Some new ZBrush doodling. I’m trying to find some time to sculpt more and more. I tried to do some hard edges. I need to find a better workflow and not always using the Pinch brush of ZBrush. Pinch should be only for the finishing to make the hard edges more hard, and not using this brush to build them. A good trick is to use the masks to build the shape, but it’s not always easy.
I will be offline for a week starting tomorrow because I will be in vacation with my wife and my two kids. No internet (well, the iPhone will be with me 
), just my laptop to do some sculpting times to times.
Then it means no blog updates!
I won’t write a lot of personal posts in this blog as it is mainly targeted to 3D and graphic stuff, but as you may heard, Michael Jackson just die. Things like that happen and it was not really a surprise as he always had a weird health (Oxygen box, estethical surgery, oups, was he Black? etc…), but it’s a part of my memories when I was a kid which is now gone, like when Freddy Mercury died too.
Well, why this post? Simply because my first animation I did a long (long long) time ago was a moonwalk, thinking of, as you can guess, Michael Jackson. When I did it, I just worked with a simple IK, no bones as Electric Images wasn’t supporting them if I remember. I will try to find this video and add it to this post soon (tonight I guess).
Well, good by Michael, your music is still here!
Twitter, Twitter, Twitter… this is ‘something’ that I heard a long time ago (well, not so long when we speak of web or computer…), but I never had the opportunity to take a look at this website…. which is more than a website.
Note: you can use twitter with some dedicated softwares too.
I won’t explain what is Twitter here, it’s easy to find on the web what it is, and the Twitter website itself will do the job. But I invite everybody to check this wonderful resource to find very useful information. I use it mainly to have valuable ‘things’ to see coming to me directly, like training videos, English training, articles related to 3D or web design or marketing, and more. Depending on who you will follow, you will see that Twitter is a very valuable tool!
Two articles to read: “Twitter is No Longer an Option. Why You Should be Tweeting” and “The Ultimate Guide for Everything Twitter“.
My twitter and the Pixologic Twitter…

Starting today, I will traveling a little bit in France:
From tomorrow afternoon the friday night, I will be in Annecy, near Genève, for the MIFA, an international animated move market, for business purposes. This is a small tradeshow, but a great one for business opportunities and contacts. Then I will meet several companies, studios, resellers for Pixologic. I will be also times to times on the booth of my friends of Wacom!
The week after, I will be Wednesday and Thursday in Paris for the modo 401 presentation, organized by my friend (and old co worker) Chrystèle from Luxology, to discover modo and all its new features, presented by the famous Andy Brown. I will have also several appointment for business and one with one of the most famous video game studio in Paris (yeaaah . I love my job! :p
Then a lot of things to talk about when I will be back from all these nice events!
I know it’s an old video, but I just rewatched it today and it’s a must seen one for all of those who are using Max, Maya or XSI
