MINI TUTORIAL______

I’d work on the textures and thought if was possible to use some map from zbrush to get a volume for the models.

Exist two kinds of normal map that we can to generate on zbrush, (if exist another, please let me know:p ) the first is the “tangent space normal” and the other is " world - space". The last one " W-S" is the guy.

After to generate that map, you just open on the PS and see the 'channel palette" you’ll see 3 channel, of course, RGB:D .

Get the green channel and use it as volume, You just need to change the color blend to multiply or overlay as well.

If you adjust the contrast and brigthness maybe you’ll be able to get a “fake Ambient Occlusion”:roll_eyes:

Please see it and let me know waht you all think

#22

Hmm, any reason why its the green channel? I usually just convert the normal map to greyscale and I get a nice result. But with this, it looks more like shadows, so I guess its good for low-poly stuff

#23

Joopson - Hi buddy!

So, I’d like you said, please check this tutorial that I’ve made at 3dtotal.com link. But I think that the green channel is better, look this pi c and tell me what you think.

About the shadows with some adjustments with curves and levels you can get a good result.

#24

Green channel gives up to down shadows to your color map. In my opinion there’s always better to have no directional shadow information baked into texture and that’s because i prefer to use ambient occlusion to tune up colour map. Unfortunetly there’s no possibility to bake ao in zmapper so i often use free xNormal(it’s photoshop filter) to generate cavity map from normal. There’s a few method and some of them gives you results similar to ao.

#25

Simply awesome stuff… I really like the marine character and the expression you got on him, very nice studies… got a lot going on the face…

I love how the Pitt character turned out. Can you tell about the lighting setup you did for the character? Thanks.

#26

Tomala- Hi Dude, I agree with you. I usually I work with occlusion together with this map, off course doing necessary adjustments like I said before. About the xnormal, it’s great software, I hope in the next version of Zbrush we have this feature. Thx dude.

Smooth_Criminal - Hey dude, how are you? ABout the light setup, I just made a quick render with final gather and two spots on 3dsmax. Thanks for your comment dude.

Some beautiful work here! The only thing that stood out to me was the Thing’s legs: They look too thin and spread apart compared to the rest of his body.
Thanks for sharing your zsphere/retopology images, and for the tutorial. :+1:

Very nice to see such wonderful characters and derived from zsphere bases as well! I think they are are all cool, even if that’s not my favorite design of ‘The Thing’. :wink:

I do hope this encourages many more people to explore the capable tools in Zbrush…

It’s my last job that I made in the last night with zsphere.

I spent about 4 hours until now. Today when I’ll go my home, I hope to finish the modelling and later to do a render with renderman. I’ve made a video with timelapse of this model and I’ll post here soon
