As with most of the newer features in ZBrush Pixologic provide you with an extensive set of ZScripts to help you understand the basics. Polyspheres is no exception.

Pixologics Zbrush lives in a world somewhere between 2D and 3D never really knowing which camp to lie in. With it we can create 3D meshes that can be textured and have native materials added to them. Zbrush uses a technology called `Pixols` that sees each pixel as a 3D image that retains width, height and, more importantly, depth information. Once you `snapshot` a model (or Ztool) into an image you can still add depth with a number of brushes, change the model's material and even adjust the lighting. In this tutorial we will attempt to walk you through the creation of a detailed head study (called `EFXterminator`). The steps will lead you through modelling the head from a basic 3D sphere, adding colour and material to the model then creating and adding textured eyeballs. Finally, we'll model the hoses and metal parts of the image before moving on to lighting and rendering. The steps we describe are not the only way to achieve things in Zbrush.

Depth of Field is one of those things that is more often than not, over used. However it does form an important role in generating realistic imagery in 3 dimensional environments. This tutorial does not discuss the correct use of DOF, but instead will show a simple but effective way to set-up a camera that can control DOF without needing work out distances.

Maya paint effects is a very powerful feature in Maya which you can use to create animated plants and grass without using any third party plug-in. However Maya paint effects has its own drawbacks. The main drawback is you cannot render shadows with paint effects.
