Sculpt Advice

BlueNapalm

Hello. I'm still somewhat of a beginner with sculpting. I was wondering what the best approach to a sculpt is when crating clothes or armor? The way I approached this was duplicating the base model and working on the copy. I sculpted on the base body layer. Was this a wise choice or should I have made the separate pieces onto different layers? Does it really even matter since during the retopo the pieces could be made separate?

You should make every gear piece a separate subtool extracted from the basemesh (you can search for the methods). That will allow you to keep the basemesh clean and give you freedom to work in every piece.

But if I were you, I would grab an anatomy tutorial 1st before going deeper in the character creation process. Don't rush it, give it the time it deserves. Anatomy is very important for a character artist.

Thank you for the reply. Subtool. I imagine that's a Zbrush method. I'll have to figure out something similar that works in 3D-Coat. Would you recommend any Anatomy Tutorials?
