@akadotseven wow...amazing workflow in low poly mode....I would NEVER have thought to start with the hands in that last video and in this one I would never have thought to make the eye seperate only to drag it in through welding edges together O.O

And did you paint the reference?

[new2lw]

Are you modeling the entire model from the one reference image?

[akadotseven]

I really mix it up. Sometimes I start in Zbrush but I usually end up surfacing the mesh later either in zbrush or modo. I love using my tools. Modo is great for edge modeling but zbrush is not too restrictive in how quickly you can get a detailed mesh. I can create a model from start to finish in zbrush but again, it usually depends on my mood.

great modeling skills and imagination! What's your workflow? Do you usually start like this? I like starting with poly modeling too, but I see a growing number of people start in zbrush with zspheres or whatever, then retopologize.

What do you think?
