Re: Next Gen Characters Progress Thread II
I'm not a Character artist, so I guess one can come and say his view on this, but I'll answer, No. Your Zbrush basemesh needs to be only quad and equally sized quads (for starting, no need to go fancy with Dynamesh and stuff like that.) Your low poly can be different as it needs edge loops around the face features,… -
Re: why do I need two high-poly models?
On top of what oglu said it also often used to create a cleaner mesh with more even topology at a lower subdivision. Many times people will quickly rough out a character using dynamesh and other methods that can cause messy topology. Going through with zremeshing the model and then reprojecting the highpoly onto it will… -
Re: Gothic Punk
Woah, this looks cool. I'm loving the highpoly and blockout. The only things i'd say are for the blockout, the area where the human and animal half meet does look kinda weird and that you might want to define the deltoids on the animal half a bit more. Also whats your process by the way. Are you only using zbrush, using… -
Re: New to Sculpting: Mudbox or Zbrush?
As far as I know, one of the biggest differences with Mudbox is that ZBrush lets you create a base mesh from scratch (with zspheres, dynamesh, shadowbox, zmodeler...) so, in other words, you can build an entire project from start to finish without involve a traditional 3D package like Max or Maya. Like Polyhertz said,… -
Re: Futuristic-fantasy knight
If you're doing hard surface in Zbrush then I would make extensive use of the clipping brushes and the "mask and extract" techniques. Personally I would just sub d model the armor in Max then send it to Zbrush for detailing. If you're doing it all in Zbrush then I would roughly sketch out the armor with dynamesh then mask… -
Re: Can we use Triangles in Game Props ??
Jusst to answer the thread title. Yes. Depends on how you are going to use the model. If you arnt going to use subdivision on the model and you are exporting it to an app like zbrush, where you will do a high rez dynamesh for polishing, you can have any configuration you like. If you are making a model for baking its a… -
Re: Joopson - Stanley No. 9 1/4 (and maybe more)
Thanks Kanni! Here's a small update to the highpoly. Important takeaways: * hPolish can't fix all my problems * Dynamesh can fix many problems. * Don't look too closely, if it won't be visible in the final I think this is more or less the final high. Gotta get the low and texture done by the 8th (the end of the 8th, or… -
Re: Maya 2013 has been Announced! ( as well )
Well Mudbox doesn't really have any modeling tools, no dynamesh/zpheres/grouploops/etc. equivalents at all. I read once that AD didn't want to add anything that would potentially take away from their users need to rely on traditional modeling apps like Max/Maya. A 3D Mouse is one of these: http://www.3dconnexion.com/ Some… -
Re: Fusion -> Max normals artefacts
Also you can always export a hi poly model and transfer/ borrow normal directions from it. I do so with model copy dynameshed in Zbrush to tiny polygons. Max doesn't have a native tool for normals transfer but there are 3d party scripts starting with normal theft . Or you can always do it with data transfer in Blender… -
Stylized hair & facial hair - feedback wanted!
Hi! I haven't been sculpting for some time, so I picked it up again recently. I'm practicing stylized hair and I wanted to get some feedback on this piece. I wanted it to have a bit of a mysterious vibe with the eccentric mustache and curls in the hair, it was inspired by some gentleman in victorian clothing I saw on the…
