Hi everyone,
Posted June 16, 2007 - 04:28amThis instructional video is absolutley awesome!!!!!. This is a must have for any person interested in character modeling,sculpting or anatomy in general.
Seeing and listening to Zack's methods really provides the insight needed to understand the way to convey form and gesture to any sculpt, be it human or creature. Zack has a great understanding of anatomy and allows viewers an insight into one of todays modern sculpting masters. The explanation as to the "how and why" are thourougly conveyed in an easy to digest way, which allows the massive hurdle of anatomy sculpting seem a little less daunting.
I have watched both chapters and if you have watched his Sculpting Human Anatomy DVD you will not be dissapointed. 10/10
I agree Zack is da man!! I mean I have yet to see many digital sculptors with his skills.
