For the 5th time, I will be at Japan Expo this year, on the Pixologic booth to do live presentation of ZBrush. Japan Expo is a real large event with 180 000 visitors expected this year!
For this new edition, Pixologic decided with our partners Wacom and Sculpteo to do everything big! We are sharing the same booth to do a full presentation from 2D to “real” 3D: Create a concept in 2D on a Wacom pentablet, Sculpt it in ZBrush in 3D and then… print it directly with the help of Sculpteo! Yes, we will have a ZCorp Z650 3D color printer on our booth!
Then come and say hello at our booth, ask for help on ZBrush and if you want to demonstrate your skills, feel free to do it, even in live in front of everybody!
If you want to visit us, the tradeshow will be from July 1st to July 4th in Villepinte, in the north of Paris. We are in the booth BH 38 and if you are looking at me, ask from Thomas from Pixologic on the booth, we are three Thomas!
This is a close up of the 3D printing. It’s a small one, then some details are missing. We should have the same but in 30cms height, which will be a lot better

This is a sculpt I did during the FormaCD event in Paris this Saturday. This event has been dedicated to the 3D illusion, with a drawing presentation, then Maya modeling, ZBrush sculpting and at the end, some Blender presentation.
It’s a speed sculpting, then sorry for the quality!

Liu Lin is almost done and will be soon ready to be printed (well, I hope! I still have to work on small details, refine the pose and add some more accessories and decoration. But the main part will be the split of the model for the 3D Printing optimization.
For these steps, I will continue using ZBrush, but with the help of modo and GoZ. I hope to produce a tutorial about how preparing the model, it can be helpful if you want to print your models yourself!

I also did a speed sculpting of Kenshiro at the Japan Expo, because of a Hokuto no Ken contest on our booth! Far to be perfect, but it has been done in less than two hours (the side view is crappy..)

I didn’t have a lot of time to do some sculpting these last days, too much work and not enough free time (except for my family). I hope to be able to post more sculpting this week because of the Japan Expo.
Based on a simple sphere. It could be better
