My husband and I are trying to make a VR video game in Unity and I have been designing characters and assets(such as buildings, plants, vehicles, objects, etc.) in medium.Īs I have been practicing and learning how to use medium, I have created some designs including different colors and materials including emersive and metallic materials. In this case, I used the Spotlight tool, in which you can load the image you want and project it to your mesh.I am about as novice as it gets self taught and just started learning late last year.
Zbrush skin texture copy object series#
I searched the 3dsk libraries until I found a series of images that looked similar in terms of skin tone, and used it to texture those parts of the rest of the body without color information.

We already had a lot of essential information that we had obtained from the XYZ map, but I still had some empty areas that I had to texture with the Polypaint. When I was happy with the sculpting I just needed to finish texturing the model. I usually buy these kinds of resources in stores like Gumroad, ArtStation, or Flipped Normals, it is a good investment because with these kinds of brushes you will go much faster in the work.

For this case, I used the Dam Standart, Inflate, or Standart brushes again, and I also used other brushes like the CG Sphere Skin Kit, as well as some alphas with information about pores, wrinkles, etc. I also worked some more on the lips area to make them more fleshy and fixed parts like the neck where I hadn't projected anything from the XYZ map. things that make the model more realistic. I added another layer and sculpted more details such as wrinkles in the parts around the eyes, some more pores in the areas that were less detailed, freckles, some pimples. With the displacement obtained from the XYZ map I had the face much more detailed, but I still wanted to work more on the model. This process usually takes a couple of iterations until it is well adjusted. Usually, it doesn't fit right the first time, so you have to adjust the mesh a little more by hand, with the move brush and projecting again to adjust it well. Here I adapted a plane with a loaded texture of an XYZ face to the shape of Jill's face. This plugin automatically adjusts one mesh to another. When I was happy with the result I SubDivided the mesh a couple of times and opened ZWrap. At this point, I worked with a very low SubDivision level to make it easier to modify the mesh. I started to work on the face and I was seeking the main shapes using generally Move and Dam Standart brushes to mark the volumes and features similar to Milla's and Maggie's faces. This way, I could work independently on each part and what is more important, take advantage of the maximum resolution of each mesh, being able to put more levels of SubDivision and thus making sure I could put all the necessary microdetail. Then, but before starting to detail and work more in-depth on the model, I cut the base mesh in two different subtools, head and arms. The first thing I did was to quickly adapt the volumes and body shape to what this adult version of Jill would look like. I started from a BaseMesh that I usually use for my projects.
