“Since ZBrush was released, it has brought out a wealth of creativity and varying styles from all over the world. Contained in these pages is an insight into the thought processes of some of these artists and some of the best ZBrush imaginings out there.”
Andrew Baker
Senior Designer at Weta Workshop Design Studio

“ZBrush is one of the very few art packages that truly allow the same sort of creative expression you see in traditional sketching to be translated to the world of 3D. In these pages you will learn the techniques and practices demonstrated by professional 3D artists and the creative mindset they harness when sculpting from the imagination in ZBrush.”
Jonathan Fletcher
Principal Character Artist

“Sculpting from the Imagination: ZBrush has a refreshingly unique approach to understanding the artistic process. It’s hard to find another book that explores the thought process of an artist while sculpting like this book does.”

Awesome!

It is a good book where you can find tips to sculpt and have a better concept of how to present your work. It's also useful if you're looking for organic and creature modeling inspiration.

Book of inspiration

Sculpting from the imagination gives insight in the tool of choise of the different artists and is great to look through, even for beginner zBrush users. It gives ideas of what brushes to use, when trying to sculpt models in either simple soft bases, incredible detailed or hard-surfaces. The pictures of the sculptures in the book also gives great inspiration and ideas to create your own sculpts. Also not text heavy to go through

Inspirational book!

I was expecting more step-by-step things or maybe a tutorial format, but this book is more a showcase of excellent sculpts, with explanations from the artists about their workflow, process, sketching, experience, how they became the artist they are today... Very nice book to flip through and get inspiration from, but not much in the way of specific tips and tricks. The book is printed on very nice paper and has a great feel and weight to it. Definitely worth buying.
