BC1-1808 Homework, Pavel Mazanik

[Pavel Mazanik]

@swikni thanks. I thought about it, but my wife think that it will be weird 😀

[Zsolt Cseh]

Pável that is very beautifully done again, super sculpting

[Pavel Mazanik]

@csehz thank you 🙂

BFG division in headphones creates a certain mood and inspiration. WIP for week 4

Sadly, I’m forced to copy this mesh to 2.79, since I’m planning to do retopo and continue with multi-res. And multi-res isn’t working in 2.8 yet. I’m so in love with 2.8 matcaps…

[Kent Trammell]

@nekronavt You’re off to a great start with this new creature. And YES aren’t the 2.8 matcaps soooo much nicer than 2.7x..I find myself modeling production work in 2.79 and doing screengrabs with 2.8 matcaps to show clients ha.

Anyhoo, it looks like another impressive character/creature is coming in hot. I hope retopo goes well! It’s the right choice for maximum detail potential.

[Pavel Mazanik]

@theluthier Thank you 🙂

Retopo goes meditative so far

[Kent Trammell]

@nekronavt “Meditative” is a great word for it. Some find it boring and redundant but I find it therapeutic. And since it’s such a useful option I’m happy to jam music for a couple hours and get lost in retopoland.

PS: Your retopo is progressing nicely 👍

[Pavel Mazanik]

Just feet and hands are left to retopo and I’m ready for multi-res sculpt. Probably I’ll try to texture paint him, but not sure if I’ll do it before deadline

[Aaron Rudderham]

@nekronavt I remember retopo-ing my scorpion mech thing from last class thinking how tedious it was and then I look at this… bravo, sir.

[yukino hatake]

@nekronavt wow this is so good. i love it. just a question during retopo arent you not lossing details like where the ribs are? not that its bad but i am kinda curious since you put a lot of work in the details but then they arent there anymore. or will they come back later if its finished.  again really great work 

[Pavel Mazanik]

@thecabbagedetective thank you 😀

@yukinoh1989 thank you. Yes, you are right, I’m loosing some details, but there is a trick – you can add shrinkwrap over multires modifier later and “bake” dyntopo details to multires. And it won’t affect the base mesh, shrinkwrap will be stored in multires data. Or you can just recreate those details manually. 

Here is final retopo by the way. Warming up for multires detail sculpting.

And this is the example of how you can return your details

[yukino hatake]

@nekronavt wow that is a handy trick . what is multires sculpting . is that sculpting again and then retopo again 

[Pavel Mazanik]

@yukinoh1989 No need to retopo again if you are not planning to bake normal maps etc. But yeah, it’s sculpting again, but with multiresolution modifier on and dyntopo off. You can’t add more geometry, since dyntopo is disabled, but you can achieve better details without turning your machine into crematorium 😀

[yukino hatake]

@nekronavt handy to know . so much more to learn . does we learn this in the pierro tutorial that @theluthier mentioned during class ?
also what is bake normal maps ? its not cooking that much i know but i dont have an idea what this means xD

[Pavel Mazanik]

@yukinoh1989 I got some tricks from Zacharias Reinhardt videos on youtube. And about normal maps – https://cgcookie.com/course/intro-to-normal-map-modeling-for-games
