3D Class S2 Class 07 Organic Bust Project (Game Res Mesh Texture Bake)

This week we had to resurface our organic sculpts and bake high resolution maps onto the low resolution models

First I did a bit more sculpting in Zbrush based on the comments I got last week, and to put more detail into the hair


Then I created my resurfaced model in Maya




(If you think resurfacing the hair did not take a very, very, very long time, you are wrong)

Then I UVed everything and took it into Substance for baking

3D Class S2 Class 06 Organic Bust Project (Adding Hard Surface Element)

This week, we had to continue the sculpt of our organic sculpt and we had to add a hard surface element to the bust.

As a reminder, here is the sculpture I am replicating

It's by JoynerStudio

First, I went to Maya to model my hard surface base

I brought it into ZBrush for subdivisions

Then I continued sculpting the bust itself

3D Class S2 Class 05 Organic Bust Project (High Resolution Modeling Stage)

This week, we started the next four week project, which is modeling an organic sculpt. This is the image I chose to replicate:


Using that picture as reference, I went and sculpted in Zbrush, trying to get as close to the original as possible. 



Here is my final sculpt

3D Class S2 Class 04 Hard Surface Modeling Project (Substance Painter Section)

This time, we had to take our modeled guns from last week and resurface and texture them.

First I took mine into ZBrush to fiddle with the shape a bit, especially around the handle and "barrel" tip areas


Then I took the decimated high poly model into Maya for resurfacing





Then I went into Substance to bake the normals of the high poly version onto the low poly version


Finally I textured




I used an emissive for the laser energy



And here's the final composited image
