ZBrush helps bring these prize fighters to life. To many people, the process of rapid prototyping sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. Well, it’s as “REAL” as it gets with Legacy Effects in this Hollywood blockbuster. Read more at MovieMaker.com about how this interesting technology is changing the way movies are made, and digital assets are literally brought to life. Watch ZBrush at the center of it all.

Since its inception, the Modern Warfare brand has steam rolled the competition. With the latest release having already established itself as the highest grossing game in history, at a whopping 1 Billion dollars in only 16 days, there isn’t much left to contest.
Being the greatest isn’t easy. It takes serious tools to create a game with the impact of Modern Warfare 3. At the core of this franchise is the World’s greatest 3d sculpting software, ZBrush. Over the course of the franchises existence, ZBrush has been a go-to weapon of choice for the designers and developers of the world’s fastest selling entertainment property.
As Joe Salud at Sledgehammer states, ZBrush is “awesome, everything comes out as real geometry, then you can bake that into a normal map – the results are extremely convincing and the way it reacts to light is better.”
ZBrush continues to lead digital soldiers onto the battlefield the world over.

Pixolator has posted a new video featuring the beefed up BPR in the upcoming ZBrush 4R2b. This video explains the steps he used to create a realistic skin surface.
“In the previous “Ready, Set, Render!” thread, I demonstrated the use of BPR when rendering a ‘hard-surface’ model. This time, I opted to demonstrate the use of Z4R2b BPR for rendering an organic surface, in particular, a skin surface. For this test, I used an excellent head sculpt created by ZBrush artist Majid Esmaeili.” -Pixolator
