Sculpting CG Creatures in ZBrush: Cthulhu
Learn the advanced techniques in sculpting a complex 3d monster bust using ZBrush
Description
In this course we jump into the worlds of ZBrush dynamesh sculpting and H.P. Lovecraft at the same time! We tackle the Old God, Cthulhu, by starting with a simple dynamesh sphere and using several techniques, we pull and push and sculpt a basic shape for Cthulhu's head and make a quick torso and temporary tentacles. We then expand our repertoire in creating more detail sculpting by using a variety of brushes, alphas, layers and some finesse to get a final fantastic sculpt of one of Lovecraft's faves: Cthulhu!
