Rogue | Timelapse | Zbrush + Marmoset

30 hours of work in 15 minutes. Enjoy!
Hey! Here is a new small project I made in my free time and between feedbacks over the past couple of months. It took him about 30 hours to create the model and render, and a few more days to create the video.
I haven't posted anything new for several years and it's starting to bother me. I've been working on a few characters in my spare time, but they ended up being too ambitious and taking months to complete, and I didn't have too much free time, so they're currently stuck. So I decided to try something smaller, without low poly and other boring and time-consuming crap. I made a polypaint in zbrush and rendered the character in marmoset. In the end the model weighed 70 million polygons, but to my surprise my new computer was able to handle it in Marmoset, although there were a few crashes.
Music:
KARAAL - Imagine
KEYS - Soulll
Programs used:
Zbrush, Marmoset, Photoshop, After Effects

There something so satisfying watching a great piece of art come together, technique by technique. Excellent work.

[@IlyaGagarin]

Thanks a lot!)

Absolutely amazing and so nice that you show your photoshop work and everything else not just the modelling ☺️

[@IlyaGagarin]

Thanks ☺️

@@IlyaGagarin be nice to see some more videos though, I’ve just found your channel and watched them all 😂

[@IlyaGagarin]

@@oscarcampbellhobson I would love to, but they are difficult to make and require a huge amount of time) I hope to be able to do it again someday)

[@mak_attakks]

This is really inspiring. And thanks for also sharing your process for how you present your work. That was so much effort, and I have to admire the little detail of making the eyes pop even in the animated turn

[@IlyaGagarin]

Thanks a lot)

[@ferdaousselmoussaid8843]

Oh my god, you’re back! I can’t tell how many times I watched your previous videos in awe. You are a true artist and are so talented! Your attention to detail is bar to none. When I saw this posted, I gushed to my sister and ranted about how excited I was to watch it! Masterpiece! Hope to see another video soon!

[@IlyaGagarin]

You're finally back man! I'm happy. Was a little worried and sad that such a great artist has faded. I'm glad that you haven't given up on art man and apparently your skills are still impeccable after 4 years!❤🔥

[@IlyaGagarin]

Thank you very much) I didn’t give up art, I just didn’t have a lot of free time to create something for the channel) Thank you for not forgetting me, I appreciate it)

[@JoHnWxNoW98]

I've grown up as artist with the Shinobi making of, it's one of the first video I've ever seen about character modeling with a full workflow, I started just watching it because I couldn't understand the majority of the actions made in that video; now after years I can understand every step and I'm happy to see another video from you.

[@IlyaGagarin]

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it, I'm glad that my videos motivate people)

[@JoHnWxNoW98]

@@IlyaGagarin For sure, when I started I couldn't understand what you were doing ahahhaha, sometimes I still come back on it. The only thing that I can't understand is how do you bake so many details (like fabric textures) because I tried but maybe my PC is not powerful enough. Right now I am facing an issue on zbrush: even with an 8k map dedicated only to the face I'm getting pixelated details, I don't know how to proceed in my project.

[@IlyaGagarin]

@@JoHnWxNoW98 This is quite strange, maybe the problem is in UV and you are not using all the space, or when baking you set the quality of the textures to low.

[@JoHnWxNoW98]

@@IlyaGagarin hey, in the end I solved that by importing again the low poly, I don't know why but it worked

очень круто! подскажите плз, а такую модель можно ли в 3д печать отправить? или для этого другой пайплайн будет совсем? я только изучаю 3д) хочу именно под печать учиться статуэток разных)

Я для печати не работал, но вроде для нее только хайполька требуется

[@biriani2855]

What did you use to make the skin?

[@joujou9301]

Nice porces bro, where we can get that brhushes and alphas??

[@IGarrettI]

is the marmoset model a decimated model with polypaint, or with uvs and textures? Looks sharp

[@IlyaGagarin]

Thank you) It's just high poly

[@_rockstarmsc_]

Очень круто!!!За сколько лет дошли до такого уровня?

[@IlyaGagarin]

Спасибо) Лет за 10)

[@davidsebek1967]

Nice , I like how you texture only in the zbrush. Did you use vertex color for the marmoset? Because I didn't notice the lowpoly model

[@IlyaGagarin]

Thank you) Yes, that was the essence of this project, I wanted to do it quickly, just a sculpt and render)

[@davidsebek1967]

​@@IlyaGagarin I understand, I personally like this quick process. and I like to use it

Good job man butI dont like that you have to paint in the shadows in zbrush and paint in brighter eye colors. But overall good job man

[@oscarsanchezarcada]

Hi Ilya, awesome work!. This time are u rendering in Marmoset without the retopology process?? Can Marmoset support the high poly model that easy or u did retopology out of camera?

[@IlyaGagarin]

It can handle high poly, but it depends on your computer, I used to have 16 GB of RAM and the marmoset always crashed at 15 million, now I have 64 RAM and it handles the 70 million scene quite well

[@oscarsanchezarcada]

@@IlyaGagarin mmm interesting, ty for your time answering me 😊

[@user-hf3ul8rf7n]

​@@IlyaGagarinI hate this damn retopology. It's a huge obstacle to convey to game developers. It's still primitive for humans to do this.

[@TuanTran-tw6xi]

do you sell the full real time videos of any project that you have done? or maybe tutorial?

[@artmosphereID]

do you decimated the model first? or just put those 65million vertices to marmoset?

[@IlyaGagarin]

My computer could handle it so I didn't desimate

[@zZ-Wipeout-Zz]

how did you make those alphas for the cloth ?, this is really cool :D
