Hey all!
As part of a larger project I’m working on, I wanted to share the hipoly model I made.
This is based off a concept by the amazing Tooth Wu. My final plan is to retopo the model and unlit handpaint the entire character ( think Arcane, WOW, LOL )
Thanks for the eyes!
Looks awesome. Are you going to use the new retopo brush for the retopologize part.
Excellent work, everything is done very elegantly and looks very beautiful, thank you!
I already did!. Most of this is zmodeler and/or retopo brush with reprojection so I could easily get to a lower tricount for the final lowpoly
That’s great. If you can share images of the retopo, would love to see it.
Sure thing! Heres a few shots of the areas that have been either retopoed or zmodeled from start. I’ve got a few areas where I had to dynamesh again to get the topology needed for final detailing
Thank you for putting these images up. Exciting to see new topology from the new retopo brush and ZModeler. 
I’ve already nominated for Staff Pick.
Oh wow! Thanks a ton Paul! Checks in the mail 
Hey all!
Managed to wrap up the lowpoly, UVs and bakes
Current tri-count is 140k and I’m using a UDIM workflow with 16 2k tiles ( totaling to an 8K texture size )
Excited to get going into texturing soon!
Hey all!
Back again with an update on this fella. Also big thanks @PixoPaul for the TopRow!
This piece is part of a larger tutorial series im building that covers full sculpting all the way to final lowpoly handpainted textures
As part of my workflow I handpaint the character in greyscale and this can be the most time consuming part.
so heres where I’m currently at. A lot of time and effort here to get the greyscale to this stage. Next step is to colorize and do the final color pass!
Congratulations on being selected to Top Row @wreid. Excited to keep seeing the updates to this piece.
Finally finished the color pass on this fella!
Easily the biggest handpainting project ive ever taken on!
