We have had two weeks of now in the Holiday Breaks, so it's time to finish up my week 4 homework in the ZBrush Sculpting Digital Characters course/workshop I'm taking over at CGSociety.org. Here is a link to the course details.
This is a 8 weeks course in creating digital characters in ZBrush. We also look into anatomy and the philosophy and ethics of the production world.
Our instructor is Cesar Decol Jr. He is a Modeling Supervisor and TD. Cesar Dacol Jr. has worked on films such as Journey 3-D, 300, Barnyard, The Wild and Fantastic Four.
Week 4 was about refining our character and do some retopology with the fantastic topology tool in ZBrush 3.1. If you haven't checked it out, do it now! It's just super nice!
We have created our characters from ZSpheres, so I had to do some cleaning up in my topology.
In the next week we will start with the fine details on our character. The weeks until week 5, we have focused on the foundations. Bones & muscles.
After the course is finished, I will add some accessories and cloths to him. The reason I'm not adding it now, is because we focus a lot on the anatomy and foundation.
Looking forward to texturing and pose him... will post some updates... so stay tuned :)

ZBrush Sculpting Digital Characters Week 4 - CGWorkshops
Thursday, January 3, 2008
Get ready for a new year!
It's time for 2008... and I'm starting my own blog. Probably going to blog about digital sculpting, animation, design and more..
I got some pretty nice presents for christmas. More than I thought I would get. Probably the best present was the male anatomy figure:version 2 that I got from my girlfriend. It was much taler then I thought, it's just super nice. Love her!
I also got "The digital maquette, volume two" from The Gnomon Workshop.
And I got an Ipod Touch, 16gb from my job. How nice is that?
But you really feel after you got a child, that you are not the center of attention when it comes to presents.. My little 4 months old girl got like 100 times more presents then me.. so this is how its like to be a grown up.
So, happy new year! See you soon...
