I really need some tips (Max and Zbrush) asap
I've created a character in 3DS Max, with a decent polycount. I then brought the model with its accessories in to zbrush to do some detailing, to create normal map, diffuse, and displacement.

Need some advice/tips on how to sculpt my prop.
Curious how to sculpt this base mesh to look more cartoonish/stylized. some of you probably already have an idea what I'm trying to go for if you've seen my previous posts.

MAX TIP: moving from physique to skin.
I get this question a lot. Skin or Physique. my answer is: skin all the way baby. A common mistake people make is that you DONT have to use physique on a biped, even though they where bundled together. Skin works fine. So whats so good about skin? Most importantly... You can remove, relink and add new bones from your… -
Head Modeling... not progressing... any tips?
Hey there, I'm currently on my 15004th attempt at box modelling a head and the realization that I cannot 'get it' is starting to hit. I'm ok with the 'edge-extrude' point to point method of head modelling, but not only do I find this next to impossible without ref planes, it's slow. I would love to be able to just quickly… -
