Book Reviews of Introducing ZBrush
Book Review: A good book to have
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a great reference book even for someone that is familiar to Z brush. There are so many features in the program that his book goes into detail describing. The step by step tutorials will help you get started with Z brush. It also touches on the 2D capabilities of the program, something that is often over looked.Book Review: Beyond the introduction
Summary: 4 Stars
If you want to understand what pixols mean, this is "the" book. Follow along the exercises and there you are: Two and a half D is not that complicated...Book Review: Pretty good instruction, it lacks in many areas.
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall this book was helpful. I was not too enthusiastic about the delivery. I tried to do the tutorial and found it to be quite tedious; mainly because finding menus and other things on the new interface made it difficult.
Issues:
- First off the user interface for ZBrush has changed enough to make you have to look around for the appropriate menu or keys.
- Tutorial is difficult to follow.
- Movies on the disc are not as good as you can find out on the web for free.
It is not a terrible book it just needs to have an accompanying website that is updated that you can access if you purchase the book.
Summary:
This is not a HORRIBLE book, it just is showing its age. This is not entirely the authors/publishers fault. It might be because ZBrush has moved on and this static snapshot in time has not. If you can find it in a bargain bin somewhere grab it. It would make an OK backup source for your library.
Book Review: Not bad, but dated
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good book if your trying to get into Zbrush. The only problem i have with it. is its a bit dated now. The UI has changed much with the coming of 3.5 R3. The macros presented in the book no longer work. apparently Pixologic has changed a few things in the scripting system. But overall the lessons can be followed along. I hope this book gets an updated zbrush 4 version.Book Review: no sound on DVD movies tutorials
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book yesterday and found it somewhat useful, but the books does not tell you how to get to the menus, it just tells you to open the tools, but does not tell you where to click to find them. Also the DVD that came with this books has movie tutorial on some chapters that do not have sound and the movie goes really fast. They are useless.
