nebular - Thanks very much, yeah Zbrush was a real lifesaver, I sculpted the entire landscape at the start of the short in just a few hours with it.

Gary Komar - Thanks Gary!

Eiad - Thanks for watching Eiad! We used Vray to render in Maya using a very simple lighting setup, In most cases I used one large ‘Rectangle’ Light as the sun with lots of little ones for bounce light and the blue light was given off by the skydome.

acornboy - Thanks dude!

tyrellcorp - Haha thanks man, good enough to eat! :smiley:

-Storm- - Thanks Frederik, We are really glad you like it!

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a great day so far, below I have posted some screenshots from Zbrush of the opening scene of ‘Brutus’ the animated short. [vv]38481798[/vv]

[COLOR=#AAAAAA]Brutus | Short film

The scene was initially blocked out in Maya to establish the distances and placement of the islands, these were no more than simple cubes which I exported to Zbrush. Once inside Zbrush I used Dynamesh to shape the forms and then used the DamStandard brush to cut rock/cliff shapes into the mesh and the polish brushes to create nice planes.

All the best

Gerard

l-mo - Thanks very much!

I recently started looking into Nuke and it is very daunting there is lots to take in.
Do you have any good resources you could recommend?

#191

malc2304 - It does look daunting but with good resources and some perserverance it can pay off, I pieced my knowledge together from different places and some experimentation.
I have pasted some links below that have helped me and hopefully be useful to you too.
