Hi Sampson, Yeah I agree about him being a bit shiny. Just the material I assigned whilst working in zbrush.

And yeah, it is my first time using it. As for how I like it...

For modeling from scratch, not very much. I much rather prefer moving verts, edges and faces, whereas in zbrush it's like sculpting in clay with the mouse as your tool to poke and push etc. (I was never very good at sculpting anyway).

For detailing an imported model from Maya, I LOVE it. You can get so much detail into a model right down to scratches on their fingernails, skin pores, veins etc.
Also painting in 3D space is AWESOME! Way easier than trying to make all the colours line up on the seams of a UV snapshot in Photoshop.

So whilst I still prefer Maya's interface and move controls (Alt left, middle or right mouse click) as opposed to zbrushes move controls (mouse click to rotate, Alt mouse click to pan and Alt mouse click release Alt to zoom) I still feel that it's worth the extra features that it brings to a modeler/texturer artist.
