Course Overview
Learn the complete pipeline - from start to presentation - creating an Orc bust using ZBrush, 3ds Max, and Photoshop!
Stephen Wells covers his process of sculpting, poly painting, and baking normal maps step-by-step for this Next-Gen Orc Head model. You will learn about various tools and workflow aspects of ZBrush and work your way through the sculpting process and become more familiar with the ZBrush interface and the use of its more powerful features. We'll start with the very basic level of the orc head, then get it ready for sculpting in ZBrush, and really lay down the details as we flesh the character head out. You'll learn a very thorough pipeline for creating a great looking asset!

So far what I like about the course, is that the teacher is not overwhelming the student with the entire scope of Zbrush tools. So far basically sticking to the tools that will be used for the project. I also like the idea that the demonstrations are done on the model that the student will be working with. Makes it easy to follow and gives insight into the expected results.

Didn't have any issues following along, and while there was no info regarding creating the base mesh or how to UV map it initially(Both non-issues for me), the coarse overall was great. Learned quite a bit.
