“Paul always has a great attitude during the class which makes the learning experience very enjoyable. He is great at demonstrating with examples the purpose of each tool, and he always comes up with more than one solution for each problem I encountered.”

“I found Paul’s instruction to be really engaging and his deep knowledge and his related methodologies made the material both fun and easy to pick up. Great class for gaining a stronger understanding of hard surface modeling and ZBrush’s versatile features.”

"Paul's class made me rethink about hard surface modeling in a new way; his instructions and critiques are one of the most insightful, followed by his deep knowledge of ZBrush, he was always engaging and optimistic about our work and in the class in general. I would recommend this class to anyone who would want to learn more about the more advanced areas of hard surface modeling and unique features of ZBrush; as a character artist I have transitioned my hard surface modeling from other programs to ZBrush now because of Paul's class."

"Paul Gaboury adds a certain energy to the room, even if it's just a web meeting. He keeps students engaged by being fun and a bit goofy, but absolutely knows his ZBrush. I think I received about 3 classes worth of information from his class, and as far as I remember, there wasn't really a question about ZBrush he couldn't answer.”

“Paul's class was by far the most complete ZBrush experience I ever had. If wasn't just for the massive expertise he has about modeling, sculpting, and helping students to visualize and fix issues they could encounter ahead in a production pipeline, being that for games, movies, or toys, his charisma and energetic personality made the class very fun and much easier to absorb. With the myriad of tools, tips, tricks, and the deeper software knowledge we went through in just 10 weeks, bound with the momentum all of it together helped to build during my creative process, I can only qualify it as not only a great, but a real master class.”

“I was relatively new to ZBrush when I took Paul’s class at Gnomon. I had already spent time watching Paul’s livestreams, but I can say that actually being in class with one of the pillars of ZBrush’s development makes a HUGE difference. Learning personally from Paul, I had the ability to ask him questions about his workflow and methodologies. I am a concept artist, and use 3D in my workflow, but am not really savvy at box modeling. I had no idea how effective of a hard surface modeler ZBrush is until I took Paul’s class. It just “makes sense” to me as a more intuitive thinker. I was always drawing spaceships and giant robots as a kid. Paul has totally rekindled my passion for vehicle and mech design, and has empowered me with a highly effective workflow that fits the way I think.”

I'm primarily a self taught 3D artist with some traditional drawing background. ZBrush was always something I really wanted to delve a little bit more into, but up until Paul's class I've only used it for very basic work.

In reality, I never thought I would be able to make anything as complex as what he challenged me to do, after taking just one term class.

Paul's array of knowledge in ZBrush is mind boggling and he does give away everything he knows in a straight to the point, concise and clearly explained manner. Besides that, his classes are always super entertaining, he always manages to grab my attention regardless of the complexity of the subject at hand. Paul's probably the best and most entertaining 3D teacher I've had and I am eternally grateful to him for his contribution to the development of my skills as an artist and ZBrush enthusiast.
