  • nice work!!!

    did you make everything in zbrush? or did you model everything first?

  • @dennisvolkerts

    Thanks man. I first modeled a base mesh in Maya and then took it into Zbrush for finer details. But my workflow is different now. Usually I make a very basic shape in Maya to bring into Zbrush. Then I change the proportions and get the main forms down inside Zbrush. When I'm satisfied with the main forms I take the sculpt into 3D Coat, where I retopologize the sculpt so I can have usable geometry. Then I export that low geometry to UV and use the high to get my normal map.

  • @RyanTaylor3D

    so you are not sculpting with symmetry?

    And why are you not using retopologize inside zbrush?

  • @dennisvolkerts

    I start sculpting with symmetry on to get the forms correct and then go back over top of that without symmetry to add some realism in.

    I find 3d Coat much faster than Zbrush's retopo tools. It's the fastest i've found. Even faster than Topo Gun or the Nex plug-in for Maya. Maybe I'll do a quick tutorial/ demo on it.

  • Awesome work!

    Can you texturerize the crocodile and then render? I need a new FullHD Wallpaper :D

  • @StarEtaCarinae Thanks. Nah this asset is so old. I really want nothing more to do with it. I can render a full HD shot of the current one for you if you want, however.

see all
