did you purley made it in zbrush?
or dit you made a basic model for it in maya?
when zbrushing do you use an tablet or just the mouse, i think of trying to lear zbrush but i heard its easier to use a tablet because of pressure sensetivity

redmer - yeah i made the base mesh in maya and then exported it over. i think you definitely need a tablet for zbrush - it just gives you more control and is easier to use. i've finally started to get into using one and it's a lot of fun.
GecT - thanks - it's never too early to try it out if you can.
gster - yeah - it's very cool - that last sentence sounds dangerous though.
