Making of WXS-07 – Depopulator by Danny McGrath

DANNY MCGRATH is a Freelancer – Game Assets/Hard-Surface modeling/Sculpting from Dublin, Ireland. In this post you will see Making of WXS-07 – Depopulator by Danny McGrath. Based on a concept sketch by Jared Marantz.

 

 

 

Started with a pre-built basemesh and just pulled the forms around to define the silhouette. This initial ‘clay’ can be anything really, a sphere, a Zsphere

Basic brushes in the image above plus snakehook and a variation in the clay brushes.

 

 

Once the concept sculpt is complete it’s on to retopolgy. There are several ways to do this in Zbrush: Zsphere topo, Topology brush, Zremesher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

simple Zsphere topo and Zmodeler to add detail

Some tutorials to learn the process much better:

 

 

The head started life as a trusty sphere, and was then dynameshed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here are some clay renders of the final model. UV-ed/decimated and ready for texturing in Substance Painter.
