Looking for any advice before I start a major project using 3Ds max and Zbrush
Hi guys, I'm about to start a character animation project. I just want to grab all the tips and advice I can before getting started. I'm going to be modelling a character and then animating it.

Please don't say this stuff to beginners! People will just read that and think those autoretopo meshes are good for animation. They are okay for sculpting but for anything that relies on topology, such as animation, the results are just horrible in detail.

The new auto retopo tools in zbrush are amazing, you don't have to make a low poly somewhere else... http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1868327&postcount=20 But for baking, yes, do it else where.
