This is so good, no one ever posts about production modelling at this level. I have a question, how do you deal with projected surface detail on the high LODs when it comes to Blendshapes and at what level do you sculpt? Presumably on the lowest level initially, then wrapping that to the high and working on top(else it becomes pretty hard to create shapes when you have a lot of surface details like your kaijus)?

So, when you split the model into two parts with a common border, starting at 12:10 , are you not taking the risk of moving one part of the border to a degree where the textures and/or UDIMs would not have the exact same data since ZBrush is not doing a one-to-one topological projection of vertex coordinates? In other words, let's say that you move one region slightly towards tangent(x) or bitangent(y) directions of the surface instead of normal(z) when you either manually sculpt or apply a VDM stroke. Would that not cause the other surface's UVs to have skewed displacement information after projection?

i still watchs your video after 4 years still helps me sometimes thanks for that

Man I am sure it must be a good trick but I think only you understand what you're doing... Not very clear what you are trying to explain.

Man you saved my life thank you so much!

Thank you so much, this is just what I needed, and super well explained!

Thanks a lot for this great tutorial..... in my case, for some garments my UVs merge after i smooth the mesh....Does anyone know how i can fix that?

That's cool to make more polygons for details. Question... is it possible to pose the model after cut and u didn't see the cutline after posing?

Hi Lucas, thank you for all those cool tricks! I see that you have almost 50mil polygons at the highest subdivision level in Zbrush, how can you get that much details at that number of polygons without splitting the model into difference parts? I have a model with 6 subdivs but the details are really low res, what could be the tips you can give me, please!

Hey, ever thought of streaming on twitch? :) this model is insane!!

Thanks a lot man ! it works perfectly !

Thank's man!!!

Did u transfer the UV maps from the high to the retopo?

Question about retopology ( all,your video are good but didn’t find about topo ) it’s better to do the zeremesh until to get good edgloop for rigging ? Or,better quad draw maya wich for a kaiju it will take time for nice edgloop rigging ?

I'm just wandering how good is your works, at the level of very very astonishing..combining by skills of 3D modelling/sculptings if I might says..you're the one mastering of Z-Brush things

Lucas, We miss your content, please comeback !!!

Ты крутой) Помог решить многолетнюю проблему!))) Низкий поклон от всех художников и скульпторов!)

consulta. No se puede modificar la amplitud de la mascara al apretar A? porque veo q a todos les abarca bastante y a mi me abarca muy poquito y se vuelve muy dificl .

Thankyou for these awsome tutorials! Finally some real useful stuff about CG characters for production on youtube! :D

Amazing!! Thankyou!!

If you’re watching this, trust me, Lucas is the real deal. I worked with him on Venom and he’s an amazing artist. The 3d prints he has made are stunning. The only downside is at the level he works at he’s not allowed to show you the movie stuff he is working on.

It amazes me that such a talented artist, one that works on legit Hollywood films, have such a low follower (IG: 1,103) and subscriber (1.05K) count. At least the numbers are close. :D I looked at your IMDB. I was curious, what's the "td" stand for in "lead build td"? Edit: Oh! And thank you for the little heater recommendation. This is perfect for this application. I'm sure I'll use it personally when the temperature drops. :D Haha

Definitely want to know your cleaning and curing process.

Did you have to add a lot of supports? Did you have any pictures from on the print bed?

Hey man! I love the Kaiju print! Thanks for posting this! I have one question! is it emitting fumes and is it safe to be used it in a condo for instance? Thanks

Wonderful 👌🏻

first of all, hello from Canada. second of all THAT SMAUG MODEL IS STUNNING I WANT TO PRINT IT, its okay if not, but is it perhaps available for me to download from somewhere? I have been looking for a Smaug model for a while, and my sculpting skills are not at the point I can design one myself yet.

That dragon head looks de puta madre!

Amazing jobs dude

Amazing stuff. This production workflow info is very hard to find online

Hlo Lucas may be it's the version issue , I was trying this method in ZB 2019 , it did not work , the problem is I am having two polygroup on the HD geometry , the imported geo not replace the hd geo on the last step , can you suggest some tips for tht

THank you Lucas. I am loving your Channel. Please do not stop you help us a lot.

interresting but why no use HD geometry and export displacement with multi udim ?

really cool (Y)

Ohh nice am now this teknic

Podrías enseñar hacer el coat desde el comienzo por favor !

Could I use the same technique to retopo a mesh from Zbrush? (exporting the UV morphed version + the high res). The main problem I have encountered before is the number of vertices on the seams of the shirt not matching which is a huge headache. Thank you so much for the tutorial!

Nice, care to share the LCStandardSlash brush? Feels sexy :)

Great, thanks for sharing! How do you deal with overall shape changes after splitting up?

dear my friend how are you hope everything is ok, thanks for the tutorial just one thing after putting the thickness ( how can I fix the UV ) ?

lucas, hd geometry serviría para sacar el normal map como workflow de subtance? o necesitas si o si una geometria real para hacer los bake de los otros mapas, se puede sacar un AO map del hd geometry?

love this...super helpful

Golden content! :D

no me deja reconstruir la subdivicion en zbrush alguien sabe por que ?

loving all of these great info
