Major Creature 4 Perceived Pipeline

After completing the rig for creature 3 I learnt a lot about potential hiccups and snags for the process as such i will list the new process.

1. sculpt in zbrush

2. export low poly with zremesh guides from zbrush

3. fix issues in export in MAYA

4. rig and skin the topology

5. UV

6. Import low poly to zbrush and use sub-div's to generate new hi poly details.

7. Texture using normal generated from high poly sculpt.

Know how the generate the normal maps should save some time however i aim to save time with the retopology using Zbrushes zeremesher as a base.

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.
