We’ve been a big fan of Benjamin Erdt‘s ever since we first came across his work in the CG Student Awards 2013. We just had to get him involved with 3D Artist, so we had him create the fearsome Leviathan you see gracing the cover. Within the pages of the mag he reveals his tips and tricks for working on creatures on such an enormous scale.
3D Artist arch-vis expert Sérgio Merêces also produced a stunning render for issue 66, working on the exclusive image Gardenian House. It’s an incredibly atmospheric piece, showcasing just how talented Sérgio truly is. Inside the mag he reveals the workflow and processes that helped him to put together such a stunning image.
We hope there aren’t too many 3D arachnophobes out there, as Nicolas Delille gets up close and personal with a tarantula in issue 66, sculpting it with ZBrush and then rendering the hair and fur with CINEMA 4D. Follow the tutorial to discover just how he puts these tools to use.
We also got in touch with some of the top ZBrush artists working in the digital sculpting field this issue. In our 50 ZBrush Secrets Revealed feature we speak to the likes of Jason Martin, Tian Cocker, Bryan Wynia, Zhelong Xu, Alexander Filiuk and many more about their tips and tricks for sculpting out success.
