Major Creature 4 Normals

When I imported the FXB from MAYA into Zbrush may faces where not present resulting in patchy high poly sculpt. After a few days of problem solving i found these where ngons that caused the software to not load them in. because of this I had to re mesh the model then reskin it to the bones, this is less painful than it sounds as i was able to export my weights for skinning which saved me from reskinning from the start.

I Used Zbrush's own normal generator due to discrepancies with he high and low poly models, doing it this way gave me all the pro's of the system I just needed the setting to be right in zbrush before I imported it the substance.

Tool Kit 2: Ambient Occlusion

Tool Kit 2: Ambient Occlusion Rendering Ambient Occlusion maps was something I was aware of from first year however this tutorial went into more detail about the shader in Arnold and as such was a really useful tutorial. Not only for the creation of good AO passes but for the knowledge I could potentially use the shader to create different effects because of the versatility of the shader. The end of the tutorial showed us how to use the AO map when composing the image in after effects of photoshop, this is a easy step however at this point a style will be shown as people will pick different intensity's depending on there eye and the effect they want to make.
