Pixologic is the company that produces and markets a unique software package that has been around for a long time, but evolved from a 2D-3D artist tool to an amazing 3D sculpting software used in countless movies, games, illustration, animation, and scientific visualization. This happened to be the very presentation I was sitting in on..

The presentatons took place on the studio/campus grounds of the Gnomon school, where pixologic resides as well. The two companies are a great match, since Gnomon also is involved in Zbrush training, as you can see here.

To me, at least, this is very cool stuff, be it the painting or the busts

Talents with fertile minds and nimble fingers at work

 

 

Because of what I learned at the show, I now rearranged my desk and workflow as shown.
