    update :
    a little bit of sculpting
    im kinda new to zbrush so i havent figured out or used all the tools yet
    there appears to be a ton of them :)
    and man look at those stitching :D
    feels good working with a program that can handle more than just 1 million polygons .

    For a hobbyist you're making a sweet girl! I suggest you to work some more on her proportions, but you're moving in the right direction. :)

    update :
    low poly done -
    progress1.png

    after i finished retopo i found myself with a 27k tris count :D
    so yeah .. it was a pain reducing it to 20k
    right now i got 20864 tris :D

    and well .... having trouble baking maps from the high poly
    xnormal keeps giving me an error ( external component has thrown and exception )
    my guess would be its because the high poly obj file is to big in size ( 900 MB ) i didnt go this big before so not sure
