In this first tutorial, we're going to focus on capturing the base shapes of various types of rocks. We will look at 5 different types of rock formations, and practice different methods to extract the base shapes and to capture their distinctive characteristics. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a good understanding of the shaping techniques that I use in many of my rock projects.

In this second installment, we're going to look at how to apply aged and eroded surface detail. We'll start with basic shapes and slowly layer on cracks, pits, etc. I'll walk through different methods that I've developed over the years, and share what to pay attention to, as well as how to get the most realistic results. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a good understanding of how to take basic shapes and build them out into photorealistic rock projects.
