When and at what point to use HD Geo

[jontz71]

hey guys,

i’ve battled this with my gorilla sculpt before but find myself in similar territory with this creature sculpt.

see images attached. so i made my base forms with Dyna mesh at 128 resolution. Slowly bring it up to 400 and then doing a Zremesh with guides and polypaint for density.

i’ve currently got 4 Sub division levels on the zremeshed subtool. at the highest level it is 2.2 mil polys but i still see “faceting” in the Geo until i enable HD Geo bringing the subtool to 4 mil polys.

is this the proper and best practices method to continue ?

would i finally when ready to finalize this guys, duplicate tool, zremesh again and project the details for a faster keyshot or c4d 3d app workflow ?

faceting isn’t an issue really. Zbrush doesn’t have a way to display averaged normals when you’re working. In any other application or during renders in Zbrush you won’t see those issues. I have used HDGeo a total of two times. Once to see how it worked, the other to see how it was updated. That’s it.
