Hi everyone!
My first post here!
I am at the process of converting my zbrush sculpt into game rez character, gonna try and maintain the polycount under 10 000.

Here is the zbrush sculpt:






Here was the final result:



This was my first zbrush sculpt, and this is going to be my first game rez character conversion. Wish me luck!

Good Luck!

Looking good! My only two gripes are the wings and the face. The face looks very... 90's? I guess the main turn-off for me is the mouth. As for the wings, they're looking very flimsy and bendy. They need more structure.

I'd say work more on the facial anatomy and material definition. Right now the face seems quite off and rushed, while the metal looks more like concrete and the fur on the boots more like wax. Good effort though!

Well i tried to make the clich

Ok finally finished with the baking and setting up the textures.. got some preview shots of it (will show everything better after i get it setup right, this is just a preview):

these were taken from xnormal's 3d viewer:







This one was a render of 3ds max:



Why does the normals in xnormal 3d viewer make the shapes pop out more than in max? What is the recomended method to shocase a model? Do normals just work better with direct x?

The amount of curve in the wing structure is a little off-putting, considering that wings of this type have bone structure akin to over-stretched hands more than anything. Straightening out the bones beneath the skin would go a long way, as would bulking up the joints a tad. If you're going to rig the wings with any detail, straighter and more defined bones would help keep the shapes more rigid during flapping, which would provide a touch more realism, rather than wiggling floppy red skin flaps up and down.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the comment! You are right, the wings would make more sense if they would stretch out furter. Although i didnt design him to fly, (more like glide) the curve shape does look a little awkward now that you mention it. I will have to design my character next time more carfuly! Thanks for pointing that out Boozekitty!
