The Magdalena | Comicon -09

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Heya! I saw some of the comicon entries in here so I thought I’d post mine aswell. I obviously used Zbrush to create the highres but this time I used it more as a tool and didn’t care about creating a presentable zbrush model.

I allso went back into Zbrush with the lowres when I’d started texturing and completely changed proportions and the general shape of the face to make her look more feminine.
The Idea of resculpting the lowres never occured to me before but it was a really good and efficient way of going over the overall proportions, as long as you keep the textures and eventual stretching in mind.

The character itself is based on The Magdalena from the Top Cow universe and was created for the Comicon Challenge.

Anywayz, on to the pics. I’ll post some more of the highres when I get back home and if there’s any interest in seeing it [<img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/upload/atn.gif”>](http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/faq.php?faq=vb_read_and_post#faq_zbc_display_images)

Hy Kotter. Very nice model , I like the detail and I totaly understand what u say about using zbrush in pipeline for ingame character of for lowrez version, perhaps I have one comment about your texure, it seems to me your spec map is to flat and all materials bounce lite with the same intencity, like the metal armour should be more shinyer and defined. BUt again the overall result is great you still have great texturing and modeling skills I admit :wink:

I love this design, with the exception of the high heeled boots. I know it’s a fantasy genre thing, but I just can’t wrap my mind around someone fighting in those. They do look nice though. Excellent work.

thanx guys (and gal) for the kind words.

Rasmus: since you’re from copenhagen I’m assuming you’re talking about the animator? (There’s five Magnus’ at Massive atm… atleast that I know :smiley: )

Intervain: It’s a nice name. Grats! :+1:

Totyo: I’m adding some zbrush stuff for ya. As you can see it’s sloppy and not verry impressing but it did what it was supposed :slight_smile:

Aliasfx: I struggeled alot with the spec to give it more contrast but since I have a high ambience in the material the spec didn’t get alot of room to work it’s magic. I tried to use a specular sharpness map but couldn’t get it to work properly in maya and dropped it because I’m lazy :laughing:

nimajneb: credit for the design goes to Top Cow allthough I did alter it in some ways. I know what you mean about the high heels but I think she can manage :slight_smile:
