During this course you will see a whole pipeline and along the way you will understand what is required to create games characters inside Zbrush, I also show you how to get the assets straight out of ZBrush both High and Low poly models and into Substance Painter!!

In this course you will learn essential skills to turn your ZBrush sculpts into low res game ready assets, this indepth course covers three main programs and will be used as follows:

Absolutely valuable. So many new things learned. Still, steep learning curve - I needed to repeat lessons as I am a true beginner. The course is more than just a simple software course, gives a very good understanding of what to do overall. I just love it.

By Willie van der Heever on 1/12/2019

Yes, so far the workflow matches mine.

By Seb Lapthorne on 12/31/2018

I only bought this course for the baking process, and found that this was extremely helpful with sending from Zbrush to Substance. Very happy about buying this course.

By Hargitai Gábor on 8/25/2018

For me what was important and what I'm looking for a good course to understand the good topology, maps, and the texturing methotds. If you never used Substance and Marmoset before, don't be afraid David share every useful information about them too. Thank you for the detialed course!

By Frank Bradtke on 6/12/2018

For me - as a non-Englishman - it was very helpful. The pronunciation was clear and I could even understand a lot. Great teacher. I have almost all tutorials from him. Many Thanks Translated with Googletranslate

I learned a ton, and I can finally move on to my own projects in terms of gaming, what I do wish he did was to cover more topology, maybe take a picture of his and add it as a resource so beginner students could learn more this way. but beside that best course on this topic on Udemy

By Carlos Ortega on 4/9/2018

The course seemed very good to me since it clearly explains each step, especially I liked the use part of the zmodeler

By Leo Gunnar Ingolfsson on 4/4/2018

I enjoy the fact he explains everything he does, including what keys he is pressing on the keyboard. Also why he is doing the things he does.

By Basilio Gonzalez on 3/4/2018

Just a little boring

By Monica Bauer on 2/3/2018

its good to see how he fixes his own mistakes and explains how he made the mistake and how to correct them -- its easy to mess up while following and without any background on troubleshooting, listening along would be difficult
