Sculpting CG Creatures in ZBrush: Tsathoggua
Learn the advanced techniques in sculpting a complex 3d monster bust using ZBrush
Watch Promo
For this course, we explore Dynamesh sculpting in ZBrush and we're continuing our cosmic entity series by working on Tsathoggua, one of the Old Gods and rival of Cthulhu. We'll be delving into dyamesh by first adding basic foundational shapes, and then expanding on those foundations to further create the warty details that best fit this frog-like creature. We'll then use a combination of alphas, layers and several different brushes to achieve all the final details that make up the swampish visage that is none other than Tsathoggua!
