video tutorial - wood carving panel (Maya/Zbrush)

bugo

Hey guys, just wanted to post the first picture of this tutorial I'm making for wood carving panel texturing in Maya and Zbrush.

The first video shows:

- How to model the leaves and flower
- Get a nice and clean mesh flow
- Export the mesh to zbrush
- Project mesh to a plane with the resolution ratio needed
- Adding details to edges and crevices
- Add wood detail and bumps

2nd video: I should be showing how do to do polypainting with masks, bakes and applying it to a lowpoly mesh/shader


Here's the image of the final result:

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of thing I'm working on at the moment, albeit with Blender and Mudbox. Haven't watched yet but the result pic looks stunning.

Yeah, this one uses Maya and Zbrush tho, but you can try getting the same technique and applying to whatever software I believe.

thanks, this looks very cool and this is exactly what I'm working on currently. My modelling techniques seem to be mostly in line with yours but there are a couple of tips which would help me get my meshes cleaner.

bugo

Glad I could help somehow.

I wanted to improve the features to the texture.
So here's an update:
