Each of these chapters reads more like a tutorial, basically a step by step guide for creating the 3D model. However, the bulk of the text follows 3 projects, a fantasy girl, a cyborg goblin, and a sci-fi robot. There are 7 chapters in the book, 2 short introductions to the ZBrush app and interface, and 2 chapters at the end to show the KeyShot app and 3D printing.

I’d consider this text to be a great success and I’m happy to have checked it out, even though I’m not totally sure I need ZBrush for my workflow. The art here is great, and the various authors do a good job of showing every step you need to take to replicate their results. At 288 pages, it’s not the longest book but it focuses on 3 specific projects and feels more like a tutorial than anything else.

Beginner’s Guide to ZBrush is packed to the brim with full-color photos, and the paper quality is top notch. While I enjoy reading on Kindle (where possible) this book was only available in print when I originally purchased, and I’m actually glad I got the real book.
