Woah, that was a lot of work! - I like the jacket part most, looks so realistic in the end :)

Interesting. I guess the workflow with ZBrush ain't so bad after all... good work guys!

I loved the video, thank you for uploading it. I think I'll start using the claytubes brush more now, now that I saw how powerful it can be.
I could see from the video that you were adding quite a lot of geometry within Zbrush, especially on the face. What is your workflow to get the uvs onto the models? Do you export out a low res of your sculpt and build from there?
When you were drawing the indentions of the jacket, by the zip and around the lower shoulders. I could see that you were able to draw the lines on top of each other perfectly. How did you do that? I cannot replicate that kind of accuracy on my own tablet. Were you using a cintiq for this, or are you just that good? :)

thank you :)

ok now to your questions

>I could see from the video that you were adding quite a lot of geometry within Zbrush, especially on the face.

I'm not one of those guys who stay on one level and work on that as far as possible, as you may have noticed i'm switching back and forth between levels.

>What is your workflow to get the uvs onto the models? Do you export out a low res of your sculpt and build from there?
well before i switched for retopo to 3dcoat i used zbrushs internal tools to create the lowpoly model, now i export the highresmesh to 3dcoat and retopologize there, then export the lowpoly to max and unwrap. I'm not sure I might have captured parts of the retopo and unwrap workflows as well. Have to search for the files, maybe i can cut something together

>When you were drawing the indentions of the jacket, by the zip and around the lower shoulders

lazymouse! go into the stroke tab and activate it :)
while i do have a small cintiq (the 12" one) i'm using it pretty much like a intuos as its pretty small :S
