Hello Guys, it's been a while since my last post here. i'm posting a few models i've been working on. I'm not sure if i'll finish it, but I decided to share it.
Basemesh was created with zsphere, sculping in zbrush, Retopology in 3d max, and detailing in zbrush.

In this one I did the base model with zphere of the first toy which was used for the others charaters. I Also worked on Master shading/lighting.

1. I wanted to know (for clarification) you used zbrush as a base for all these models? and then you retopologized all of them? and was dynamesh used.

2. Did you use the same base mesh and modify them for each character or did you always start from scratch when building the zpheres?

3. Do you have zsphere images to share with us? I'm curious to see the armature of the zsphere setup...

Especially the first image and the King of FIghter Character Image ( Isn't that the game I'm thinking of?)


I know its a lot of questions but I had to ask.
Would love to see how you went about the images.
Thanks..

Hello Selah
Yes, i usually start each character from a new Zsphere.. I think Zsphere is really helpfull on finding proportions.
For the retopoly i use Graphite modeling tool from 3d max, really powerfull tools!
I'll prepare a better material and post here asap.
