Artists Profiles
 Glen Southern - has made quite a name for himself in 3D, 2D, Painting, Design and Illustration.
You would be hard to find a professional CGI site that does not have Glen's work
on it somewhere. He has been a freelance CGI artist for 8 years working with
LightWave 3D, ZBrush, Silo and other 2D/3D applications.
Glen has worked closely with Pixologic for five years now and has been involved as a beta tester on all major versions. When Pixologic looks for amazing art work to promote news or new software releases often they contact Glen Southern. You will also find him very interactive with the 3D community on various forums and providing free training from his site and many others.
Glen works and lives in Staffordshire in the UK and spends most of his time modeling in 3D or Sculpting with Super Sculpey. You can frequently find him online and very willing to help others.
What Others Are Saying:
"This DVD takes you through the whole process, from setting up the
environment, demonstrating the 2D and 3D tools and techniques, and
shows you how Glen goes about making his jaw dropping creations -
getting you into good habits from the start.
It's a pleasure watching someone with this much talent at work, and to hear what the pro's are thinking and how they go about doing things is just as valuable as seeing how a specific tool works. It has definitely motivated me to improve my own skills.
Awesome stuff.. Thanks Glen" - Chris Trott

"After you watch this DVD, you will have very powerful new modeling skills. Zbrush works different than other 3d modelers, so study the videos provided here by an obvious expert at zbrush. Over 8 hrs of all the ins-and-outs this program offers. Those who use it, and use it well, make the best models out there period. Other modeling experience does help a lot with this though, but it may even be good if you are looking for a primary modeler to learn.
On this DVD you will be shown how 4 different fantasy creatures are made in zbrush, and before that you will learn all the tools + interface. The main tutorial also shows how to paint materials+ textures in zbrush, which is similar to deep paint or whatever. All in all this DVD is of the highest quality instructions and it has helped make zbrush my new favorite program to use. thank you glen, you are a fantastic sculptor. If this DVD does not motivate you, then nothing will." - Eric Turchin

"Glen Southern teaches Zbrush like no other. This powerful tool is any
artist's dream come true. It is very obvious that Glen is a master at
this program and his approach to teaching it aligns with the artistic
viewpoint while still covering all the technical aspects. Amaze
yourself with what you can create with Zbrush by getting this DVD.
Excellent!" - Michael Tilson |
ZBrush 2.0 is the latest release from Pixologic and continues to be a very individual piece of software. Designed to give an artist the freedom to sculpt high-frequency detail, all the while striving to make it as intuitive as possible. ZBrush has been adopted by major 3D Studios across the world and integrated into the production pipeline. Get Into ZBrush will take the artist on a tour of the ZBrush interface and explain how each tool can fit into their workflow. Using plain, well paced narrative Glen takes the viewer, panel by panel on an eye opening exploration. Part two then moves onto a project to model a 3D head from the innovative ZSpheres onto high polygon modeling, texturing using the native mapping modes and finally onto lighting and rendering the model. There is no other software on the market today that allows you to model organic models with polygons counts reaching the million mark and this video helps you to explore it fully.
