Designers, illustrators, animators, and anyone wanting to start using ZBrush to design and model their characters.

Requirements and materials

Basic knowledge of 3D is necessary for this course and, although Zigor explains everything you need to know about ZBrush, you should have a decent working knowledge of Cinema 4D.

For materials, you need a computer installed with ZBrush, Cinema 4D, and an image editing program such as Photoshop. Also, you will need a render engine; Zigor will use Octane, but you can use the one you like best.
