Learning : Zbrush to max and full manual retopology work on a high poly sculpt to get a good basemesh

in #art6 years ago (edited)

Well, i'm learning a few more things using Zbrush , mainly from my errors haha, because when you dynamesh your sculpt you loose lower resolution model and your base, in order to keep a reasonable amount of polys, for, let's say, animation or game purpose i had to bring back the 3 Million poly model from Zbrush to 3D max by decimating it a bit in the process and then, i could use the freeform tools of 3d studio max to redraw and simplify all the quads.

This was longer and more tedious than i ever anticipated it would be but in the process i learned a lot and i didn't knew you could basically draw 3D on higher / more complex models that aren't well optimized or have nice edge loops to make simplier models out of them...

So i'm down from 3 million polygons to 14.000 polys on this model, could go lower but most 8th gen characters ( ps4 - xbox one - etc ) go from 20.000 polys to 150.000 polys depending on the kind of game, so i'm fairly low in the polycount while keeping a lot of the detail i wanted for the anatomy of the character, after that i'll optimize and cut out parts when the character is clothed or armored / gets hairs and stuff of this nature.

I really like this type of design, mainly as you show the steps of its development. 3D work takes a lot of time and dedication to make every detail perfect. You have a good management of the anatomy, each of its parts is perfect and well defined. Be charming with your post. Greetings.

nice man, 3ds max has clunky retopo tools

on the side note the Topogun program is really intuative maybe you should try it :D?
