Finally! My first 3D model! ^_^

Hello, I’ve been working hard at Zbrush since about a week, I couldn’t complete the Skull
tutorial but I finally managed to make this! The only problem is how hard it was to get the
shape of the hair down, and the surface always looks a bit uneven, Smooth and Polish won’t
fix it and last time I tried Zremesher I lost a ton of detail.

but I hope you guys like it, I know it’s just a Pokemon but I don’t know how to make hair yet!
Ill do the body and outfit next ^^

Any help is appreciated ^^

Edit: Updated head model below

I think it’s terrific!
Well done!

About the smoothness problem, try masking the areas you DON’T want smoothed and use Relax in the Deformation Palate…

Thanks!, Now I’m trying to figure out how can I make flat shapes, she has a skirt and I know Zspheres wouldn’t
work for it. I’m reading the tutorials and they mention the shadow box, but I just want a simple way to make
flat primitives, any ideas?

This is how I want the skirt to look like:

Being an old fan of anime (old being a key word :laughing: ) This a great project for you! Your source image is stunning and it would be very cool to see you follow through with it. I thin k you have made a great start :):+1:

Yah!
That IS a great image, and I do have few ideas for you…

Right off I would say you could do this with ZSpheres, just make the basic shape you want out of them then use a mask to draw on the shape of each part, then use Extract from the Subtool Pallet, that would actually be very easy.
You could also make the basic shape using a sphere and sculpting the general shape and then using something like the CurveSnapSurface brush, its a little more tricky I think but very doable.

OMG since I’m still learning the buttons and I don’t know 10% of what there is in this program yet
I had to read your post like 3 times to figure it out! but WOW Extract is like Magic! _

I also went and learned Shadow Box, it’s really cool, I made this little bra lol

Thank you both for your help! I’m learning 100 new things per minute and I get more questions as
I go, It’s a bit annoying that this forum only let’s me post every few hours…

I’ll keep asking and reading online until I can finish this project :slight_smile:

Also I have another question, why is it that people make the eyes with a hole in the middle?
Is that how you make them look shiny when you do Materials? I still don’t know what UVs are
or how you make skins, only the poly paint…

Going to start the body soon ^^

Every few hours?
How new are you? you might be still getting moderated…
Actually that would be about the only thing that makes sense.
Also I would totally wear that, I LOVE polkadots!

Yea I was moderated until now! well I’m sweating bullets doing the body
and I’m going to have to remake the head completely…

I should’ve read more tutorials… :frowning:

Small Update!!
After puking Blood for a few hours I finally got the basic shape of the body down
but I had to redo the head almost completely. I’m was trying to make a stylized
anatomy with the big head but it looks mostly human for now…

newer version below

Ok I wasn’t supposed to do any anatomy because everything
will be hidden by the dress, but since this is my first model I
decided to try it and I’m really happy with how it turned out! ^^

The anatomy is not 100% accurate and it’s very exaggerated,
Since she doesn’t have human proportions, very long legs,
and unnaturally skinny, the butt turned out huge but I leave it
like that to fill out the big Skirt.

I like that muscular look. :slight_smile:

Really interesting.

@jan19

Thanks! ^^ I was expecting the anatomy experts to rip me a new one lol

I’m now remaking the head completely, at first I was sticking to her original
proportions but now I realize that it doesn’t work with my style, the huge melon
head that I was so proud of 3 days ago looks really embarrassing now XD

Also, how come you don’t have a gallery? I would like to see your stuff

New head is underway! :smiley:

Ok finally I have a basic model for the clothes,
the Skirt was a nightmare! Thanks a lot to Spyndel
and Designitlive for giving me tips ^^

Now I just need to add details, then a little stand and then Texturing and render…I’m never going to finish ;_;

Sorry Double post

This is coming along great!
Sweating bullets and puking blood must suit you!

You’re welcome, and thanks for asking to see my work. :slight_smile:

I’ve got a Portfolio at sharecg (jan019) and Renderosity. Most of the items I’ve modeled
have been clothing for Poser/DS figures.

As for why I don’t have a gallery here…I’ve started to post work a few times, but the work
here is so excellent. I guess it’s lack of confidence. :o I’ll work up my nerve one day.

Looking forward to seeing your progress on your character! :+1:

It’s still not painted, except a little bit on the face
and eyes and it hasn’t been posed but I need to
take a break and figure out how texture works.

Added a red scarf because her color palette was kinda
boring with so much white, she also has her evolution
stone necklace and made a quick base for her with the noise
feature and some micromesh grass, I intend to add a little
red flower or Pokeball on the floor to match with the red
scarf. Hope you guys like it ^^

Thanks for all the help here and to my two followers :stuck_out_tongue:
