In this tutorial I will show how I create a single modular rock and use it to create a larger rock formation with the help of various brushes and techniques.

3 more parts will be released on the 19th

Hello everyone,

5 Concept art essentials volumes have been ready for release for quite a while now but since we are busy with the Hard-surface collection at the moment we haven't had time to prepare standalone releases and presentation for each volume, so we have decided to release it as a collection, 12 volumes in total, 8 that you get today and 4 more on the way that should be ready at the end of this year or very early next year.

If you bought volume 1-3 before this.

Although when purchasing the collection you get 12 volumes for the price of 10, it can feel weird having to purchase something that includes something you already own, so for a limited time we will offer a $5 discount on every volume you already own, so if you for example already own all 3 previously released volumes you get $15 off on the collection. To get the code please send me an Email / Artstation PM / Discord PM, with the following info depending on where you bought them.

Artstation - Order ID or anything else that proves your purchase.
Gumroad - Your Gumroad account email.

Please include the amount of volumes you own.

This offer will only be available for a limited time.

Hello Everyone,

Alphas

I just released a new set of 70 Japanese Ornament Alphas that you can download right away, there will also be two more sets with the Japanese theme, Trim Brushes and Normal/Height Tile Patterns.

As I want to get this out as soon as possible I have decided to skip presentation for the next 2 sets and put everything in a collection product, which I will update every week, all files should be finished until 11/30.

I have also added my Japanese reference sets as a Bonus, so all in all you will save $14.

Masking Alphas Tutorial

When I release new Alphas I always get a lot of questions regarding how I Mask out my alphas after stamping them, so I created this tutorial, hope it can be useful.

Today I'm starting a new tutorial series called ZBrush Masters, it will focus on ZBrush sculpting tutorials, top artists creating something from start to finish, where you can also see their render and presentation workflows and possibly some texturing.

Download & Preview - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Ln4zR

For volume one Mickael Lelièvre will be going over his sculpting and presentation workflows by creating an Arowana fish. Mickael is well known for his amazing collection of creature sculpts and beautiful renders, so if you want to improve in those areas be sure to check it out.

Contents

- 2 Tutorials.
- Fish sculpt Ztool mesh files.
- Render presentation PSDs.
- ZBrush scale brush.

I'm also joining in and using Mickaels sculpt to make an extra render and presentation tutorial, first time I actually talk in video, so go easy on me.
I don't have much experience when it comes to non realtime rendering solutions but Mickael showed me the lighting and rendering template he was using, I tried it out and got great results right away, which is why I wanted to share this with everyone.

Available for

Maya (Arnold)
Maya (V-ray)
Modo
Blender

You can download the Lighting template here - http://bit.ly/JRO-Flipped

As usual if anyone feels they have what it takes and have the interest to join in on a volume send me a message.
