I got a wacom the other week, I'm a bit strapped of cash (an understatment) and only get money if I dig up film work like crappy camera shoots of wanna be pop stars.
Anyway, the wacom would seem a berfect thing for something like this, though I'm thinking my skills aren't p to it really, I can't make a face yet.
I did get the latest 3D world and it has some video tuts of Z-brush on the disc. I'll check the version I have and see if it is a PLE or a demo. Thanks for the warning too, things are bad enough, so much to do so little time to it.
take it easy and life will be easy
