I want to learn how to make 3D objects with ZBrush© software because searching for the perfect stocks is the biggest obstacle for me. Sometimes I give up on making projects just because I couldn’t find the right stock image. So I want to make my own objects and put it the way I want & that will take my works to the next level.
