One of the best topics on ZBC. Grab to my inspiration folder 
Thank you guys for your works and comments!!!
Hi Guys
What software did you use to generate your normal, ao and cavity maps. They look soo god damn crisp.
Wow thank you for the inspiration bomb. You guys are really pushing the boundaries further and further everyday, and for that I applaud you all!
We can all learn a great deal from these images. Keep it up you savages!
Hi!
We use Max to generate the normal maps in the scanline renderer. The supersampling feature smooths things out well too. The AO is made in Mental Ray (Xnormal at times as well), with a spread of 1.5-6, with the darkest going to a medium grey usually.
P.S. I forgot to add this one as well!

How do you guys make the threads in the high poly models? They look like seperate subtools or objects to the main character assets. They are very nice and evenly spaces.
It would also be really cool to see some more Zbrush tips or tricks you guys use when detailing your high poly models. The high poly models are just amazing.
Also Great work and thanks a bunch for sharing so much insight into the making of.
Yeah, geat, great, great +10x more. Please scale down your images so we can see it without scrolling.
I can understand you like to show the phototextures you used, but I like to have a clean view of the nice image you made.
More to tell, itās lateā¦
So is this by far the great thread ever created on Zbrush Central? This is just down right disgusting how much Epic is putting up. Thank you soooooo much, everyone at Epic for not only creating this work but actually allowing you to post a good portion of your process on a public forum. This is just soo amazing and it benefits so many people now and far into the future.
THANK YOU!
I was wondering what size texture(s) you guys use for these characters? I would seem a shame that, with all of the modelās details, that they only get one 2048 texture in each channel in the end. I kinda suspect that that is the case though.
wow !!! asewome works !! love details !
O-M-G

From me 5 stars!
