Eat3ds second and third challenges: Head Sculpting and NextGen Small Scene are over!

With a ton of really fantastic scenes and sculpts, we couldn't be more pleased with the high standard and turnout of the challenges

 

After the outstanding response we received for our first challenge, Eat3d are proud to announce our second and third challenges. That's right, we are having 2 contests at the same time! 

Challenge #2 - Create a character head like the one created in the ZBrush 3.5 - A Comprehensive Introduction DVD

During these times of financial turmoil, where many artists are finding themselves suddenly out of work, it can be hard to access the training that is required to get your next job.

Eat3d wants to help out as much as we can so that unemployed artists can start applying for new jobs and can get back on too making great art!

As of today, we want to do our part by giving all unemployed artists a 20% discount on all Eat3d tutorials so everyone has the opportunity to learn more and become that much more employable!

 

We were working on a promotional clip for an upcoming event with Game Artisians. We thought it came out pretty cool so check it out below! :)

Product Information:
In this DVD instructor Adam Schuman walks you through the entire process of constructing a low resolution character worthy of any "next-generation" game. Follow him as he shows you his techniques in exporting the high-res model from ZBrush, reconstructing the low-res meshes, creating the UV's for all of the meshes, baking out all of the maps (3ds Max and xNormal), creating all of the textures, using real-time viewport shaders, and rendering out the final for your portfolio.

Great review by the guys at the NYC 3ds Max User Group.

I have no problem recommending this training product to anyone who wants to get familiar with Max. It’s impossible to cover every feature in Max in one product but in ‘Autodesk 3ds Max 101’ with Eric Maslowski at the helm we get a great grounding as well as a look at some of the more advanced features in this program.
