Workflow suggestions - Human Skull for Dungeon in Unity 5

NostalHAJ

Greetings.

I'd like to hear some suggestions for workflows.
I am working on a dungeon in unity 5 with a modular workflow.
Now i was thinking a dungeon needs skulls ofc.

Here are my 2 ideas for workflows:

1. Create skull lowpoly in 3dmax 2017 + unwrap..> export to Zbrush ..> sculpt details and create highpoly --> bake maps and texture skull in substance painter

2. Create lowpoly + unwrap in Zbrush --> create highpoly in Zbrush --> bake maps and texture skull in substance painter.

What do you guys think about those 2 workflows. Which could be better and why?

Thanks!

Neither, make the high poly first. Generally speaking, how do you expect to make a decent low poly model if you don't even know what the final high poly mesh is going to look like?

Either block out a high in Max to detail in Zbrush, or for something so simple just make the high all in Zbrush. Then model & unwrap the low in Max.

ok. but how do i model the low? decimation master in zbrush and then export it to 3dsmax? what would be the best workflow?

The skull is an organic model. You'll do your low poly by retopologizing it on top of you high poly sculpt.
