ZBrush Hard Surface Techniques 2
In this DVD, Instructor Mike Jensen is back by popular demand to demonstrate even more hard surface techniques using ZBrush 4 R2. Mike starts off giving an overview of all the techniques and basics that will be covered in the creation of a full armor set. He then starts concepting the character armor and then building out the main shapes for the final. Mike then begins to detail the final armor and brings it all to portfolio quality sculpt. Finally he talks a little about how to pose your model and bring it into 3d Studio Max to render with VRay and then compositing the final in Photoshop.
This DVD is perfect for those who want to learn how to create hard surface character armor inside ZBrush 4 R2.

Looks promising. Any recommendations which tutorial(s) to see if I would like to transfer the outcome of this tutorial to a low polygon version?

This is an awesome training DVD! Certainly one of the best out there. I am most grateful to Mike Jensen for sharing his extensive experience and knowledge.
However, Mike Jensen says "go ahead", "can go ahead", "I'm gonna go ahead" waaaaay too MUCH! It is obviously some sort of verbal 'tick'? It becomes annoying and very distracting to keep hearing him say the same thing over and over again! Just need to extend that vocabulary a little Mike!

The "Posing the Character" section starts off with the character already posed... not a lot of help on that front.

Good tutorial but at times it just lacks the indepth explanation and you hang often times at the unneccessary details. Next time, talk at a good pace (not too fast and not too slow) and be to the point clearly. like Ryan Kingslien.

this is great ... however i think you have put the microfone too close to the keyboard.. after listening to a few lessons i got a headache from all that thumping in the background

Overall it was pretty neat. What i would have liked to see would be the process of the posing. Not just "I've gone ahead and posed the character"...

I'm not a fan of zBrush. It just doesn't feel like a 3d program - like 3ds max - it feels awkward.

Overall a great piece, with neat techniques and great results.
From my point of view, I'm badly missing a more detailled explanation about the posing process. That's a crucial phase when elaborating character presentation and I'm a bit frustrated about it.
Rest of Dvd is at Mike's usual quality level, ie top row

Great techniques in the new DVD. Much faster work flow that the heavy mech. I am curious why the project files did not start with the base mesh to follow along with the concepting. Instead it came with the finished concept mesh. I would have like to take a more hands on approach to the concepting tutorial. Other than that it was well worth the purchase and look forward to other DVDs Mike produces.

Ok mike, i really like you series on hard surface, i love all the techniques and ideas that you show here. But frankly, you should move on from the starcraft 2 genre models. But overall, an awesome series would love to see some other concepts. cheers!

This look interesting.
Could you tell what kind of hardware has been used for modeling/sculpting?
Thanks!
