Hey guys, this is a character I’ve been developing for a while now and it is the main project for a massive new course that I just released: The Extra Mile – From Zbrush Sculpture to Polished illustration.
Well, it could just be that ‘little extra step that you were missing’ or the ‘additional 15 minutes’ you didn’t even know you needed to complete the artwork. For instance, here are some scenarios:
You have a clear idea of what you want to create but once you reach a point in the process, the following steps are a bit confusing… like what’s next after sculpting in a ‘T-Pose’?
You are a confident sculptor in ZBrush but want to go the extra mile and texture your creations in Substance Painter – great! What would that process look like?
You know that presenting your work shouldn’t take hours but you’re not sure what to do to keep it simple yet effective…
You are quite comfortable with the texturing workflow in Substance Painter but struggle with rendering…
You are well versed in the different workflows but somehow feel that the end result doesn’t have the impact you were hoping for…
You can easily sculpt, texture and render a bunch of passes but everything gets confusing when you need to put them together to create a composition of the image…
