A beginner in character modeling and want to focus on the fundamentals of what makes a good 3D sculpt. Feel free to leave feedback and/or corrective advice on posting etiquette as this is my first post on this site. Thanks!
Hello! I don't have harsh words but hopefully I have useful a critique. You're showing an ortho view of the sculpt. Did you also sculpt in ortho? This can be very challenging and look wrong once you switch to the target focal length in perspective. When working from references look up "focal length portrait" to get a sense…
Well done on finishing your figure to this stage. You haven't done a lot of characters so starting out it's important to shoot for a generic figure. It's not in your best interest to begin with exotic characterization. Get good at standard generic figures first, this gives you a good base. Its much easier to correct your…

Hi! I'm working on a 3D creature design and had to cut the creature into separate objects for sculpting because the computer couldn't handle the subdivided polycount if it was a single mesh. Obviously that creates painfully visible seams which I'm now trying to get rid of. I'm wondering if there is a way to weld separate…
I made a dragon sculpt and I am now trying to make a retopo of it, intended for animation down the line. However while I made a lot of sculpts and still models, I do not have a lot of experience with medium poly character models. I of course watched a lot of tutorials, but I have a lot of questions and desire for feedback…
Hi everyone, I’m currently working on a new project to refresh my portfolio and experiment with some new workflows in ZBrush. I am modeling this vintage hand drill in 3ds Max, using a variety of reference images to create a unique design. My plan is to bring the base into ZBrush to generate the high-poly version, so I’m…
@jstins nice! I think a lot depends on game's viewpoint, since mine is top-down there is so much you can get away with and a lot that just doesn't matter at all. For all the hard surface stuff I did the end result is pretty much identical to what I'd achieve with baking, except silhouettes hold up better with all the…
A Hunter BOW (Bio Organic Weapon) from Resident Evil This is a project that I've been wanting to do since I first started working in 3d almost 7 years ago. At the time I was playing the Resident Evil Code Veronica and these creatures caught my imagination. For some reason I've always loved the design of the creature. I…
