Creating fabric/bandages

Youngy798 · Nov 2014

Hey guys, I am currently working on this concept from the game Rust.

I have gotten to the point where I am going to start working on the stock, and I wanted some advice before I jumped into modelling it.

In some of their other work they have pieces like:

and:

Basically I am wondering how I would recreate an effect like this on my model, and how would I go about dealing with it in the low poly.

Thanks in advance

I saw an example of doing this in Ndo2 but it doesn't really seem like the effect I am looking for

I've seen this done using curve/strips in zbrush, as for low poly yeh model the neccessary silhouette details (based on your own poly limits) and then it's all from your texture and normal map. I apologise for this being quite vague

90% of the time they are simple loops. Meaning that it is not a continuous fabric, but separate meshes instead. For example the top gun has ten loops while the bottom has five. Just make one, detail it and copy it a couple times, deform it a bit here and there. Add some wear and tear... and nobody can tell whether it's one fabric or not

retopo with strokes in 3dcoat always felt the quickest way to me, then shell to give it thickness and then a quick sculltpass, if you want structure, unwrap it before giving it thickness
