Monday Night Challenge: Mesh Modeling - Detailing a Head

Hey there,

Here is my entry. I remodeled the original OBJ in exactly 32 minutes. Hope you like it !
This is my very first finished modeling in Zbrush. I litteraly got the software two weeks ago and never got to get a model finished, so here it is !

First Post, First Zbrush model ever, what a great day ! :smiley:

Any comment welcome.

Later !

Thanks SolidSnakexxxā€¦:slight_smile: Iā€™m working strickly from my own imagination here, so if he resembles someone, I guess thatā€™s greatā€¦I donā€™t know.LOL :smiley: Iā€™m mostly just trying to figure out the workings of Z Brushā€¦a ton of stuff that I donā€™t know about in it yet, and havenā€™t tried yetā€¦but like I said earlier, iā€™m here to learn, and am doing so by studying alot of the fine works posted, tutorials, and classroom demoā€™sā€¦and also by participating in this challangeā€¦I just hope that iā€™m not posting too many images in here, if I am, somebody please let me knowā€¦I donā€™t want to burn any bridgesā€¦:grimacing:

Woody LWGā€¦Great start thereā€¦Amazing how you have captured the likeness at such an early stageā€¦:+1:

Thought I would lighten up this characters emotion a little, I got tired of seeing that anger.

Right you are SolidSnakexxx - very perceptive of you, and encouraging to know that the likeness is coming through even at this early stage. :smiley:

Here is a little update, slowly but surelyā€¦

Trying my hand at poly painting, and masking by cavity.
Just trying out things in Z Brush at this point in the process that are new to me.
Where iā€™m at now in this process is new to me, so lots of room and possabilities for taking it further iā€™m sure, but iā€™m not really sure how to get there at this point in my understanding and learned experience in Z Brush.
Any useful suggestions for improvements and taking it further would be much apreceated and welcomed.

Hi Spiritā€¦now Iā€™m hardly an expert, but a tip that I picked up from ZBrush Character Creation: Advanced Digital Sculpting by Scott Spencer that seems to look great when poly painting is to paint all the warm and cold spots on your face first using red and blue respectively. Really go crazy with it, because youā€™ll cover it up mostly with the skin tone laterā€¦what youā€™ll end up with is something that looks clown like. Then add yellow to areas where the bones are close to the skinā€¦then lay down your skin colourn with a low opacity and build it up.

Like I said, Iā€™m a beginner as well so Iā€™m not the best person to be taking advice from, but it sure does seem to do the trick. You can get fancy later with speckling and breaking up the consistency with white.

Good luck.

HEY .Thank Youā€¦JohNny 45ā€¦:+1:
I have Scott Spencerā€™s book Z Brush Character Creation Advanced Digital Sculpting and was just reading up on that section againā€¦I did what he said in my last post,ā€¦but went subtle with the colors to start with, when I should have overstated them to start withā€¦Oh well,ā€¦live and learnā€¦:smiley:
Really appreceate the feedback.

My entry. Just finished school so I should actually be able to finish something.

Thank you for the model.
I have found the time to toy with it in Zbrush 3.5r2
Today upon getting Zbrush 3.5r3 update I did a quick render and came up with this result.
