Base Mesh topology and jacket sculpting
Hey all, couple of quickies about character stuff.
Firstly, when building a base mesh for sculpting, which shoulder topology would work better? The 'anatomically favoured' way where the arms extrude out from under the deltoid or the 'bendy straw' method. I know it's a debated topic in terms of animation deformation but I wasn't sure if one way is better for getting a decent result from sculpting.
Secondly, what's a good way of adding an upturned collar that flows into a lapel on a sculpted jacket? Specifically Ghost Riders collar. Should I sculpt the main jacket down to the zip after extracting it from my base, then bring in the collar from some polys separate?
Thanks

For the jacket, I'll let the pros speak.
