STYLISED BARREL Game Asset (FULL VERSION) -Maya-Zbrush-Substance Painter 

yea speaking about making changes in early stage i noticed right asap i was going to need to go back to re shape the barrel. Many thanks for sharing your workflow specially for those who are living in third world countries with 200% inflation and cant afford to pay a decent education. I salute you my man.

to all people viewing the video, I wanna list some good shortcuts to make your workflow a bit faster: isolate view: ctrl + 1 smooth view: 3 (use this to see how smoothing in zbrush will affect your model and where you need to add more edges) normal view: 1 wireframe mode: 4 shades display : 5 bevel : ctrl + b extrude : ctrl + e detach components, extract faces : available in marking menu by pressing shift + rmb duplicate with transform : shift + d (useful for like making the seperate planks in the barrel without having to repeatedly use the rotate tool)

I could honestly listen to your voice for hours. Its so soothing and almost therapeutic.

Thank you for this tutorial, it's been extremely helpful and I finally have a better understanding of the game asset creation pipeline. This is exactly what I've been looking for!

Dude I'm learning may, substance painter and zbrush rn. This tutorit is soo awesome!

That technique of using a quick painted colour texture in a fill layer to make an asset look hand painted is rlly cool

Your tutorials are incredibly useful, even to an industry pro who's rusty with this workflow. Thanks for making them!

Amazing tutorial and help working out the workflow between Maya, Zbrush and Substance! Started learning yesterday and this massively increased my knowledge more than any other video so far!

Thank you very much for showing your workflow and explaining how you texture specifically to get a stylized look! There are way too many tutorials nowadays that ask you to pay for their full version of the process.

Hi Mr RobotArmy! Thank you very much! It's Incredibly useful! Would love more stylized tutos like this. Anyway, thanks for the time and energy you put into it. Wishing you a great and happy new year!

This is amazing thank you. I've been noting down so many shortcuts and techniques while watching this, so many i didn't know about!

I have been searching so much for a good high to low poly re topo in zbrush and then to bake in painter for so long.... this is just exactly what I needed. Simply straight forward and really helpful -even tho I don’t use maya , I can take the principles into blender . Thankyou !

The final render looks marvelous

Just wanted to express how helpful your videos are!! you are extrely good at explaining tNice tutorialngs in-depth but still at a basic level for

Beautiful video, I wish I could like it twice xD

It's really a wonderful tutorial ever seen. After seeing this video my many doubts cleared. Thanks brother.

That was amazing! Please make more tutorials like this.

Thank you for this video. It is very hard to find proper Maya to Zbrush video's for game assets. Hope you make more in the future.

What an interesting tutorial. I learned a lot by following your example :)

Really.. can not thank you enough. Keep up the good work mate!

Thank you so much for the detailed step-by-step guide

Wow!! Really Great work! I lerned a lot from your Video.I'm looking forward to various videos in the future

Just saving to practice this weekend

Wish I could give you way more than one like. Thanks for your good sharing of knowledge. I learned alot.

you deserve more followers! great content. thank you for tutorial

Saw you on newtubers and I just started using Blender again after a long break (2.8 definitely has a lot of changes since last time that I used it).. good to see Blender getting more love with good tutorials. Barrel reminds me of the game Sea of Theives, very cartoonish :) Love this style. Keep it up!

Thank your for this excellent tutorial. Appreciated.

Thank you for awesome tutorial!

Thank you very much for this excellent tutorials

It's so pretty, super polished 👌👍

please upload like these. very useful and productive

I learned more in 20 min than a 12 hour paid tutorial. Thank you. This helped me shake off old maya slow workflows. SHIFT right click and some hotkeys for CRTL 11 AND CTRL BACKSPACE are awesome that I am trying to get in muscle memory. And it flows great. Followed along with a video speed of 0.75. And stopping starting. Subbed and will be watching and working along more videos here. Thank you again Loving just making a barrel. cant wait to use this flow to make more stuff. p.s the 360 snapping calculation was cool too. I have never done that before and will use it all the time from now on

Amazing as always..keep up the Great work..Big Thanks

you doing awesome videos!

Love your videos I'm still new to 3d and found this very helpful 💻

Thanks to you I learned finally workflow :)

Great tutorial. I am using Blender instead of Maya and my big take away was the workflow from concept to final. I am not finished watching and following along yet but so far... amazing. I will certainly be looking at your other stuff!!

awesome video like seriously this has so much information thank you very much

I really like this video since I am new to modeling. The only thing I really wish you touched base on was showing your outliner in Maya and showing how you were setting the parts of the model up in the outliner to transfer over into ZBrush. Specially with all the slats of the barrel. With that said, I really enjoyed watching you build this.

great tutorail

Nice tutorial! Love the finished outcome. I appreciate all the ZBrush tips as I'm pretty new to the software, everything was super informative and easy to follow.

Amazing work, thanks for share with us

I have been looking for a video like this for so long, it's exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic work!

Thank's for the stylized painter tutorial... I am your new subs

I learned too much from you Thank you so much.

Great video! Subbed!

Great tutorial! Would be interesting to see how you render the final image, some composition tips and tricks. Thanks!

This is great, thank you!

Hey thankyou so much you are great.

Thanks for these videos. Great to see videos where things may not always work out, and watching the process to fix it. Too many perfect videos out there and you learn nothing. Especially those time lapse videos which are basically useless to learn from. Would love to see a video modelling the new NFL Helmet. I cannot get it right as there are so many different issues to deal with.

