculpt into and out of the surface, refine highly detailed areas with projection master. You then texture by literally painting onto the surface of your model in three dimensions.
“ Very nicely done. I would expect Pixologic will be asking to incorporate this into the next manual and adding it to the Classroom page. ”
This useful, fundamental Zbrush tutorial takes you through your first encounter with Zbrush. You will learn how to modify and optimize the interface and menu panels for a quicker workflow.
This quick Zbrush 3D tutorial shows you how to create a simple 3D object in Zbrush, and then how to navigate around the 3D workspace. Covers Panning, Zooming and Rotating using either a mouse or a graphics tablet.
This quick Zbrush tutorial shows you how to easily smooth out those jagged edges on your 3D model rendering in Zbrush using anti-aliasing.
This tutorial takes you through the steps of exporting your Ztool out of Zbrush as an .OBJ file. Next you learn the steps involved in exporting a highly detailed Bump map and Medium resolution Displacement map and shown how to import all into 3dsmax8 (however, the principle is the same for Maya, XSi, C4D and Lightwave), including a brief visit to Photoshop.
