At some point during rigging I asked the art director if I could use a higher subdiv and then we’d not worry about tessellation or displacement at render time, she agreed. But yeh I don’t really like working with characters that high res.

There’s some old versions. I still gotta add a bit of stuff and clean up those details.

Yep! Added about 5mm, just wanted to keep the seam as the fix point. What I posted was basically a UV unwrap, no idea how else to make this. Anyway, I should be done sewing it in a couple of weeks --b

But if you were asking about that elf there, maybe I should! I really did get out of the habit of zbrushing things, didn’t I!

Sometimes Zbrush is in the crashy mood! Thankfully my home desktop is fine, but the surface pro - while being OK in terms of plain performance - has no GPU which makes it a little janky and glitchy for 3D work. Additionally it’s not ergonomic or comfortable to use for it, so I’ll have to get an USB splitter so I can hook another tablet + keyboard to it to do that kind of work. It could be a lot worse, but the lack of hardware is slowing me down. We should hear back from our next application for funding in June.

a PAX wardrobe system will take you a long way towards towering amounts of cardboard, since the customisation means every part comes individually wrapped. Also it stores a lot of clothes.
