Idea sub-d level or polycount for detail???

John Lancaster

I'm working on adding detail to the body mesh of this character I'm working on, and when I use the mask to get the detail going, for example, the boot straps, it's not detailed enough and there are a lot of blocky artifacts.

Should I step up to about 2.5 million polys to correct this?

Any ideas?

The app is Zbrush ?

You will probably have more people interested in helping if you provide an image. The answer to your question would be yes or no, depends.

Oh, yeah. Zbrush.

if you're going to put straps on the boots I'd use a Insert Mesh curve brush. Or extract parts of the boots and sculpt those. Rather than just relying on having enough geometry detail to give a sharp edge.

k, that makes a lot of sense mah man!
Thanks!
