I saw this in artstation I was amazed right away at the quality of the asset 😍

[mrsturtevant]

This is amazing!! I was wondering if you could do a video that breaks down the difference between game models verses film models--especially retopology

[Ferusabiaga]

Great video, as always guys! Its great the balance between a good sculpt work and a good texture work. I saw this model on Artstation and the Diffuse maps looks insane! And now here watching the ZTool and all the detail its awesome. Congrats guys! love your work!

I see dinosaur, I click like, I'm a simple man

[maximgehricke]

Just started modeling a dragon, was looking for a good tutorial. And BAM there u are! Nice video, thanks a lot! :D

yeah joined during covid in texture/lookdev and pretty much everyone is working in isolation. Generating curvature maps in Substance and doing manual painting is the norm, where the modeler just hands it off. Great to hear the experience isn't the same everywhere.

Quote 100% (19:57). UV layout can not be done by the modeller for me too. Also i add that, as a texture artist, you should teach what’s important too keep in mind when modelling, like for instance straightening an arc shell, expecially if you are gonna work with the same person for a long time. This will improve the speed of teamworking as hell

I've been using Substance Designer for generating high res alphas for some of my creatures and because it automatically tiles, it is perfect for sculpting. And I have started doing work with UDIMs and I split the model in such a way that I can get my extreme details, and keep the animation mesh intact...

Please breakdown Love Death and Robots!

Awesome video :)

[MikeBeyene]

I like how much conviction yall spoke about Mari and SP and UDIM.
Conversation: Done!

[irkendragon]

If you don't use zremesher, what process do you use to give your sculpt good topology? I'd like to hear more about the process of setting up a mesh's topology/UV's to make use of tileable textures.

[asapGooby]

Please, please, please, break down Love, Death, and Robots' models! that show was AMAZING

[raxlyy]

Can we get a full advanced masterclass of any dinosaur?

[magik]

I would love to hear a breakdown about the first episode of Love Death & Robots "Sonnie's Edge"

[pw]

Awesome breakdown! This is so insane how much information is for free. Thank you guys. I have a question about the details. Did he use a displacement map for the scales or is this baked with normal map?

[kayla]

Please break down Love Death and Robots, particularly Sonnie's Edge, with animation and modeling of Khanivore and Turboraptor!

Only FlippedNormals can convert a selling video into a tutorial.

[Felix-oshf]

Does substance painter work with udims now?

[pw]

great video. im a beginner and it would be sooo cool to know how you get the displacementmap from zbrush to ( in my case) substance and use it for this purposes...

[marambaia]

Basic tutorial of painting it in mari and zbush, , displacements, diffuse, cavitys, curvatures, , please :)
