Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

how heavy is the mesh generated by the Zbrush displacement map? Looks like you're having fun learning Zbrush.

that because this would not be used in close ups

800,000? Just on the arm? Okay, well I'll definitely have to upgrade my system before I dabble in the Zbrush/Maya combo. Thanks for info.

cool...
did you bothered to uv map it or just hitted zbrush auto tile map?

In my experience, the worst thing in that aproach was to find out the right mental ray settings for subdivisions on the displacement... so that it was detailed and didnt took forever to render... did you also had troubles with that?
