    Hey Holto! Thank you for your kind comments. However I'm rude as well sometimes , Peter and I have become good ZBC friends, at least that's my side and I don't hold anything against him.

    Cheers

    P.S. it's gonna be 2 years this may since I've started with Zbrush. I've grown very fond of the program by now.

    Better reference would definitely be better. I've repeated it, because the first time I thought there were sleeves included but weren't hehe

    Thanks!

    P.S. this is a brand new Gandalf sculpt as well.

    Hi girls and guys! Thanks for your kind comments.

    I will hopefully finish them both sooner than later
    I've created the chainmail with 3dsmax, but I'm regarding this version as a placeholder till I come around to simulating it hopefully, cause some streching occured in Zb when posing it with move brushes.

    The workflow in 3dsmax was very quick and simple: Created only two rings (very low poly torus) and positioned them, then copied them (shift+drag a certain amount of copies),
    When i had the chainmail strip I've attached it all to one editable poly and drew out a spline circle to which I've attached the chainmail with the pathdeform WSM modifier and then arranged it the way I wanted it. For the sleeves I've made a full circle, which I've then imported to Zbrush and made a couple of duplicates to encompass the arm. And for the "skirt" I've made the spline wider in max so it leaves the space in the middle.

    Hey Sparky, this is it. Just use a reference for interlocking the chain rings, I didn't for this.

    Then I've imported the mesh to Zbrush, duplicated it as much as I needed to cover the things that needed covering, make each portion a different polygroup so I can easily control them when i merge them and then adjusted with move brushes (move eleastic + regular move)

    This is the workflow I generally use for hardusrface. Zbrush sculpting, 3dcoat retopo, and 3dsmax refining.
