ZBrush to Maya to ZBrush - Retopology and UVing with Quad Draw 

Thanks!

yes, too lound in some others

background music is the first time in the history of youtube that it was perfect. It's rarely even bearable. the tutorial is also nice ; )

i think i might be the only one who hates it soo much booom buung booom bbuungg fuckin stahp!

@@Scrahdabley Im gonna steal the background music.. someones know the song? Amazing, thanks for help.

@@666Exodia666 Not saying it's the same, but it reminds me of the game "Mini Metro". It's like those sounds in loop, maybe you can use those.

I can't understand...is any fastest way to remeshing the zbrush model in maya ?!

@@jaya_surya_a5118 There is a "Remesh" and "Retopologize" tool in maya but it takes billions of years to complete the process if you have millions of polycounts

Hi April.. That is the way to work in the Games Industry I believe. High and Low Poly models are used to Bake details on the low poly model to become game ready for use in game engines. For Games I believe, the details are highly dependent on the normal map and the other baked maps but not displacement/height map. Whereas for films, displacement map is also needed and this map is directly dependent on the number of subdivisions used while rendering but game assets do not use subdivisions to keep the performance high while real time rendering. Therefore, the process Alex used may be inclined towards creating assets for film rendering using a render engine like Arnold or Vray etc... Kindly correct me if I am misguided but this all came through some observation. Although I myself have many fundamentals that need explaining, I hope my answer clears your question.

Thank you for sharing

Thank You!

Duncan???

Alex Cheparev brilliant video, so would this retypology With projections be able to animate with its new typology, or is there a way to take the projections out of zbrush as a bump/normal or displacement to be placed over less poly dense version of mesh?

Still Valid!

I was having trouble seeing my retopology mesh, deleting half helps with visualization. It's an optional step, you don't have to delete half.

guy 4 me waste of time i thought he will animate srry

If you start a model in zbrush using a sphere or using zspheres, the topology is usually not ideal for animation. You have to retopologize your model to make it production friendly and this video goes over the process.

Oh ok, thank you for you answer. :)

That's what I do!!! I realize that it's cool to START in ZBrush but to save myself work, I retopologize and build correct edgeloops in Maya and THEN bring that over into ZBrush......or MudBox!!!

oh and btw your agressive mouse click really startled me

Check that the obj plugin is enabled in Maya's plugin manager. Export from zbrush as obj.

Situation based. But I like to retopo as early as possible.

Shaun Patrick Cledera you have to check your symmetry settings, is it set to works or object space or based on topology. You can set topology symmetry by selecting a single edge on the center of you model and then clicking the symmetry button in the modeling toolbox.

Nvm, I created a new camera and set the angle of view to 1. that seemed to solve it

Kalbe Arts Just save your scene. To continue later, select the in progress geo and select the quaddraw tool, it will pick up from where you left off.

Yes

@@AlexCheparev is there any fastest way for zbrush mesh converted into Maya.. Like automated

@@jaya_surya_a5118 You can Dynamesh/Zremesh, but it doesn't always give good topology.
