The ZBrush Summit is almost here. A three-day event happening September 28 through 30 in Los Angeles, CA will feature presentations from top ZBrush artists, the Live Sculpt-Off, interviews, contests, the annual ZBrush Awards, and more.
WORKSHOPS
In addition to the exclusive workshops, the ZBrush Summit will be offering a full slate of live presentations that will be streamed LIVE around the world. Of course, the best seats in the house are in the studio (there’s nothing like being there in person!) but no matter where you are, you can be in on the action. You can even communicate directly with the presenters via social media and possibly have your questions answered live.
