Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank all the people who worked so hard on this project, most especially the editors, David Clark, Eric Charbonneau, and Paul Gaboury. I’d also like to thank Mariann Barsolo and Pete Gaughan. I really want to thank all the folks at Pixologic, including Jaime Labelle, Ofer Alon, Melissa Zalinksi, and of course, Paul Gaboury (again). The folks at Pixologic welcomed me into the exclusive ZBrush 4 beta program and went out of their way to help me create the best ZBrush book possible. • I want to thank my students and friends who provided the images for the color inserts, including Scott Spencer, Margaret Dost, Curt Binder, Nathan Morgan, Anthony Ragusa, George Georgy, Nathan Healy, Niki Mull, Jermaine Dennis, Ryan Kinsglien, Ara Kermankian, Hunt Dougherty, and Miguel Gorjao Clara. • I’d like to thank the following artists, teachers, and authors for their inspiration over the years: Drew Berry, Lee Lanier, Dariush Derakhshani, Kevin Llewellyn, John Brown, Gael McGill, Scott Spencer, Alex Alvarez, Mark Dedecker, Ryan Kingslien, and everyone at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects. • Naturally, all the programmers and designers who work so hard to develop this software deserve special recognition for their hard work. They are the true artists who allow the rest of us to create such fantastic things. • Extra special thanks go my wife, Zoe, for tolerating my nonstop talk of SubTools, Shadowbox, and unified skins, as well as my pals Daisy and Joe, who force me to go outside. And as always, special thanks to little Blue, whose hungry ghost still haunts the kitchen.
