Before you even start modeling, you should probably create a morph target. I'm not home right now, but.....I think its under morph target tab, you click on create. This way if you plan on importing it back, the UVs and the base model won't get messed up and rearranged. If that happens, it makes UV'ing a little harder. Displacements would be fine because it would follow along the UV that you mapped out, but color mapping would probably get stretched. I'm experienced that a few times before I finally figured it out. Kind of. :)

Ok what you saying is that i must make morph target for the basic model and then model in Zbrush , after that make the displacement and paint it in Zbrush ... ? :confused:

Yep. You have to be in Edit mode to see the tab to the right for it. It should be under Morph Target, click Store MT, then you start modeling. If you don't do this, everytime you model something and increase its resolution, you can't go back to the original object because everythings been moved around. Since its all moved around, it also affects your UV maps, causing color maps to stretch when you paint on it. By saving morph targets, you can always refer back to what you started with.

I'm still learning so nothing I say will be official.

Oh and another thing, it screws up your UV map badly if you don't have a morph target to back you up. I've experienced this 3 straight times.

Thanks for the morph help.:beer:

here is texture staring

Here is a render with maya

With applied Displacement and texture


The texture is his basic skin so will be working alot on it

Looks good dude. pop an eyeball in there so you can model the eyelids around it. You can pop the eyeball in as a subtool.

See that subtool menu? Just click on that then add or append(i forgot what its called). You can lock or hide the eyeballs so you won't actually move its verts around while playing with the eyelids.

And did you do the textures all from Zbrush and exported it over to maya or something?

Yes i make the texture with Zapplink then export it into maya

here is some update ... I'm not good at texturing but it's fine for me now :blush:

And one more model i've modeled .... Yeah i know the glasses are fu**ed up but ... i will fix them and add a hair :beer:

stick to lower subdivision levels for a longer time, because you are getting that trademark blob-look that most people get when they are new to Zbrush, and that is because people see Zbrush and say "OMG, DETAIL", and they don't take time to sculpt the bigger forms.
Don't rush straight to the detailing.

("Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread" applies well to Zbrush)

You' read my minds ? Shit i just said that ... Ok dude ... i will stick to lower levels :beer: , and when i'm comfortable i will go on

I started university so i don't have much time here ... so like you've said up there i start model lv 1 , lv 2 till i'm satisfited here is something i've made it's lv 3 , but it's 3 because i smooth the details of 2:p;)

nice job coldwave - this latest image is a big improvement over the earlier models. i'm assuming this is an alien head tho, otherwise the eyes and upper half are looking a bit big / wide.

Working on body now only the stomach and the ass part
