Meeting Recap, 3/8

Hey guys!

Announcements:

1) Next friday there will not be a collective meeting because Spring Break will finally be here! So make sure to mark your calendars!

2) After Spring Break there will be a round table networking meeting linked with the ISC. It features very well known people in the industry, such as our very own Alex Alvarado who worked on Wreck-It Ralph and is currently working on the next big Disney feature film.

This week we experienced the wonderful world of ZBrush with Allison Josephine!

We learned how to texture/color/render objects made in Maya, use hot keys in ZBrush, and even create creatures using ZSpheres.

If you would like a copy of the ZBrush note sheet that was handed out during the meeting or the notes that were taken just notify a leader and we'll gladly send you the either!

Until then, have a wonderful Spring Break!
