Learn How to Sculpt & Model a Hardsurface Character using Zbrush…
Hard Surface Character Creation in Zbrush
Instructor Info
Pierre Rogers is a freelance artist with years of experience in hard surface character design. When he is not in a 3d program creating unique and amazing hard surface artwork, he is having fun making money hand painting bag toss boards. As a young child, he wanted to be a chef, but then got into video games and adopted his cousins’ interests in comics and drawing. Most of his 3D/CG work has been featured in courses, lesson articles and reviews he had made for 3D Creative Magazine, 3D Artist Magazine, CGTuts+, Digital Tutors and Pluralsight. The advice he gives artists that are just starting out and want to make it in the 3d industry is to continue to learn and challenge yourself. He believes in hardcore studying of the art fundamentals, but also understands the importance of taking breaks, watching a movie, hanging with friends because he believes that art imitates life and so one must do some ‘living’ between art projects for the sake of one’s art. A very interesting fact about Pierre is he still has his pet turtle from 7th grade so the turtle is over 22 years old now!
