First steps with Zbrush

[Ivars]

Wohoo! Finally!
I´ve been sitting on this software for almost a year and have never taken the time to actually do something with it. This is my second model (did some shapeless blob aswell :) ) and obviously it has alot of flaws. Like I didn´t plan for the ears, so the topology wouldn´t really let me make them without using 3 or 4 million faces.... and his neck, doesn´t look right. Still so much to learn... :D

Big thanks to moebius for being so helpfull!

Its a nice earless head....with some planning i'm sure you can make a good solid head with all the right bodyparts :cool:

Your first step was a big step! I like to see your next, good work!

THank you guys.

Here´s my second step :) He´s got ears!!
Still gotta figure out how to render in Zbrush. Maya couldn´t load my highest subd-level, so I lost a little detail.

Well, it´s a bit messed up in several places.

Take some time to research displacement maps -- you don't want to animate ultra-high poly meshes directly...

(since you're using Maya, everything here (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/mme02.html) should be directly applicable, or you can search through countless posts on the subject here)
