20,000 views?

I know this is kind of silly, but I thought it was interesting. My YouTube channel hit 20,000 views the other day with 200 subscribers. It appears the most popular video is how to export polypainted textures out of Zbrush. I should post a bunch of the other videos I made at DigiPen....here's the channel:

Concept for a character I'm working on...



I finally found some time to put pencil to paper and draw this character up. It's based off a design by a friend of mine (Stephen Daniele). He had this whole world and game put together and wanted to start making the characters and environments for it. He's a mercenary type personality in an archaeologist/Indiana Jones context. Y'know how Han Solo could never figure out if he wanted to join the rebels or not? This mercenary hasn't figured out if he's going to help or steal from his employers.

Zbrush Tutorials on YouTube!

Hi All,
I've spent this past week making several youtube videos for Zbrush instruction. It's one thing to practice with zbrush and get really great technique nailed down. It's another issue to understand the logistics and setup necessary to get all that great zbrushy goodness out of zbrush and into a game texture and real time model. These videos are designed to answer all those complicated questions. If you're into zbrush, this stuff is for you! Feel free to post comments and/or suggestions.

Remember Hermey? Here's his twin sister....

A good friend of mine gave me a sketch and asked me to model a character for her. She's got this short film planned...this is very preliminary. I modeled it in Max and then brought it into Zbrush for a quick surface touch up. Once my friend buys off on it, I'll go crazy in zbrush with the surface details.
