[@animarch3D]

Awesome work dude, nice simple breakdown. I'm feeling like in this Pokémon series, there could be a project that makes good use of the new Slimebrush in Zbrush haha. Nice one Jared!

[@animarch3D]

also keen to get on your next portfolio review! cheers dude!

[@milanm4772]

It's nice to see the whole process normally, from scratch to the final product. Even if it be a couple separated videos.

[@jchave7]

Ya I’ll still do those in the future!

[@user-uh1ox8jj2q]

I would love to see how you would create snorlax or drowzee their concept art is amazing!

[@nikhilnair5246]

Hey Jared! Really a fan of your work . I have a request that ...can you make an elaborate video just about substance painter when it comes characters/ creatures....that would be really helpful. Awesome work ! would like to see more of it in the future .

[@ZephrusPrime]

This turned out great.

[@jchave7]

🤘🏽 thanks!

[@Silver-xf7it]

He looks like Godzilla ❤

[@ErceninEskizDefteri]

Can you please make a detailed texturing tutorial? :') Amazing work!

[@sonyraphel6941]

wow... its mind blowing wondering if you could similar things little more slower in pace especially substance portion , then loving it 🙂

[@daniel_druziki]

Amazing job, how did you mange to open Base color color window in substance?

[@sarahmansour-3d]

Great work

[@jchave7]

Thanks Sarah! 🤘🏽

[@kell_alves]

Very beautifull, i like your texturing style! What is the process in between Zbrush and Substance? You can't work with a 65mi polygons model in Substance, right?

[@jchave7]

I just use a lowered subdiv of the sculpt and UV that. Worked fine for this project!

[@nathi218]

Man this short pokeman series has been immaculant! Love the workflow, do you retopo these models?

[@jchave7]

No, I’ve just been using a zremeshed topo for it!

[@OlegRTT]

Wonderful style

[@SamG-nq4pi]

At this step 5:00 , do you use dynamesh ? or an other subdivion tool ? i'm not an english speaker maybe i missed this point. Great project btw !

[@fabriziopacifici7531]

Jeeee.

[@SevansArt]

GOAT

[@jchave7]

Thanks dude! 🥰🤘🏽

[@yousseflezzam1305]

Can you make a full course step by step to do things like this plz

[@rickestofricks7705]

Hi Jared great video, What drawing tablet setup are you using? I have a Huion which is pretty bad but was ok to get started, i'm looking to up my game for drawing and designing graphics for clothing.

[@jchave7]

I have a cintiq 24 hd pro.

[@lovinkaiju2206]

How long did it take? It's amazing! I'm currently doing a twisted/ demonio version of the Porygon line! Glad I'm not the only one who likes to twist pokemon like that

[@jchave7]

Tight! 🤘🏽

[@arthursup4064]

Great work man! Love it ) Could you just tell me, you did UV for shading in Substaince? If yes, so which programm you used for making UV?

[@jchave7]

Maya for UVs

[@andreagazulli6427]

How did you add the black outline that gives the cartoon effects?

[@jchave7]

Duplicated the mesh and inverted it!

[@oPabloOliveira]

To use substance painter do I need to do retopology and bake using high Poly and low Poly?

[@jchave7]

Ya, I’m assuming painter doesn’t hand high polys very well. It can handle some polys but probably not terribly high

[@atomicshrimpFT]

how did you do the UVs? did you zRemesh and then uv and reproject?

[@jchave7]

Ya quick and dirty.

[@NguyenQuang-tm3ou]

do you need to decimate the model before exporting him to substance? my model refuse to be exported and unwrapped for uv after i reached 5mik polygons

[@jchave7]

Ya that’s because 5 million polys is to high to be exporting. You need a low poly mesh to export and bake to

[@jquintero462]

What type of render engine did u use?

[@jchave7]

Marmoset 4

[@PsychoCalamander]

Was this retopod? Or did you just decimate the model? Also, what about UV-s? Did you do them manually?

[@jchave7]

No, just an auto retopo. And manually uvd that.

[@atrempest6152]

Hello, what is the software used for the paint ?

[@jchave7]

Substance

[@julianofera2010]

where did u make the uv map? on zbrush?

[@jchave7]

Ya

[@cc-san2626]

Jared i have a question, how did you make retopology to this model for painting? was automatic?

[@jchave7]

Ya just automatic. I didn’t wanna be bogged down and deal with the retopo

[@cc-san2626]

@@jchave7 what tool did you used? Zremesh?

[@jchave7]

Ya!

[@yellowchip7087]

How can i find your courses sir?

[@jchave7]

You can find the links in my IG bio instagram.com/jared.chav?igsh=YzAwZjE1ZTI0Zg%3D%3D&

[@MrGATOR1980]

Hi Jared! could maybe give more tips about automatic retopology, and maybe some tricks to control more or rifine, there was - i belive follow up to alien retopo planned and it didnt came.And also how you UV this not perfect retopos for good effect.

[@jchave7]

Honestly I don’t really have much to offer on auto retopo outside what I showed in that video. I may do retopo on the alien. For UV on a auto retopo I just UV it the same way I would anything else, the seams just tend to be more jagged. Just kinda gotta be ok with.
