Zbrush sculpt, task three and task four

This week I primarily focused on ASU2. I finally got a sculpt form I was pleased with (and didn't get into a hissy fit with). Sculpt seen below:



In addition this week, I done two more tasks - task three time limit was one day. Task four was two days.

Task three's aim: the aim for this was to model something and try to make the textures stylized. Part 1 is rendered within Designer and part 2 was using cel shading blueprints within UE4 - fortunately, I done cel shading before in UE4, so this didn't take long to do. Task three is a recreation of Bender from Futurama. This is a small scale test, to see if I can create stylized textures and use them for my main piece for both SNU and ASU2

Task 4 aim: though I used Zbrush to add details on high poly models from Maya. However, I never done a Zbrush sculpt and then made it low poly in Maya. This week I also quad draw, so I wanted to try it out. I couldn't get use to it so I made up a back up plan: If I couldn't get use to quad draw before hand in, I needed another way to make the Zbrush model in game ready. So I lowered the poly count within Zbrush using Zremesher. I know I need to get use to quad draw within Maya, as it looks extremely handy to make a low poly mesh from a high poly model. But if it doesn't go well, at least I know I have a back up plan.


The texture used for mask was made using different layers of colour and smart masks
