Zbrush detailing, how to approach?

SuperFranky

I have a half a body for a character, which is upper body and head as a one mesh. And I need to detail all of it, but unfortunately looks like my pc can't handle enough subdivisions to do that. And I want to keep the body and the head as a one piece at the end. If it's of any help, whole body will use two texture maps. Is there something I can do in this case?

How detailed are you getting that your PC can't handle it on zbrush of all things :P are you trying to texture the skin?

Trying to add pores, wrinkles and stuff like that. It's already at 10mil polys and it's not enough for perfect details and my pc can't handle another subdiv without major troubles. (Actually, it can't handle much more at all, since I don't have much RAM)

Create a height map and convert it to normal map, which you can use to add those details.
