ZBrush interview with Rick Baker 6 time Academy Award winner.

[PunkLooees]

I like to pee on my wife.

[EMJAYFAB]

@PunkLooees I like to pee on ur wife too!

[PunkLooees]

@EMJAYFAB You must be my pee !

[EMJAYFAB]

@PunkLooees Yes, I am. I am formed of Bud light and Gatorade. It does not take long to get out of your turkey twizzler willy. lol

[tripleleap]

how much money does he earn????

[ewigkase1]

i wish i could work up to a billion polys i get to 6 million and i will crash :(

[zurechtweiser]

I like it how his beard color and hair color match his skin color.

[expio]

He is a smart man to use modern age tools, such as zbrush (Provided that this is not a marketing set up).

Only because of his openness towards new ways of creating art was he able to stay and prove himself as one of the best. This ability must stem from his sheer endless passion for this craftsmanship.

I bet he will get to see his 10th Academy Awards someday.

[MrAwfulFalafel]

I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Mr. Rick Baker. He's such a down to earth guy. A real professional.

[aytugfidan]

Is there anyone who knows the name of the song? It's been asked 5 times before me but i still have the hope to find it..

[aytugfidan]

@aytugfidan I finally got the name of the song:  "Aim - Cold Water Music" Thanks again Vivien!

[tuuexx]

as an artist,r.b. has always be one of the best.i do feel sad alot,because if a person can do c.g.i.,and pull it off, im not needed anymore......

[kyleisreallycool]

@tuuexx artists are still needed for cgi

[tuuexx]

@kyleisreallycool -thanks man,perhaps thats a saving grace.i sculpt things all the time,most goes unseen.mabie i will post pics of some stuff,but i work to please something inside myself,and rarlePassionate thiefs,gotta love it!y sell them.i instead allow stuff out on loan for shows.i never go back for stuff,and most stuff gets stolen,or is nabbed.that makes me smile.Passionate thieves love it ! .

[TooRealForTV]

The popeye is amazing. BUT he looks scary and popeye was a lovable character. I dont think a guy that ugly will be loving and eating spinach. lol

[videmiatrix]

awsome all was said

a little step for men a big one for artist thanks zbrush

[craigfromnewcastle]

Wish they'd call it Zed brush tho being English.

Good to see much more of Rick's work online, for years he shied away from it.

Does anyone know if Dick Smith is still alive? Hope he is.

ZBrush looks fantastic. Nice video thank you

[Ayoubsss]

I love people smiling all the time :)

This guy is awesome !

[bertocaster]

God i want ZBrush. Its part of my dream mini studio.

[Blowjegek]

@bertocaster get it :) It's not that expensive (500 dollar) and you get a licence for life, which mean each update will be free

[Graylord88]

You can't "print" it out to real life obviously, but doing so would have no purpose anymore anyway as animation is now replacing real effects. (Sadly)

[ysg]

@Graylord88 actually you can print out models with rapid prototyping machines, a.k.a. 3D Printers, they've become very popular in the toy and collectible figure industry.

[Graylord88]

@ysg True, but it was a reply to using it for film.

[bdragon254]

@Graylord88 of course 3D printing has a purpose! which is of course why they still have the option and why 3D printing is always getting better. can you not see the potential for making mock ups, prototypes, figurines etc? They even use the printed 3D models to make casts for molds so that everything from rubber masks to engines can be made from a modeling program like ZBrush, C4D, CAD etc.

[Graylord88]

@bdragon254 It's almost amazimg how little referemce your responce has to my post.

[bdragon254]

@Graylord88 Quote: "You can't "print" it out to real life obviously, but doing so would have no purpose anymore anyway as animation is now replacing real effects. (Sadly)" Hmm, i think its quite obvious what you meant. Of course "ysg" agreed since his/her response was similar. I think you made a comment founded with no real knowledge and now you're doing your best to backpeddle. LOL It isn't working very well... oh by the way amazing is spelled with an N.

[Graylord88]

@bdragon254 Oh no, I made a typo. I must be an idiot because of it. But really, you missed my point. I was replying to someone who talked about "printing out" the 3d models and using them on the film set instead of normal animation inserted in later. However, the object obviously is still static, so it wont animate. I guess it could be useful to get the real lighting as a reference to the guy doing lighting on the special effects, so that he can blend in the animation better. Bah, I digress.

[Graylord88]

@bdragon254 All in all, What I meant was that most movie companies are replacing more and more of their set and props with 3D animation, rather going full circle and using it to create objects. Some of them has even replaced the actors with 3D in 90% of the scene, so you almost start wondering why they are not just voice acting. Sorry, I digress, again.

[Graylord88]

@bdragon254 Bah youtube, stop running out of space. Anyway, I've always been a guy who prefer animatronics, costumes and masks to do the job, it looks so much better in the end. But they are not doing it, they are relying on 3d in the these days, and even more so each day. It's not my choice, it's what they to. You may think "but it can be used for this and that" all you want, but I am talking about special effects in video entertainment, not practical uses otherwise.

[itachi0vamp]

is he rich?

[micahdc]

a machine makes it

[micahdc]

I've been here and met Rick Baker!

[michaelforthriller]

Rick is awesome......every cool movie is made cause of him.....

[yzorg]

ever heard of a 3D printer ?!?

[mikeccuk2006]

does it comes with the 3d scanner lol

[MAzz426]

look no 3d program can "print" out a 3d model, its not possible, your thinking of CAD and laser sutting what you said makes no sense

[liammaier]

same to you ^^

CAD and laser sutting wont print you a 3d model

a 3d printer will! ^^

[iMckellar]

LOL :)

[FatManDerek]

Look, Get your facts your facts straight. Zbrush can print using resin or what ever works. And look up 3d printing mate.

[jarooFLtutor]

export as an obj or something and then u can import it into max etc I belive. Not sure but saw a tut about it some time ago :)

[yadran77]

does anyone knows the name of this song? it's so cool!!

[anton1990]

The Jack PIerce of our time.

[Fretslayer]

Rick Baker is an effects GOD!

[TheZombiePanda]

I have zBrush. :]

I need to practice.

[3Dgolumn]

Dude!!! I just checked the American Warewolf in London, and the effects and everything deffinately beats CGI work, I never saw the film but saw few pictures and how it was set, I bet it is more frightning to see a real tihng than just a CGI.:) gooo man go Rick Backer, I already own Zbrush and it is great I love it in every way, and hope it does love you all:) woot.

[jmlvr123]

what is the song in the beginning?

[philgunman]

just watch the video jackass,nvm the music lord

[jmlvr123]

okay fyi i did not know it said what music they played so dont get your undies in a twist and you dont have to be a jack*** yourself about it!!!

[jmlvr123]

his job is what i wanted to major in since i was a kid! thanks for putting this up!

[Xqrement]

Rick you rock!!

[Rysiek120]

He's awesom :D anybody knows the name of this song?

[Songya28]

...Rick Baker is a LEGEND!!! I liked what he did in Ed Wood!!!! So has he substituted prosthetic makeup application with ZBrush?? Knowing Rick, he'll still use prosthetic a little LOL

[hazonku]

If Rick Baker says get a computer program you should totally get it. Rick Baker is EPIC! Those of you who don't know who he is don't worry, you know his work I could bet money on that. He is a king of traditional visual effect. His transformation work on American Werewolf in London (1981) still hasn't been beat.

[vivien44]

ps can anybody tell me what this song is????? i used to have it but i forget the title!! thank you!!!

[InSaneTK]

Not quite sure, but it's from Cafe Del Mar

[vivien44]