Awesome work :) Subscribed

FINALLY, someone who knows what hes talking about

You are awesome man

Hi, I learned a lot from your video. I'm really a little upset that you have so few subscribers.

very nice tut

Good video, thanks for that :)

I feel you!

23:40 the option to bridge like that is insane to me. For all of this time (in blender) Ive been roughly making curves through repeated extrusion. Luckily blender has this option with basically the same interface so it proves that as long as your comfortable with your 3d program of your choice you'll get there.

great ..very useful...pls don more...

25:45, a little tip for you, instead of using the multi cut tool, you can actually bevel them with chamfer off, and it does exactly the same but gives you more control! so you can select all the edges you wanna keep sharp together and then simply bevel them without chamfer and this saves a lot of time!

Veeeeeerry goood lesson!

nice

Thst's why he's gettin paid for it

Amazing work! Foliage next?

what throws off is the step sequencer. i ntally associate it with a soft/clip whether it's being used or not. also when you do

Your tutorials are very useful! Do you recommend any tutorial how to make that wood texture in PS tillable if i would make my own?

Can you please make a tutorial on how to create the logos in photoshop like the one you created at the end of the tutorial?

More and more clear to the game asset workflow. Can't express how grateful I am. Just curious. If we want a super high quality asset that needs a close-up shot like in VFX. What's the difference of the workflow between them?

Hi, RobotArmy you have done a very excellent job. The end result was amazing. I want to ask a few questions. When you re-import your high-poly model into Maya to make it low-poly and create UVs then why you re-model or improve your original one and place on the top of the high-poly model instead of you can just use Maya Re-Topo or Pe-mesh tool on your high-poly model and simply convert that into low-poly why you didn't do that? because this is a much easy and faster way to reduce no of polygons in the model. And also you can't get those details on the low-poly model that you have done in ZBrush. And can you please clear me what actually baking is? because you just put the low-poly and high-poly models together and merge them and you get a blend of them. I don't know why you do that. Is this process decrease the no of polygons in the model or something else? Because what I am thinking is that you just have to retopology your high-poly model into low-poly using the Maya Re-topo tool and make UVs and just export into a substance painter for texturing. Is I am correct? And if what I am considering is also correct then you have done the same job by another method and I am talking about another method of the same job. Is I am Correct? Because there and some videos on YT who are using Make A Polygon tool for converting into low-poly but I never understand why they do that because we never get those sculpted details on that model. And also at the end of the video, you say that you can re-import that final textured model into Maya and convert that into low-poly so what you meant by that? Did you haven't convert your model into low-poly before importing into a substance painter? I am so confused can you please explain to me? Sir, please don't ignore my comment, I am a beginner I have these queries in my mind please try to explain me. Please take the time to reply to me I really very appreciate your reply. Thanks

That was amazing! Do you give online courses?

Thanks for the tutorial. One question. You mention you have a pen tablet, how would one achieve a similar effect without one, If possible?

When importing into Zbrush do I need to import mats as subtools or polygroups at all?

This is a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing! I have only one question. All tutorals I've found on youtube only shows the process until Substance Painter. I searched a lot, but I still haven't found a tutorial showing how the textures made in Substance Painter come back to Maya and do the render. Please, if you have a video about this or even if you can show me a link to help me, I would be very happy. Thanks!!

Awesome tutorial! At the end though wouldnt it have been more efficient to just add a paint layer and use that logo as an alpha and just put it on there? is there a difference between using alpha brushes and mapping it on with projection?

hello sir, thank you so much for this tutorial. has been very informative. I followed through your entire tutorial. however, in the end, im trying to take the textures (exported as aistandard) to maya arnold into ai standard surface shader and everything is just shiny, i tried removing the metallic from the textures and its still shiny in arnold rendering. could you help to advise what settings I could use to render as per your rendered scene? this will be of great help!

Is there a way somehow you can share the theme u use for ZBrush, looks much cleaner and tranquil to work insted default sights of doom(black/red)? 😄

could i follow this tutorial with eu5 and the most up to date version of maya?

PLEASE help! I can't find the "any" key :O Kappa

pretty high poly for a simple little barrel

Hi RobotArmy, Thanks you for all the knowledge you confer, you are a very nice teacher, love your work ! I write a comment because i am having trouble during the reproduction of your barrel, with the baking on Substance : the texture of the HP mesh seems to be prejected in the interior of the barrel, and the interior is projected on the outside, around the barrel... After some researches, flip normals, scale the LP a litte bit, play with the Max Frontal Distance in subtance, nothing really help :/ Any idea ? Thank you very mush if you have time to answer me, i go continuing my tests :D Good continuation man !

I ran into this problem, when I try to move the board with the brush, one point stays in place, anywhere I try to move the board, it appears.

When you go to top view, not the wire frame but after you had extruded the side slat why doesn't it show the slat already extruded? After I extruded my slat piece like you had, I went to top view like you, and it showed the piece already extruded on my end. Just a question, trying to learn.

30:21:00 Dont get it. Did you merge the wood planks also like you did with the bolts? When I use the move beush on the merged and dynameshed planks it affects 3 planks at once while in video it affects separate planks. Dont understand what i did wrong

Photoshop Trick Was TimeSaver ☻

I have problems with the clipcurve, it destroys the mesh pushing it to another side

Don't mind me just making a lil mark for myself. 1:19:54

The trimcurve is not working for me? It just splits the wireframe into two pieces but none is removed? Could anybody help out?
