You planning on making a full model of the marine psi? Great video.

@NathanKRobinson : Not sure yet, but I am gonna make a few bits at least...

great tutorial. thanks

[3DGameResources]

@wisdomprophet777 : You're welcome.

now a space marine helmet ;)

[3DGameResources]

@lordofthecubes : One thing at a time ;-) gonna continue this a little further to the painted version then I will probably make a helmet or a bolter...

so how do you join the two poly's together so that they're one poly, is there a Boolean tool for unifying them?

[EvilKris]

@AngriestAmerican

Zbrush can switch between low and high poly's. The Shadowbox has a setting above it (it's part of the ReMesh All function) in which you can set the resolution of the poly's.eg- if you want a 64 poly shape you can set it to x8 res.

Later on you can then subdivide it multiple times and still keep the original shape as a low-poly mesh which will alter shape based on your high poly modifications. You can also retopologise in Zbrush pretty easily and reduce poly's using remeshALL.

Wow! Great modelling!!

I have a question, maybe you can help me understand.

How do you make a mesh in ZB and then use it in LW. Isn't there a HIGH poly count in the ZB model?

I did at one time make a model in LW then import it into ZB, then detailed it, used the Displacement mapping, but it lost detail in LW. I wasn't to impressed so I stopped using ZB.

I see some incredible models made in ZB, but how feasible is it to use the models in programs like LW, where the polycount matters.
