	Beach Volleyball character Maya - modeling (polw poly mesh), procedural textures Zbrush - modeling (high poly detail), hand painted textures Photoshop - hand painted textures This beach volleyball character was created for my thesis project at the Academy of Art University. It started as a 900 poly mesh in Maya and eventually became a 250,000+ poly mesh after it was detailed and subdivided in Zbrush. Zbrush was used to paint in 3d to help solve the problem of painting over seams and to get some good detail with the hair. [click to see a larger image ]
	Wrinkly Dog Maya - base mesh modeling and procedural shaders Zbrush - mesh detail, displacement maps, hand painted textures Photoshop - hand painted texures This dog was initially created to do a displacement test using Maya and Zbrush. After creating a low poly mesh in Maya (~180 polys) I used Zbrush to detail the dog and paint textures. The displacement map was then exported and used as a bump map for a high poly mesh.

	Anatomy Study This render is an anatomy study using Maya and Zbrush. I've found that sculpting in Zbrush allows you almost as much control as actually sculpting clay. And the best part about it is that the clay never dries out. [click to see larger front and back images ]
