Girl from Ipanema (WIP)

ZBrush Artworks
#1

This piece is based on a song called Girl from Ipanema by Tom Jobim, and I love both the Portuguese and English versions. It took me a little more than one week and I used Maya and mostly Zbrush. I wanted to give girl the looks described on the song, effortlessly beautiful and with a light and elegant walk. I also tried to give her some facial features of the Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen, that popped up in my mind whenever I tried to picture the girl on the song.

This is really beautiful work man! You said you used Maya some–at what stages? Did you do the original geometry in Maya or ZSpheres?

One thing that always confuses me is how clothing, armor, or in this case, purses, work during animation! How do they not end up intersecting with the geometry… do you have any plans to animate this model?

thanks guys :slight_smile:

@AndrewJarvis I used some maya in the very first stage, on the base mesh. I found a woman’s base mesh online somewhere (I’d love to credit the author but it was a couple of years ago… I really have no idea where i found it :confused: ). The mesh was a little odd, upside down, I fixed some triangles and some points with too many edges that tend to become lumps when you subdivide the mesh. After that was all zbrush

the hair was made with zspheres; the top and earings are rings; eyes are spheres; purse is a good cube (not the zbrush one, a regular one with no triangles), some rings, cylinders and a extracted plane for the strap; the glasses and sandals I made with a plane, moved vertexes, extracted the plane, and used some insert edge loop to finish the glasses frame; and finally the shorts are extract from the base mesh and two rings.

When I use extract in zb is allways in the basemesh, with surface/edge smoothnes set to 0, more like a shell modifier in max, or an ‘extrude all faces’ in maya. I like to keep the lowest subdivision level as low polycount as I can, because it makes sculpting a lot easier.
