ZBRUSH SUMMIT 2019 – WORKSHOPS, PRESENTERS AND PORTFOLIO REVIEWS


This September 26th-29th, Pixologic will be taking over Hollywood’s prestigious Gnomon School facilities to bring you the ultimate ZBrush experience.

The annual Summit is the year’s biggest event for the ZBrush community. This thread event – streamed live around the world – is a way for digital artists to connect not only with the Pixologic team but also with luminaries from all segments of the industry. The days are packed with talented artists presenting a variety of ZBrush techniques used in real-world productions. Many of the demonstrations feature assets previously unseen outside of the studios.
