Gnomonology Creating Normal Maps with Zbrush and Zmapper - 311 Mb

This tutorial covers an introduction to the ZBrush plugin ZMapper for use in creating normal maps for next-gen game engines.
ZMapper is an extremely versatile plugin that allows the artist to create normal and cavity maps from their high resolution ZTool sculpts. The power of ZMapper comes from the fact that all the options are open to the artist when generating maps - which also creates many options in the interface. This video breaks down the interface into simple to understand options and covers the settings you will need to successfully generate high quality normal maps in ZBrush.

Multi-Chapter Tutorial

Rendering skin with the natural appearance of translucency, specularity and reflection is achievable thanks to the Mental Ray Fast-Skin material. This tutorial demonstrates how to build the necessary shading network and manage the many attributes available. While the Fast-Skin material does have integrated control for specularity and reflections, we also look at how to implement a layered shader that allows for higher level control over these phenomenon. Using a female head as our example, we start from scratch and observe every step of the process, while explaining the logic behind our creative decisions.
