Here's my sculpt.
I think i'll finish modeling him first, before detailing.
I found already of what clothes he will be wearing.
This is what I've done already. I don't know if i got the topology right for animation and still thinking on how will i add the details on his leather jacket, i am really new to this.
You know who else he reminds me of?
T-Bag from Prison Break.
Anyways this what i've done so far, im really having a hard time to model the collar/pocket/ of the suit. I dont know if its okay to seperate the collar and the pocket from the suit.
Im planning to remodel this tomorrow.
Here's the chuck that i made for him. Modeled in Modo. its funny how its much easier for me to model this, than his suit, im really having a hard time to model thecollar lol.
I just dont know how to smoothly transfer the sculpted mesh into low poly . Its actually my first time to do this, and its very hard for me to find a good workflow to achieve a high details using normal map. They said i need to manually model the collar in Modo/3dsmax then sculpt it in zbrush, but how will i put the scratch on it to show the flesh/bones behind the suit/pants and still not exceeding the polycounts into 15k triangles.
Anyways, i just focus on sculpting the face first. Need to add more skin details before retopo him.
Sculpt then Retopo?
Manually sculpt in Modo then sculpt?or what?
If your using GoZ you should be able to take the mesh back into modo make the edits needs and then return to zBrush to continue sculpting. Depending on your setup you might need up needing to sculpt the jacket and pants after the remodel.
But the question is a little vague, sorry if this isn't the answer your looking for.
@Anais. It just happened that i have my references to ripped from both sides. Anyways i still followed your instruction and this is what i did so far.
I did not detailed his cloth a lot(test-only). I don't know if this is the right approach to model the hole/scratches from his jacket/pants. The pants/jacket are not thickened from inside, i use double side in zbrush and modo both. I don't know if i can do that, my concerned here is the polycount.
@Anais Thanks man!
Im thinking to model his guitar later. i hope that im still less than 15k triangles.
After learning how to transfer details into lowres,. This was rendered in Modo
IS THIS GONNA BE A STILL-IMAGE CONTEST? OR CHARACTER FINALIZATION FOR ANIMATION?
MY PROBLEM IS THE FOLD OF HIS CLOTH ( JACKET, PANTS), AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE SCULPTED HIM IN A-POSE. SO LITERALLY THE FOLDS WILL ALWAYS CHANGE IN DIFFERENT POSES.
DO I HAVE TO POSE HIM FIRST BEFORE SCULPTING THE CLOTH, OR IS IT OKAY TO SCULPT HIM IN A-POSE?
I think i almost finished modeling him. I decided to make a new jacket for him.
This was rendered in Modo using normal maps. His ready to be texture i guess.
This is what i've done so far.
Polypainted in zbrush.
Update: After a long days of sculpting the cloth, and this is the result so far.
I really learned a lot sculpting the cloth, especially the principles of folds. I have made may tests before turning on this final result. Still need to tweak some are of his jacket/pants though.
Update:: Quick render in zbrush - im planning to add more texture details on his jacket/pants.
Great work!
Anyways. This is my final render for this zombie challenge. I really learned a lot. Hope to see more contest like this in the future.
