Barrel Workflow

maximumsproductions

I'm curious how to go about sculpting a barrel the fastest way possible while still striving for hero prop fidelity.

Sculpting 20+ planks to a realistic state seems like a near waste of time for variance that would go un-noticed.

I'm wondering would a popular workflow to be just sculpt ~4 variants and place them around the object?

Just wondering what someone else might do as a smarter approach than go in and sculpt from purely a cylinder in zbrush.

Maybe this can help you. This is my personal method:


Step 1= Simple Highpoly and Lowpoly models: http://i.imgur.com/utJf3SI.jpg
Step 2= Baking and textures work: http://i.imgur.com/XMqeGzy.jpg

Thanks guys! Definitely going with the 2-3 planks idea. Just afraid of manipulating decimated objects. I guess I could turbo smooth before then to make sure some surfaces have enough polys to deform. Anyways very reassuring.
