Artstation - 3D to 2D Workflow for Environment Design

ZBrush can be a valuable tool for quickly and accurately building out an environment base for 2D environment concept art. In this series, Stéphane Wootha Richard covers his process for sculpting environment assets in ZBrush, showing how to render the scene out for a 2D paintover, and then showing his process for painting over the 3D scene in Adobe Photoshop to create the final beauty shot.
