You always been a Huge Inspiration J! Thanks for your tips to improve our art. 😁

If anyone is having the Small Circle problem then here is how to fix it: It happens because either you have low memory (RAM) or too high poly count so before running Zbrush make sure you've closed every unnecessary app cause Windows is just Awful with their task & Memory management, also make sure CHROME isn't running in the Background. Second thing is to make sure your Polycount is under 100Mill as Zbrush can only display 10mill poly at a time when using HD Geometry. I hope it helps!! Also Thanks J for making such a cool & awesome video, It really helped me & I learned a lot. And now I'm gonna hop onto the Skin Texturing Video!!

Hey there, thanks. Maybe my texturing video covers that. I have some more demos available for channel members too but check the texturing video first. Gl!

Love your stuff, wondering if you can answer a question I'm having! I'm sculpting a face and finished blocking in primary forms for a 'neutral' facial expression; however, eventually I want a 'smiling' facial expression. Obviously this changes the secondary forms and wrinkles quite a bit. Would you recommend adding in pores/HD details BEFORE or AFTER changing the face to it's final 'smiling' facial expression? The model will not be used for animation or rigged.

@artofjhill

2 жыл бұрын

If it’s not going to be rigged, could go either way but I think adding before is good because then when changing the expression you could get squashing and stretching of pores and details in a natural way

Amazing insight! Is there any chance you can do (or maybe already did) a tutorial on how to export these high detail models as lower poly base meshes and have all the details be used in a material so that its easier to use on programs like c4d?

Hello, one question: how can I do so that once the resemblance and the shapes and relief of the features have been achieved, I can efficiently erase the traces of the brushstrokes at a level 5 of subdivision? since at that level of subdivision the smooth brush does not smooth so much

Hey J, I bought your skin pack and I loved I will tell you another way to spread the seamless pores; I go to substance and load the mesh and your pore alpha, I apply the alpha in the Color and Height map, I use the Height just to visualize better inside Substance, but I export the Color map. Then I load it as a texture, flip V, make alpha and use to apply a Displacement map in a Mesh with more levels and no HD Geo,, I use the morph target too, then I project in a duplicated mesh with HD Geo, the pores will be applyed using the UVs and will not have streched areas.

Thanks for the message. HD can only display to its limit so the edge is outside of the area. You have to go in and out of that mode and try not to sculpt over the border. It can be a pain for sure and isn’t worth it most of the time. Only for models needing the most details as possible

Arent you afraid that after you open them they wont look the way you wanted them to? If I sculpt with opened eyes for games (realistic) what will happen when the model is blinking? Thank you for your answer:)

Hi. I just closed the eyes for this demo to keep it focused on the skin and such and not the eyes which is another topic. I pretty much always make my characters with eyes open. blinks are so fast, it doesn't matter. The only time you'd create them closed and open them is if there was a planned shot/close up of the character with closed eyes. 99% of the time though you can just make them open.

No, absolutely not, the cartography images are a hi res camera image, the stuff you get from xyz are real 3d scans, the displacement map you get from xyz has an alpha channel, similarly the albedo you get from xyz is a base color, the skin color without any SSS,roughness,specular, or lights to it, whereas the cartography you see you get a mix displacement, SSS, Skin color, roughness, and I dont think its good to use for a stencil.
