Subdivision Edgeloop Hybrid Modeling

ZBrush Artworks
#1

I’ve just fineshed a quick head modeling study within ZBrush & it was blindingly fast! ok so there’s no ears, its just an experiment! I created my head template within truespace then exported it as .obj

  • i created a basic head mesh of 422 faces (No. of faces not Important) using edgeloops to lay down important detail areas

  • you may notice nonstandard faces, this is sorted by a quick subdivide (i used only one instance of subdivision)

  • after importing the template into ZBrush i gave shape to the head in the usual way

when i give it some ears (i hate ears!) i’ll make the template available people want it or find it usfull.

This is my first WIP on the forum & my first New Topic!

hi equalizer, nice head. there is also a method to get edgeloops with zbrush. developped by grub. and your ears are attached in one modeling session. i use that every time i model a head. very fast…

I checked out grubs tutorial it’s excellent, I gave up on my own zsphere experiment too early it seems I didn’t keep my zshphere model so simple doh!

I checked out those all your gallerys
The standard is incredibly high!

Mahlikus I cant wait to see more of The Mahtopia Project.
:cool:

:slight_smile: hello Equalizer… there is something i really don’t understand in this question of low poly! as the joined pict, if i begin modelling in low poly, ok, that works, but as soon as in want to have a smooth finish,(from 1 to 2) i must divide and come back to heavy models! how do you go to nice smooth models, staying in low poly? … thanks for explanation! friendly M[

Marced , I hope I can help out here

In the Modifiers Tab of your tool next to Smooth (which is set to 0 standard , hopefully 1 by you) there is another thingie Divide too which is set to 3 standard I think , Set it to 6 or 8 and it should be smoothed without you dividing it manually with the divide and smooth buttons.
