Thankyou Frank!! :+1:

Thank you for sharing !!:sunglasses:

Really nice work!
I just wanted to say that this can be done in ZBrush.
I know though, GoZ to your favorite app to work in is wonderful.
But my not-so-fast machine begs me to stay in ZBrush. Besides,
I like it that way.
So, I made a quick video show how. I use the skin option in the topology
menu as well as removing the creasing, smoothing, grow/shrink visible, and edge looping. Hope this helps.

Once again, wicked armor.
Gives me ideas for detailing my Paddle boat, which has been long overdue.

thanks for your reply. That’s impressive you say the native hair renderer in the new maya is good, i would’ve thought you’d had to go and use shave and haircut to do any good quality hair renders in maya, since most great hair cg i’ve seen so far had all been inside max and it’s max plugins.

Hi, Frank,
I sent you a private message. Pleas check your mailbox. Thank you.

@ digitalmind really sorry for the late reply, i kinda missed your question, anyways you can find the retopo tool at “Topology” on the right hand side, but in order to use that you need to append a zsphere in your sub tool first.

@ Sparky3d, wizzie14u, 3D-User, pappete, ROXE, cltax your welcome guys!!

@ Mahlikus The Black Thanks a lot for the information :slight_smile:

@ KonginChains Maybe Thats just me, i just feel have more control in maya then the hair and fur in max (just for the hair!!! ) :wink:

lol the textured version, hahahahahaha

Nice character, love the colors and attitude.
Im not sure about all the wrinkles though.
It makes it look half realistic, half cartoony, but nothing really 100%

IMHO I would go for a much more cartoony look, pixar style, less “lethery” skin if it makes sense. I think it would fit the character better. But that’s very personnal I guess
Hope it helps :slight_smile:

You are welcome!
Looking good with some color.
I saw black and gold in my head.
Liking the Red and Silver!

:+1:

great model, he sure has some spirit:+1: but i have to agree with bohemond about the wrinkles.

Color version looks amazing, I love the concept work. Such a great character.
