Re: Sculpting a Character
There's two workflows, low-poly mesh it first, or Dynamesh, but the main problem right now is that you're not entirely grasping onto the features of the face. Your method only works if you modeled the low-poly well enough to accomodate the rough 'planes' of the face, but if you're not familiar with them, Dynamesh it,… -
Re: ZBrush Custom UI Showcase
Working on my own custom UI and ran into a problem. I've got the dynamesh controls docked in the top bar, but after restarting ZBrush (4r4 p2) it swaps the dynamesh Polish button to the Shadowbox Polish slider. Anyone else finding this? Also, the joy I had when I found that disabling Lightbox at startup worked is now gone.… -
Re: Proportions & Zbrush Practise
Zbrush is a long learning curve. What generally happens in the beginning is that people attempt to sculpt higher levels before they have nailed in the base mesh. With Dynamesh, it takes away the inadequacies of working directly from a ZSphere. Once you have a generally block out with ZSpheres...Dynamesh it to give a better… -
Re: How to make my model less heavy so I can unwrap for UV mapping.
There are a lot of ways to work with zbrush, that's why it's such a good tool :] Some workflows I can think of are: A. You can work with dynamesh all the way, then do a retopo and reproject your details back with subdivs. B. You can work with dynamesh just to get the silhouette of the model, retopo that, and start using… -
Re: How to Scult Soft and Smooth Curves in Zbrush?
You're still pushing verts either way so the same principals still apply. Like with traditional modeling, you'll want to try and make your largest changes with as few vertices as possible and let the subdivision take care of the rest. If you're using dynamesh and the lowest you can get is 100k verts, then you'll have a… -
Re: First Try at Character Sculpting in Zbrush
@PyrZern - At the moment I'm just trying to learn how zbrush applies to characters and replicate what Madeleine Scott-Spencer is doing in the tutorial. What I'll likely do after this is make an anotomically correct skull, and then add muscles to that to get a firm understanding of facial anatomy. I'll be posting that in… -
Re: Noob question about smoothing techniques
sorry, English isn't my native language and I don't know the proper terms what I'm mean is smoothing edges like that: But I've seen vids where people just use Dynamesh and polish in Zbrush - like here: http://polycount.com/discussion/168610/proboolean-dynamesh-hardsurface-workflow-tutorial/p1 (and I'm not talking about… -
What plugin do you need next for 3DS Max?
Hey guys it's Marius. I've been working the last couple of weeks on some modifiers for 3DS Max. The first one is a DynaMesh modifier. It is like dynamesh from zbrush. The second one is a ShrinkWrap modifer. It takes the vertices from one mesh and projects them the other mesh based on normals or closest surface point. It… -
Re: Max to zbrush export. Smoothing
if it's just scratches and small imperfections you don't need Zbrush , could be done in texture painting soft if it's some bigger damage or design variations you could dynamesh whatever millions you have just imported. It does sometimes make you split your model in parts but often you can rely on "project" button and… -
Re: Classic Male Scuplt
Thank you all for the comments and crits they are really helpful! Disanski and Neox adding a bit of weight and fixing joints shouldn't be too hard, thanks for pointing those out. Psyk0, really helpful advice, thank you. The biggest problem I have trying to smooth it out is that I started it in dynamesh and this is my…
