In this study or quest for more knowledge to speed up my workflow I created a wooden prisoner chart. My goal was to learn how to sculpt wood in ZBrush, make a good normal map and use DDO to get a good starting diffuse texture. Then create a low res version of that model that can run in a rendering engine. Plus along the way I learned there were parts on the model that could be reused. Which cut down on my time to finish the model. This was a lot of fun to make.
I believe one should push themselves to learn as much as they can every day. Never stop trying, never give up. I've been pushing myself to dig deep into ZBrush and learn Character design within the tool. I discovered this tool is a epic time saver when creating organic models. One part of this process that I really love is how easy it is to create the clothing or armor. I just want to share something I was teaching myself to be better at. It is so important to keep learning your tools that can help you be better at your trade. It just doesn't help you but it also helps your team also.
