@Tidder T For better value, I'd go for a custom PC, I'm currently running a i7 9700K, 2080ti, and 32GB of RAM. My CPU is 8 core, 8 threads, the more threads the better. Laptops can't provide that performance.
@Tidder T Maya uses CPU and RAM power, the Ryzen 5 2600 does well in gaming, it isn't designed for a workstation. I didn't want to get an i9 or I'd sacrificed gaming performance, and the price isn't worth it.
Now a days I see a lot of people going straight to Zbrush. So good to see this sort of way of doing things still alive and kicking (makes me not feel so old X,D ).
@@cyffrowy2882 nope not really in my honest opinion through no fault of their own, not a lot of good teachers for UV’s. It is always the same explanation every time and it bugs me, trying to see if I can learn these things better in school lol
He made a low ploy model in 3DsMax, then UV mapped it. Imported into Zbrush and subdivided. He used Polish brush to make the dents in the metal. For the handle, he used the slice select tooo and made each bandage part of the handle into it's own polygroup so it was easier to work on. He then exported the low res model and then the high res model and all the maps (texture, normal, cavity, etc) and imported them all in Substance Painter, where he painted the model per each subgroup. He made metal material, etc.
Pretty sure he used the cut tool on the cylinder to cut it up into a bunch of polygroups then did a panel loop function and global inflated the edges a bit.
Really cool piece of work, all your projects have a distinct style. I noticed the quad draw tool at the beginning and I’m impressed to see that tool used like that. I was wondering if that is a recommended method of blocking out the shapes. Also, Once you import the model through zbrush and substance painter, is there any chance to see the wireframe on the turnarround?
Quad draw works great for things that are relatively flat such as this, but it could be used for other things as well. I use marmoset toolbag for the render, marmoset renders wireframes triangulated which isn't very helpful so that's why I don't include it in the videos.
Hi can you briefly explain how you did this type of modelling? The first minute or so. Like how did you place the vertices and join them together to make faces?
Absolutely, though I am working on stuff for total beginners at the moment. Working on an Intro to 3d class. I am also open to suggestions for other things as well.
awesome work but I would give the straps a bit more volume and make them pop out a bit more and then just go back to maya for a bit and just model some of those straps in there just to add more character And this was my only critique/ personal opinion great job
really nice. those videos help me alot to get better with my own 3D projects! i have a question tho. how do you smooth out/subdivide the cylinder parts of the Axe handle in Zbrush? whenever i try to subdivide low poly cylinders in Zbrush, either the polycount goes up but nothing seems to get smooth or the upper and lower edges get completely messed up. Thanks!
I add supporting edges usually, beveled edges. In zbrush make sure smt is on in the subdivide options. If it gets messed up you need to bevel the edges before exporting or by using the zbrush modeler tools
How long do you spend in each software before the next step? I am a beginner modeler and it often takes me an entire day or more in zbrush etc. How fast do you work? Thank you for the great video.
If you are a beginner that is totally normal. I have been doing 3d for many years now and the more you do it the faster you will get, but not everyone works at the same speed. The whole thing took about 2 hours I think. Keep in mind that I would spend more time on it if it wasn't to produce many videos for RUclips.
not sure what you mean, do you mean interactive creation for primitives? For that under polygon primitives there's an option at the bottom where you can disable interactive creation and this way the primitive will just show up in the center of the grid when you click create.
As someone that is learning how to bake high poly onto low poly and am starting to learn how to use Zbrush (literally about to start in a day or so). I know that I can keep my poly count low, by baking the high poly texture to the low poly mesh. When you take it from Maya to Zbrush and make all the alterations, is that just another "bake" onto the low poly mesh?
Hey! I've just watched a few of your videos and I am curious about your workflow when you get into substance painter. I notice you bake the normals/worldspace normals on their own, then handle curvature, thickness, and position maps, then finally ambient occlusion on its own. While I don't have any guesses as to why you separate curvature, thickness, and position maps from the ambient occlusion during baking, I am guessing you do not want your ambient occlusion to be baked from the high poly version. Am I correct? I'm so used to baking the ambient occlusion from the high poly and pretty much ignoring all of the visual errors that result from doing so. I never even thought of baking them separately until I've watched your videos. Was there any specific reason for separating ambient occlusion from the curvature, position, and thickness?
I do it mostly because I don't want substance to bake all the maps only to find there is some bake artifact. You can see artifacts from just baking the normal and world space. So I do it just in case to not waste time waiting for everything to bake. I leave AO for last because it usually takes the longest and I like to save the scene between bakes. I don't think substance uses the high poly for the AO, but I might be wrong.
@@3dextrude It does actually use the high poly for the AO. I actually just learned a few days back that you can tell it to bake the AO per mesh, but you lose any AO generated between objects of different names. I still think the way you do it is probably the best way to do it though. Really like your stuff!
When exporting into painter. does he import the model low poly model from maya and then bake the maps from the high poly zbrush model with all the details?
The sculpted details are on the high poly model, the high poly model doesn't need uvs. The uvs are kept on the low poly model. The details from the high are baked unto the low poly using Substance Painter
@@3dextrude that explains a lot for me now. I'm self-taught and all this time I thought that low poly and high poly must have same uv map. For almost a year I was making useless, harmful for model and to be honest pretty stupid thing. I feel really terrible, but at least now I know how things must be done. Thank you!
Shouldn't a object (let's say a chest) for a game be made of one single mesh (a cube)? I am pretty new to 3D modeling and don't really know much about it so please explain it to me if possible...

Set it really high if you are not getting enough resolution. If that doesn't work you can add more geo before importing to Zbrush as well.
