Me: Eric Keller

Hi and welcome to my Blog. This is a hastily compiled record of my digital art and computer graphics experiments. I am a freelance CG artist living and working in Hollywood CA. I have written several books on Maya and ZBrush. Below my blog you'll find links to the books and tutorials I have authored and co-authored. I also occasionally teach at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood.I named my blog "Bloopatone" in honor of my first dog "Blue". She passed away a few years ago and I still miss her even though she was very grouchy and liked to bite me!

I'm proud to be an instructor at The Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. Take a look at the work of our students and instructors on the Gnomon School Blog and the Gnomon Workshop Blog

ZBrush 4 R2 Videos

Hi folks, ZBrush has just released ZBrush 4 R2. This is equivalent to a "dot release" in that it is not a full version upgrade - but that is largely semantics, its a major release that rivals and surpasses the full version upgrades of other 3D software...looking at you Maya 2012.

This release has amazing new features that will actually change the way you sculpt in ZBrush. If you are not a ZBrush user I think now is a good time to get into ZBrush. Many of the new features make sculpting even easier and more natural.

Pixologic hired me to create some videos along with his awesomeness Paul Gaboury. Both Paul and I used a collection of models created by the beta testers as well as our own models. Check out the videos! here's a link to them on ZBrush Central: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?161537-ZBrush-4R2-ZClassroom-Movies.-Update-3&p=895791&viewfull=1#post895791 Enjoy!!

  5. keep in mind that this edition covers ZBrush 4 so some features such as Dynamesh are not covered but the book will give you a good introduction to all major features. The interface hasn't changed very much, just some new features have been added since the book was published.

  8. I will have to contact the publisher and find out what happened. Most likely a link was broken because something was shifted or perhaps I have a typo in my link. Can you please email me at www.bloopatone.com?
