    1. Whats the best Tutorial to learn ZBrush?
    2. Hi, I'd like to ask what would be the best workflow to unwrap it in Maya, or in ZBrush. I don't want to decimate it too much, as I don't want to loose the detail of wax drops. I know the trick with zRemeshing Low Poly, then projecting on High poly, but whats next ? Maybe someone can share tutorial?
    3. Recommend courses on zbrush

    1. Hey! I have been learning ZBrush for the last few months. I currently have a Wacom Bamboo that a friend lent me. I'm thinking about buying an Intuos Pro but I read mixed reviews. Would you recommend it? Is there a better one in that price range? Thanks in advance!
    2. Getting into Zbrush, found a Wacom Tablet (used) that I‘d like to buy. He says he has used it a lot, has some scratches (on sides & painting area) on it & he’s recommend getting a new battery. Is this a good buy? Don’t know anything about tablets! Appreciate any advice!
    3. Got the wacom tablet which came with free ZBrush software. Any comprehensive youtube videos you would recommend to beginners?
