Site was updated!

Hey guys! Sabrina did me a solid and helped me redesign my webpage. It’s now looking saucy and prepared for all the content I normally would put here. Don’t fret. You can still RSS subscrib, it’s just not a normal blog feed. But check it out! I’m super stoked to start updating with tutorials more regularly.

As this new page is wayyyy cooler, I’m likely not going to be updating this page anymore. Soon it will bounce you to the new page. So update your bookmarks and don’t hate me for progress!

This is the first 10 minutes or so of the 2 hours of my last web class test run. Just a basic run down of where my process goes. I edited out some technical difficulties so there are a few small gaps, but yeah. Here you go.

Online course dry run!

Tonight! 5 pm PST. Be there or…be…not there. Right? Gonna do basically my intro to zbrush and treat it less like a Q&A more like the initial class and see how the functionality for gotomeeting works for it in that context. This is not going to be an intensive breakdown of my workflow, more of a basic rundown of the little fiddly bits of getting into zbrush. I’d totally dig on you folks sitting in and giving me some feedback on it. And hey, it’s free. How is that bad? Email info@futurepoly.com saying you are into it and we will sort you out with the details.

Online coursery.

Oh hey guys! I realize I am not posting videos as frequently as I used to. It turns out its a lot of time investment. However! Last weekend we did a test run of what an online course might be like. It’s happening. I’ll be teaching Zbrush through futurepoly online as well as the normal in classroom bits I’ve already been doing. If anyone is interested in that prospect, get at me. I know one or two of you have expressed some interest over the last year or two.

It’s my intention to follow through on this one. Gonna try and record/complete an entire model. This means there will be a substantial length increase on the videos…I’ll likely have to mark the interesting ones.
