It has been a while since I got time for some zbrush fun. Hoping there will be more time Had a day or two for this sculpt tried out some techniques I have been seeing lately, that helps to speed up the end concept/look

I've been working on this armor in Zbrush. Now I want to create a game mesh of it. Now I need some tips. What I did so far is create several parts for animation later. So the shoulders are not attached and so on, the body armor is one piece. However the armor is build up in several dynamesh pieces. I am having trouble to get the projection right so I figured I need to devide the pieces and make lo res meshes for all the parts but I am not sure if that is desirable for use in game. What is the best workflow? Tips are welcome.

@Boatdudeguy - Thanks for the kind words. Just keep at it, you'll get there. A comision for a jeweller client, for a doglover customer of his. It's gonna be a pendandt bout 20 mm tall. Not sure how it's gonna be fixed to the chain, i was only asked to do the center piece. C&c welcome. Enjoy.

Hi,everyone.This is my lastest work which I also feel good about it .So, share it then get my rest back.ha.Original paintings by Jie Feng,thanks you.Hope you like it. My job is not about 3d right now.I hope I can have a chance to get a job about 3d . If someone like me,please contact me. Email: huangjie1984@126.com

Thanks for the kind replies! Actually, on the last one, i`m working now on the textures (it is a waist up piece) based on this concept below (except for the face, and i give a breast reduction also xD) Will post some wips after I dont know who did this one, i apologize to the artist for not giving the credits. cheers!

Hey guys, my name's Charchit, I am 21 years old and from India. I am currently pursuing my graduation in 3D Animation and VFX. I have just started with 3d sculpting and wanted to share my work and progress with the community. This my 2nd attempt at sculpting something. I am trying to learn the human anatomy to begin with. Critics and comments are most welcome

So I've got a bunch of freelance work that I've been cranking on. Its some large 1/4 scale stuff (meaning the figures will be about 18 inches tall when complete). The client needs these done in wax. So I figured I'd skin several cats at the same time. I bought myself a cheap Airwolf filament extruder printer. So what I'm doing is sculpting in zbrush, dynameshing the final sculpt (a quick dirty way to create a single printable shell from several merged subtools.) Then decimating and exporting. Then I bring the stl in to Netfabb and scale it and fix bad edges and fill holes. From there I export the fixed stl to MatterControl. This is open source software used to slice up the the sculpt and create printable layers. From there it goes to the printer. Once the print is complete I make a silicone mold and cast it in wax. Because these printers are relatively low res the wax will need to be cleaned up. Which of course is where my traditional sculpting skills come in. It may seem like a slightly backwards way to work, but its actually a great of saving time in the end because implementing zbrush in the work flow allows me to cut my sculpting time in half. Especially when working on these huge sculptures. This particular piece is a print of my Daenerys head. Its was done as a trial. I was happy with the results. It's about 90mm in height. I'm sure I can achieve better results by tweaking some things with the printer. these were the stock settings..
