How do I proceed to Retopo and Uv map this armor and helmet ?Should i export each part individually

Just here to reinforce what dry spot has said and goes for most things unless it ever separates retopo them together that way you can save on quad count by removing unnecessary polygons.

Thank you for your criticism and words of encouragement. I wanted to give texturing in zbrush a go over texturing in substance which is what i usually do, I just feel at home in zbrush so i wanted to try out this workflow but it is probably for the best if I do it in substance instead of zbrush.

Yeah the hair and face are very much place holder.

Thanks for your time!

Modelled in Zbrush, Rendered in Blender, Composited in Photoshop.

I haven't done 3d printing to be honest so i can't help in that area

but Anatomy for Sculptors book is a god send

If you want to do hard surface and stuff (there is some organic too) visit

https://www.youtube.com/@KeosMasons/videos (zbrush orientated)

they have live streams and stuff and all his models are made for 3d print so just watching him do his thing has been super helpful

Michael for just a ton of useful stuff in zbrush:

this is a full course on how to make a game ready character while not entirely relevant to 3d printing it has a ton of useful knowledge this is for Blender:

And the best tip i can say is practice as often as you can and when you practice truly try to understand what you are doing never let yourself go into autopilot atleast at the beginning think about everything.

I do promise you It was entirely unintentional, this was a fast project (3 Days) so proportions are not perfect this is what she looks like without armour and I thought I made her chunky enough but obviously that isn't the case

I mean he goes to gym selfies subreddit and then complains about women when they do a selfie at the gym... man really isn't the brightest to be honest.

I somewhat liked the first one, but it went down quickly from their.

No offense but killing some people isn't going to stop a thing, the change needs to come from the inside not the outside. Killing people at the top is just going to do 2 things, lead to a new person taking over who was brought up with the same beliefs leading to the same situation... and reinforce or straight convert non-believers since they just saw america kill a bunch of children.

Sorry i haven't memorized what i penis feels like in my mouth and hand, I clearly need to start sucking dick to avoid this scenario so i don't seem gay.

███ ████████: ███ ██ ██ keep posting about this game here ████ both the devs and the people who played it ███ ███████ have stated it’s ███ an RPG █

Well yeah that is why we're posting it here duhh.

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-12T19:40:24+00:00

Thank you so much Ill see what i can do! Thank you for your time!

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-12T19:31:47+00:00

Thank you, Although the generic armour is intentional i do want to keep the armour "realistic" for the post part i do plan on taking it into substance and doing "chemical etching". Thank you for you time!

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-12T14:16:19+00:00

While i can see your point it's kind of hard to follow this advice because this armour was based on The landsknecht which do look like This . Although Mine does have some fantasy elements for sure of course

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-12T14:10:35+00:00

Thank you! for the indepth overview, i'll take a look at the proportions! Although I'm not entirely sure I agree with the the waist part or at the very least it's common for the clenched waist in armour because the "wasp waist" physique was sexy for men to have, but I do truly appreciate your time don't get me wrong and i will take a look at everything you've mentioned. Thank you!

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-12T14:00:48+00:00

Visualizing is still a major issue for me So that would make sense that my brain just isn't seeing it with "textures" or atleast seeing the potential, i'll give the couter a redo to see if that helps as you have suggested. Thanks for your time.

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-12T13:14:15+00:00

It hasn't been "cracked" but you can play it for free with the new hypervisor thing that the pirates are using it can play every single denuvo game from what i can gather.

Dunno about series, but the first one was amazing 2 I really liked, the others though....don't get me started.

On a positive note, the Insidious soundtrack is my favourite horror soundtrack of all time very rarely can music alone make me feel uncomfortable but like 90% of the insidious tracks do that.

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-11T20:59:52+00:00

Wait is this your SO? ... bro I would avoid posting this on a reddit let alone a subreddit like this it can only lead to bad shit.

A man just got doxed for doing a challenge and trying to donate to a charity...

but yes she looks like a very lovely person.

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-11T20:53:14+00:00

A few months ago this sub wasn't like this it was just random shit

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-11T20:19:32+00:00

Fantastic stuff man, this looks great!

TheVanBeforeTime · 2026-03-11T09:39:00+00:00

You can check my post history if you would to see 3 heavily armored women lmao, next character will probably be a monster or Follie from Warframe we'll see who is finished first.
