About the Workshop:
In this special two-day virtual workshop, award-winning sculptor and toy designer Tony Cipriano will demonstrate his professional approach to sculpting a gorilla in ZBrush.
Tony will begin with the primary shapes and proportions before developing the anatomy, pose, head, expression and defining characteristics of the animal. Along the way, he will explain the ZBrush tools and sculpting decisions he uses to turn a simple digital form into a convincing character.
Rather than simply showing you the finished result, Tony will work live and explain his process in real time. You will see how an experienced professional evaluates proportions, strengthens a silhouette, corrects forms and gradually adds detail without losing the larger structure of the sculpture.
The lessons and principles demonstrated throughout the event can also be applied to your own animal sculptures, original creatures, characters, collectibles and 3D-printing projects.
Tony Provides the Files You Need to Get Started
You will not need to begin with an empty ZBrush canvas. Tony will provide the workshop files needed to follow along with his demonstrations, including starting meshes that will help you get sculpting faster.
These files are designed to remove unnecessary setup time so you can focus on the most important parts of the workshop: developing the anatomy, forms, proportions, expression and character of the gorilla.
You can use Tony’s supplied files to sculpt along during the live event or work through the project later using your lifetime replay access.
