Some 3ds Max/Zbrush/ 3D Coat questions

Zack-StefyRO

Hey guys, I have some questions..
1. Is there any official GoZ for 3d Coat so I can directly import the models into Zbrush?
2. I'm a noob at 3ds Max, and I really want to know how to create the armor for this troll ( lord of the rings style) in 3ds Max..i've imported the base model from Zbrush using GoZ .
Thanks!!

You're going to want to define your sculpt further before adding on armour pieces, then you'll have a more accurate base to fit the armour to. Then I'd suggest planes and the shell modifier.

Also, for next time, use to embed an image.

yeah..i know..but the question is : how do I make the armor?! I don't know how, i really want to learn

That's kind of a big question, you know? The easiest way to get an answer to a question like that is to figure it out yourself.

If you want to do it in ZBrush, I could give you some hints, I suppose. The first thing you should do is take your ZSphere armature and Dynamesh it. Do some shaping on it so that it fits pretty well the shape of a naked troll. At the point where you're satisfied with how your troll body sculpt is, you can paint a mask on the body where you want the armor piece to be, go to Subtool->Extract, and use the extracted subtool as a base mesh for your armor piece.
