Zbrush Boolean Detailing Question

apollo580

Hi All,

I'm working on a model (below), and am wondering how I should incorporate booleans into my detailing workflow. I got the major shapes I want on my model and want to add some boolean details on most parts. I normally create a concept, then extract the parts I need and rebuild using zspheres before creasing to create the clean shapes I need. When I cut in details with booleans should I dynamesh the model afterwards with a high value to maintain my overall clean shapes? Or do I just leave the mesh with the ugly boolean geometry it creates when you subtract or union parts? Whats the typical workflow people use for detailing with booleans? Thank you for any input!!

Workflow for what? Concepting? Illustration? Fun? Production asset?

I'm practicing creating production assets so that's the workflow I'm aiming for.

If they're details that don't break or affect the silhouette then just apply them during texturing(or as floaters if you don't use Substance)

You haven't given any details on your intentions so I'm just guessing it's tertiary detailing you're talking about.
