Inspiring stuff all around.

Yeah, you have some nice tricks indeed to teach us!
I’m curios to see more of your workflow and use of brushes…

Best part is, you just say it’s a long work that needs patience, sometimes we think there is a trick to make it easy, but the secret is, it’s just a lot of hard work!

Oh man, thanks, sitting a full 3" higher in my chair now, /begin obsessive scoping of posted materials
you gotta be kidding with the hard edge stuff, so good
A friend and I have been trying to figure out ways to make accurate
piping around edges and such for hard edge.
Balls. that is what Im doing which means I really really still suck at it
but with patience there is at least a chance.:wink:
Thanks for taking the time to post such a thorough response.:+1:
(and I’m glad too its not one of those “oh I sharted this out over lunch” responses):smiley:

Congrats and awesome work, Joe! I’ve been trying to figure out how you did some of that hard surface sculpting for awhile now (in fact, I was just trying to to accomplish something similar to what you described - but nowhere near what you achieved), wishing I could still just go over to your desk. Thanks for the video! I will have to study it.

Insane models man. was a real treat to see. Love them all.

Could you give a break down of how you go from a high poly zbrush model to a lowpoly game model.

I normally use topogun to retopo my initial sketch and fix up in 3d max and uv map then bring it over ZB to highres sculpt finer details but when I sudivide that mesh in zbrush it destroys (stretchs out my edge loops) my low poly model. In 3d max it subdivides fine with turbo smooth. I guess the main problem is i want to us my good lowpoly I made in max with maps(displacement or normal) generated from the ZB high poly. The ZB high poly always seems to have a different silhouette than a turbo smoothed mesh from 3ds max so even using xnormal gives strange results due to the different silhouettes.

Sorry for harping on but its something I cant get my head around.
