Introduction to Zbrush r2
Showing and explaining some of the new features introduced in the new Zbrush R2 version
The series is meant to be a beginner level introduction, but i also tried to put some hints and tricks on certain features (but i am still exploring those too
). also I am currenlty recording, encoding and uploading all the videos, so stay tuned for updates. If you like to receive news regarding the site and videos update, please sign up to the newsletter (trust me, i hate newsletters, so i will never, never send mails other to communicate new videotutorials being online)
Take a look at the vids that don't require registration, and if you like those and feel you can stand hearing me talking in my horrible english, please take some time to complete the registration process, it's all absolutely free.
Last, if you have suggestions, doubts or would see some feature explained in more detail feel free to contact me
All the tutorials hosted on this site are free of charge, made from a passionate person who loves to share his (very limited) knowledge with people. I hope you will appreciate and find the videos useful, this will be the best payback for the time and the money i am investing on this project.
if, however, you would like to give a contribution for the video hosting fees and help me realize more and more stuff, for sure i will not feel offended
