Sculpt clean up - Mini Tutorial

This is a video showing the process I take to clean up my sculpts and make panels and pieces that can also be used as a base for the low poly.

[@phantomapprentice6749]

Takes him a while to get to the meat of things but still appreciated

[@TantawyAhmad]

Hi Roger... Great tips! thanks for sharing the mini tut :)
Did you try Zsphere Retopology btw?
I feel it's a lil bit more accurate/faster while redrawing topo + it snaps verts too ;)

[@chunchoe]

awesome video thank you so much

[@boviklayevhs785]

thank you its been 3 years. can you update us your current methods?

[@dual4025]

2:35 is the most frustrating part about using the topology brush and really deters me from using the tool

[@fractalelement857]

and when you want to paint it you get that model into substance painter and paint that low poly ?

[@cfriedalek]

Nice tute. Question - would you retopo the whole model in one go like this? Or would you do each major form, for example the pec panels, and stitch together later? I assume you'd do it piece by piece.

[@rogerperez7523]

Normally piece by piece yes

[@hardkorvin]

Very interested in the next steps. How you connect with other parts, and how prepare all model to unwrapping?

[@faysalfacir1795]

Yes, I hope to see him at the end of the video. This trick alone is meaningless.

[@ElRixSape]

Hello, I just discovered this channel, do you have plans to revive it?

[@Azzazel_]

Why use support loops instead of creasing?

[@SlantEyedJoe75]

Support loops allow you to control the sharpness of the edge. Soft vs sharp

[@Azzazel_]

@@SlantEyedJoe75 You can do the same with creasing in zbrush simply adjusting a slider

[@SlantEyedJoe75]

does creasing hold any information when you uv it and then do hard vs. soft edges when baking

[@Azzazel_]

@@SlantEyedJoe75 You can export your high poly model created from the creased one and bake it on the low poly without any kind of issue

[@neumann1940]

@@SlantEyedJoe75 Problem with creasing that if you export the mesh it can't read it unlike adding support loops

[@Screamus]

Why are the buttons of your UI BLUE instead of orange?

[@rogerperez7523]

You can change the look of the zBrush UI to your liking

[@Screamus]

@@rogerperez7523 it's just odd, I either see the default orange accents, or this exact same shade of blue. NO OTHER COLOR. CHANGES.

[@FakeDelinquent]

@@ScreamusI personally have mine set to a Barbie pink and teal, I mean why not do whatever colors you like

[@Screamus]

@@FakeDelinquent I saw different button colors on different videos, and I thought it was a difference between zbrush versions. I didn't know you can change them as you wish.

[@TheTyroofToriyama]

Why on earth are you tracing something that’s finished already? I only half understand topology cos people only explain it half-well

[@rogerperez7523]

That is just a concept/dirty sculpt. Normally after you are happy with what you have as a base you want to go in a finalize shapes to look clean and crisp. Not the only way to do it, but certainly a way that works 😉

[@TheTyroofToriyama]

@@rogerperez7523 Thanks. Btw is the edgeflow and shape of the faces important for the way the object moves and faces fold?
I asked this before but someone said no. For eg when I sculpt over them I can see the squares and triangles. Isn’t there the odd time when it’s ok to connect all of the quads with a tri, in a small area?
Might be worth a video if I’m taking so much time with my questions

[@3Designer_col]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@phreakii]

Zzzz…

[@peter486]

that way of retyppo is insainly bad. i hate everything Zbrush when it comes it zbrush retyppo, they have NEVER made a god way to reyppo. i

[@rogerperez7523]

I agree, zbrush is not made for Retopo or UVs. At least not compared to other software packages.

[@Luke101]

highly disagree

[@xtensionxward3659]

you actually changed the look alot
and when dealing with complex and multiple hard surface parts that should be connected and flow into each others edges this is disastrous !
