Duration: 1h 49m | Video: AVC (.mp4) 1280x720 15fps | Audio: AAC 32KHz 2ch | Level: Advanced | Language: English | 1.24 GB
Genre: eLearning

During this tutorial, we will build a game-res mesh from a high-res sculpt. We will then transfer the high-res detail so our game model looks as close as possible to our high-res character. We will start by retopologizing our character in 3D-Coat, then we will create UVs in 3D-Coat. Next, we will transfer all of the maps using TopoGun. Finally, we will view our final result in Marmoset Toolbag.

In this ZBrush tutorial we will learn how to create a scary creature with ZBrush - starting from the basic blocked-in meshes and finishing with high-res details and textures.
Throughout these lessons we will learn the key features to design a memorable and terrifying female monster within ZBrush. We'll start by using a concept painting that we'll use as source of inspiration and then move to ZBrush. In ZBrush we'll block out a basic mesh using the DynaMesh feature.
Eventually, we'll start to add details and paint a very complex texture map. We'll also learn how sometimes design ideas can change even when the design is almost ready. Get ready for some scary stuff!
