Kenneth Scott on ZBrush

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

It's Kenneth Scott, art director at id software and one of my favourite game industry artists, and he has an interview up as part of a Pixologic promo...quote:Recently Kenneth Scott had the chance to talk about ZBrush and the fascinating world of gaming. Kenneth is an art director at Id Software and one of the extremely talented artists behind Doom 3. In this interview, Kenneth shares his joy of ZBrush as an artist's tool and how to integrate ZBrush into a next-generation games pipeline.

Anyway, his work rocks and you should definately [url="http://pixologic.com/zbrush/interviews/scott_interview.html"]check the interview out[/url]. There's some extraordinary (and very detailed) creatures and models there that aren't definately from Doom3. Maybe from the new IP they're working, perhaps.

If I could just add to that - Kenneth was working on stuff like that way back in 2001-2002 (check the dates on the pics) imagine what hes up to at the moment [;)]

Actually, unless I'm mistaken some of that stuff is from the Doom 3 expansion, Ressurection of Evil. I've never acually played it but I'm sure I saw some screenshots or concept art with similar designs.

Its some damn pretty stuff to be sure, though. I've really got to give Zbrush a whirl one of these days.

Just downloaded zBrush yesterday finally after a friend recommended I give it a look. Currently making my way through tuts and 3dbuzz vtms about it all. Really interesting stuff. Need some local classes on it @:-)

Wasn't most of the Ressurection of Evil stuff done by Nerve Software? I haven't seen those creatures in ROE, although I admit to not seeing or reading much about ROE. Kinda lost interest in the expansion pack after the gameplay let-down of Doom 3.

And yeh [:0] If those are from 2002, it boggles the mind to wonder what he's at now. I'm sure he has a tonne of tricks up his sleeves.
