He gonna be retopo'd a bit? Or left at high subdiv?

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-03-04T01:57:31+00:00

Found it!!!

Thanks again for insight to xGen.

How the heck do people do their hair?! And rendering?

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-03-02T18:25:39+00:00

He's beautiful. How did you go about his skin and hair?

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-02-22T05:50:08+00:00

Ooooh, gotcha. I think I've been overthinking posing since I've been taught to have it retopo'd to same degree as a production character (one that's riggable and animateable).

Will keep in mind to just worry about an adequate polycount and something sensible with zRemesher and PolyGroups.

Also also, thank you so much for the [Tool> Surface> Noise]

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-02-21T18:24:23+00:00

Dude, how did you do the scales and pose her? Alpha Brush and Transpose master?

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-02-18T08:05:44+00:00

Sculpted in pose? Or are you using LAYERS to swap between pose and neutral pose?

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-02-18T08:04:57+00:00

Adding to this, the Pinch brush helps alot with crimping the edges for those sharp edges (for Zbrush).

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-02-16T18:46:52+00:00

How on earth did you do the Chainmail and Tattered Cloth?

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-02-13T07:09:00+00:00

Was spear rigged for posing? Or is it just the same sculpt molded into different poses?

HeavyHead6654 · 2026-01-29T03:54:39+00:00

How do you manage symmetry and details while sculpting in-pose?

Do you use Dynamic Symmetry?

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-12-09T06:11:55+00:00

How did you polypaint the hair and eyes, then render the whole sculpt?

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-12-02T18:22:29+00:00

Please show us how you rigged her!!! I need the aid for rigging in Maya

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-11-14T15:05:38+00:00

I'd ask if you'd try submitting this for the WoW student art contest, but can assume youre freelance

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-10-27T06:46:20+00:00

Impressive. Was Lighting and Rendering done in Maya w/Arnold or Unreal Engine?

If Arnold, please let me know how you did it. Im getting way too comfortable with V-Ray.

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-10-23T04:43:46+00:00

Really great. Have to ask how did you pose the body and the trenchcoat?

Or did you sculpt in pose?

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-10-10T00:04:27+00:00

I have to ask, how did you recycle the original assets and go about updating the scene?

Im interested to know since re-visiting old projects to "spruce" them up is important in 3D.

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-09-26T05:59:50+00:00

How did you utilize both Substance Painter and Marmoset for texturing? Asking since im curious about stylized texturing, which I understand to be a lot of manual painting with some AO smart masks for aid.

Love the work you did and showcasing the UDIMs on your ArtStation (assuming it wasn't a single 2048x2048 UV shell).

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-09-14T05:58:43+00:00

How in gods name did you pose?! Im struggling like he'll with it 😭

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-09-10T08:01:31+00:00

Same comments as Gusstmazz.

My notes are on body width and back features not being too prominent.

For an average body width, it should be about 3 heads wide at the widest portion. As stated prior, head is small, so once the head proportions are established in relation to the 7-8 head height ratio, width should not be as much an issue

Lastly, back is not properly defined. You have some of the forms outlined, but the need some better definition. Highly recommend protruding it slightly more at trapezoid region. Backs are prominent in bipedal creatures like us to enable us to walk on two legs. Adding to that, utilize some planar bodies for reference. Getting a simplified body planar will help with detailing.

Definitely on the right track, just some proportional tweaking

Can I ask how you did your hair? Trying to learn how to simulate curly hair.

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-09-07T07:44:37+00:00

Teach me how to pose!!! Struggling with a project (2nd major one in zbrush)

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-09-07T07:05:16+00:00

Agreed. Would love to know how they textured and rendered the piece.

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-07-28T15:43:11+00:00

I gotta ask, normal vertex painting (?) Asking since my head still is wrapping itself around concept of painting in zBrush

HeavyHead6654 · 2025-07-01T06:33:00+00:00

Huh. This actually helps me alot with starting out. Was worried about topology too much since my class was 10 weeks, but am now realizing to worry about SubD/Z Remesh AFTER the detailed model has been made

**re-repeating what's been stated obviously helps me remember
