Welcome to Issue 37! This month, on the back of our Beginner’s Guide to ZBrush tutorial series, we’ve gone ZBrush crazy! Not only are we kicking off one brand new 9-part ZBrush tutorial series for you this month, but we are also introducing a new series where we’ll feature 2 artists every month ‘speed sculpting’ from a brief set by 3DCreative, and we’ll show their tutorials covering the stages of creation – some even with accompanying movies, courtesy of the artists! But before I get carried away with that, let me first tell you a little about the new ZBrush tutorial series – “ZBrush Character Creation”. This is a fantastic series which is being created by the most amazing ZBrush Sculptor, Rafael Ghencev. You only have to take a look at his website to see the incredible talents of this artist, and we’re lucky enough to have him working with us over the next 9 months on a great tutorial series where each month he will take a generic, clean head mesh and transform it into one of our detailed character themes – this month we feature an old/gaunt man. Future topics will get progressively more complex and bizarre, as we move on to an obese man next month, and the tutorial series will end with a Frankenstein character. And not only is he sculpting these characters, he’s also texturing them! We’re all really excited about this series here at 3DCreative and we’re eagerly waiting to see Rafael’s next instalment, so stay tuned for the next few months as we get stuck into more and more detailed ZBrush sculpting, but for the first chapter check out page 67. Our other new ZBrush series is set to be ongoing, so we’ll keep bringing them for as long as we can, and as long as you love them, and this month we feature the talents of Alex Oliver and Jesse Sandifer, each interpreting the brief “Pirates – Past & Future”. Alex Oliver has even generously provided real-time video footage of the creation process that accompanies his tutorial in not one, but 17 downloadable movies (yes, 17!). Jesse Sandifer has also provided 3 great tutorial movies showing his working process, too, and – as usual when you ask 2 artists to interpret a brief – the results are fantastically different, and I’m sure you’ll be impressed, so check out page 55 for those. We’re even providing the same base mesh that we gave to Alex and Jesse with the tutorial for free in this issue, so download the mesh and get sculpting!
We have two interviews this month with Alan Camara, who specialises in realistic and stylised 3D characters (page 7), and Eduardo Martín who is currently working on the feature film “Planet 51” at Ilion Animation Studios (page 17). We also feature a rather different interview this month in our Studio Interview with Q-Spheres – a studio that finds and photographs locations as HDR-environments! You tell them what you want, they go find and shoot it! Genius!! See page 27 for that one!
Our Making Of articles this month feature a Wolverine Tribute from Nicolas Collings (page 101), and a scene made by Esam Darweesh which was created as a response to past memories (page 107). Oh and don’t forget we’re on Part 2 of our main tutorial series kicked off by Richard Tilbury last month; note that in the November issue we’ll introduce the usual 5 software series parts of this tutorial, so it’s going to get BIG real soon! Hope you enjoy the latest issue from the 3DCreative team! Cheers,

Welcome to Issue 38! This month we welcome Olivier Ponsonnet to 3DCreative, which I’ve personally been really excited about since I very first heard back from him in reply to my interview proposal! You’ll no doubt already have seen the fantastically realistic 3D works that make up the stunning portfolio of this artist – many of which grace 3DCreative pages 007 – 014, and we find out how after 12 years working in the field of CG, Ponsonnet’s works have developed from an interest in cars and futuristic cities, to the beautifully rich character images that we find today. Our second interview this month is with Sanjay Chand, who some of the 3DCreative team had the pleasure of meeting at Siggraph 2008! Chand is currently working as a Lighting Artist, and from his portfolio – featured on pages 017 – 023 of 3DCreative – we discover his superb creature design and rendering skills in the stunning examples of alien creations; creatures that appear to have come from the darkest of nightmares and are evidence of the fantastic classes taught by Alex Alvarez at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects. We also have a great little Studio Interview with 3d-io Games & Video Production, on page 025; we chat to CEO and Art Director, Igor Posavec whose company focuses on 2D and 3D digital design for games and entertainment. And we love the guys at Unexpected so much that we’ve asked them back again for this issue, with a great article on the making of once of their recent ads for Honda: L.O.V.E (page 041).
As far as tutorials go, we have Part 3 of our big tutorial series on creating a complete scene, specialising in aged and weathered texturing, which this month focuses on preparing the textures – next month we’ll take an in-depth look at mapping! Our second instalment of the Speed Sculpting series welcomes back Jesse Sandifer who has this month tackled the brief alongside Brazilian ZBrush sculptor, Dalton Alves Muniz. Both artists have interpreted the brief differently; Muniz has gone for a female fish-like creature whilst Sandifer has created a frog-like being – both in response to this month’s topic, “Amphibious Man/Woman” (page 067). Rafael Ghencev is also back in this issue with his second part of our wonderful ZBrush Character Creation series, this month creating an obese Asian man and teaching us the sculpting and texturing techniques along the way (page 081). He’s also kindly provided us with movies to accompany the tutorial this month, for those who requested that they’d like to see the WIP in video format! So don’t say we never listen to you guys *winks*!
Our Making Ofs this month include work from Paulius Biesevicius, who talks us through the creation of his Peugeot concept car (page 093), and Rodrigo Banzato discusses the making of his cartoon image, “Drinks Girl” (page 101). You can also find a chapter from the new Digital Art Masters: Volume 3 book by Damien Canderle, who details the making of him alien creature called “Gnom” (page 108).
Well, I hope we’ve provided plenty to keep you out of trouble till next month’s offerings! Thanks for all your support and enjoy this month’s issue. Cheers! Ed.
