Hi! I'm new to 3d and this will be my first post on the forum, so please bear with me if im a bit blank in regards to the basics. It's been two months since I started learning 3d modeling on my own. Creature design has always been a big passion of mine however it was a bit of a side thing cause I wanted to pour more time…
Hey Polycounters, I'm currently sculpting a tree asset to be used in a larger UE4 I plan to create. I'm having trouble figuring out the best workflow to make my low poly retopologized asset from my high poly sculpt. So far I have sculpted the tree trunk in Zbrush and now I'm trying to figure out the most practical way to…
Hi everyone, firstly I'd just like to say that I've been browsing the site since joining and really love the amount and quality of feedback you guys give.

I love Marvel and I love Siryn (We're both from Ireland and Deadpool loves her, what more can you want?!) and I thought the…
The Decimation Master plugin works externally, then uses GoZ to load the new mesh over what you had. My working assumption (take this with a grain of salt) is that whenever Zbrush imports a polymesh, it creates some kind of connection between the imported model and the boundaries/scale of whatever currently selected…

The guys above have some very good advice. I would add that it seems like you are using the exact same basemesh for each female piece, which is a huge handicap when it comes to learning. I might be wrong and I apologize if I am, but the anatomy is apparent in the fingers and general shape, and the topology all reads the…
hello haikai and james! thank you both for writing such detailed responses to my work, this is priceless input. I of course agree with everything that both of you have said. In this time, jobs are hard to get, and employers are going through tons of student portfolios looking for any reason to toss them to the side, and I…
