Doctor WIP - My first Work

RicardoAlves

Hello polycount forum,

This is my first post in this community, I'm currently creating a work in zbrush for my school final project. I thought sharing with you my progress and doubts...

UPDATE : I thought sharing with you my full project progress, I'll post every step of my work. This consist in 2 scenes, 1 character (doctor) and the experience with the 3D futuristic machine. I'll work with Zbrush for the first time ever and 3D Max.

I started with zsphere.



Sculpted it basically and dividing, make a poly mesh 3d. used around4 brushes, Clay was my favorite eheh



I continued dividing it, I guess I did the DinaMesh thing too , and now I can divide it more than 3 times I guess because my computer slows down.



And this is my "almost sculpted" doctor, note that this is my first project, I did the eyes with some subtool sphere, and so on...

I would make a retopo with some proper edgeloops and i would create a hole where his mouth is (in the lowpoly. I know many people dont want to mess around with the technical stuff at the beginning, but nothing beats a proper low poly with the right loops as a base

RicardoAlves

nice

ArminChaudhry

well if you want to create a hole in zbrush, just mask his mouth, go to the visibility tab click hidept and then go to the geometrie tab and press delhidden

Progress of first scene:



progress and character on scene. I've complete the base mesh of the character on Zbrush, it was 12.666 points witch gave me a 900mb .obj file so I've decimated the character really bad, it is a 8mb .obj file now.

Cool. Reminds me SPACE odyssey movie ( one of my fav old s-f movie )

You're doing good with hard surface. Keep studying anatomy, this humanoid needs more work I think!

Cheers!

i notice in the turn table he is a little off balance try drawing a strait line frim te tip of his head to the middle of his feel (side on and front on). but so far looking really great

Hi guys, my intencion on the humanoid is to make a old doctor without a stait line in his back, I guess I'll even push his neck down a bit.. thanks for the advices anyway, here are some progress, you can see some new lights, and the ship base mesh

that's fine but even crooked old people have a centre of gravity and unless this guy is bent in a really stylistic way or walks with a cane he is tipping forward. You need bend the spine slightly back and then forward and not just turn it's joints to the neck or pelvis. Then you can realign the neck, pelvis and base of the feet (with the knees moving properly between) to put his centre of gravity back on a straight.

I made a diagram please excuse it's non-wacom shittyness.

RicardoAlves

Thank you snacuum, I find your diagram really usefull, I'll update my character later !

Hi guys, it has been a while.. The school is almost over, and i've got to speed up my project production, so some of the texture are directly from Dosch sci-fi texture pack, and well, you'll see.. Also made some changes to my model, thank you Snacuum for the suggestions. I'll post new turntable soon..
