COURSE PROJECTS
We will start by customizing our Zbrush so we can work much faster and efficiently. Then we’ll use our ZSphere to block out the basic skeleton. Then after our proportions are in place we’ll start blocking our muscles. Then we will sculpt the skin & fat layer on top(without the fine details yet). After that we will do a quick zremesher on our model using polygroups & guides, this is not to say our model will be game ready, it’s just for us to get decent typology(Manual retopology is always recommended). We’ll then sculpt a stand for our animal to help best present our art for our portfolio & model the eyes. Then we’ll do quick UV’s in ZBrush(Again not production ready).Then we’ll pose our animal to a specific dynamic pose. Then we’ll sculpt some fine details(We’ll not be too concerned about the animal as it will be covered in fur). Then we’ll polypaint our sculpts using ZBrush spotlight (which we’ll also serve as guides for our groom). We’ll use the multimap exporter to export the required maps & files for maya. Then we’ll groom our animal in maya xgen then set up a quick scene for our renders with MtoA. Then lastly we’ll do some quick color correction for our render in Photoshop.
