Re: HOW DO YOU BAKE DIFFUSE MAPS?
It's not only old as far as zbrush is concerned, but as far as xnormal goes too; XNormal can now read vertex colors, which I find to be even better as the older method can lead to distortions and larger file sizes. Instead just export your OBJ with polypaint turned on (no UVs or texture needed), and in xnormal use the… -
Re: Character from "Y the Last Man" (wip)
Holy cow this week has been hectic. But now I'm back with an update. I had an update last week but didn't have time to post it. I had retoped, and got a low poly, and started polypainting. I had started to bake out maps last week but after critique from my class I spent a little more time polypainting and detail sculpting.… -
Re: ProUV - UV plugin for zbrush
Would be awesome if it could do this, but it doesn it gives you pretty bad chunks, tht are not usable for final products, thats where i agree to RenderHJS. But however what it does, is giving you better uvs then the premade ones, which is great especially if you have polypainted stuff and want to transfer your polypaint to… -
Re: Small Zbrush artifacts on mesh - Problem with baking further on?
Its hard to see since they are small. Are these missing polygons, or just shaded differently? If it's the latter, it could just be a different material accidentally being painted in. Two quick ways to tell if this is the case: 1. Turn off polypaint (Tool: Polypaint: Colorize, or the paintbrush icon next to the subtool's… -
Re: UDK - Tristram Tunnels Test
I wanted to start the first breakdown with the prop that I started this whole project with. The floor bricks. No two props were created exactly the same way, but there is a definite flow on how I work the asset through the pipeline. Here is a little visual aid to explain how I went about creating the floor bricks.… -
Re: Tree-Lighthouse - Hand-painted Environment
@Liamodearme It's a mix between high poly modeling in Zbrush and hand-painting in Photoshop. It depends on the assets. Sometimes I find it quicker to paint in Photoshop but more often than not, I use Zbrush to polypaint. For instance, for the rocks, 1) after some crappy sculpting, I use polypaint to put a first layer of… -
Re: best too to paint over a model?
painting in Zbrush is great and awful at the same time. "...I dont even know how to import a texture and paint over ufff...!!!..." for using images in your texture work it's fastest to use the Spotlight feature check out youtube for tutorials it gives you the option to manipulate your images before projecting them... bit… -
Re: Hired based off of certain software knowledge?
Just curious though, are there in house employees who use ZBrush for texturing or substance is a must? So, I saw these videos of polypaint in zbrush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ONLg_gC1tE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwB754lJ_Sc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0iiZRVgy9o These are basically substance painter and… -
Re: How low can I go on my polycount without losing details when baking?
I think there's a little confusion here - your low poly could be 500 triangles and look good with baked normal and texture. I'm guessing in baking, your source is not the 10mil high poly, but the 10k? Or you're not baking textures, but projecting polypaint? Polypaint in Zbrush is practically vertex color, and if you don't… -
Re: Zbrush Dynamesh to Maya workflow?
You never polypaint the dynamesh. You retopo it, project the dynamesh to the retopoed mesh, make few adjustments and then when you are happy with it, polypaint it. Now if you are using xnormal, you need not export the GUV textures to the 3d modeling tool with the decimated mesh etc. You can just export the polypainted mesh…
