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.

Maya Texturing class: Substance 3

Maya Texturing class: Substance 3 In this class we went through the process of texturing this dumpster, recapping the use of fill layers and masks in Substance before being introduced to a few new tools that helped create the look of the textures. first we used the brush to paint in height information using alpha's and different brushes to create dents and parts of pressed metal. We then added anchor points to these layers allowing them to be used is functions that use the curve texture maps generated by the software. This means on the stamps we can use generators like edge ware or light as if it was modelled geometry. We then used the projection tool to project textures onto the dumpster and push onto the paint layer, this makes it easy to add images onto the texture maps for an object. This is seen with the spray can an the Graphic Graffiti on the Dumpster. Maya Render AO Pass Final Composite
