Note: Keen to look into rendering tools, I pretty much know nothing about anything other than a basic render in Max. I see some absolutely amazing renders around these days, would be nice to understand at least a few options for my next piece.
Thinking alot about demons at present, thinking i might try a 3D bust sculpt at some point soon. Want to study various ellements of Anatomy before starting to sculpt.
Ive been looking up tutorials to freshen up on sculpting before i start another serious piece but im not sure ive been looking in the right places.
I did find a heap of tutorials, and some really inspirational stuff however overall not the kind of holistic freshness I was looking for.
The fail safe, is to subscribe to Lynda etc for the month and do a refresher on the latest tools i want to use, i.e. mudbox.
wish i could just watch a few utube vids and get on with it but alas.
The Basic Workflow id like to follow is:
Find a concept
High poly sculpt - Mudbox or back to Z-Brush if im not feeling it.
Pixel paint
Turntable
not really interested in game models or animation, just want to sculpt and paint.:poly142:
One thing im still unsure of is Topology, saw a vid of a guy using Z-brush with the Re-Topology tool. Thing wasnt around when i last sculpted. Im just wondering if Mudbox has a similar tool? Its not really of concequence anyway, as i can always model up a base mesh in Max it would be nice to not have to do that however.:thumbup:
