Re: Baking

Rock creation workflow using subtractive voxel sculpting as a starting point
Hi guys, I just finished a tutorial on how I sculpted and textured this rock: This final asset is a 2000 poly model, I have rendered it in Marmoset Toolbag.

Faces... Faces... Heads....

I'm listening.… -
Re: ZBrush - Seeking workflow advice / suggestions
@kanga Thanks for the input. You're right, I will stay more focused and on task. I'll mess around with z-layers at some other time perhaps.
