I'm Monica, aka Academic Phoenix. I'm an artist, art director, and educator sharing tutorials on Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, and more. Creating great art is tough. My goal is to help you master tools so you can focus on bringing your vision to life!
🌟 Progress update from Intro to 3D class🎉
Today we dove into a couple of cool techniques: using AI Jitter to generate unique-looking books (same texture, different look!), and working with XGen Fur to create a soft, fuzzy rug.
Next up: lighting and alpha maps for plants.

I'm teaching a digital sculpture class using ZBrush, demonstrating the power of alphas and other essential techniques to my students! Had a lot of fun!

I guess that's it. I'll go read a book now.
