Making of “The Package They Carry” by John Strieder
To begin, I want to thank IT’S ART for running this contest and all the sponsors for their fantastic prizes. I’d also like to thank everyone who voted or commented on my entry!
3Dtutorials.sk recommendation:
To maximise the realism of your 3D rendering we recommend using high quality photo textures from the #1 texture website www.environment-textures.com
The first thing I created was the quasi-standard model for the kids, which I used to make several children. The mesh was done using Poly-by-Poly in C4D and then exported to ZBrush. In this case, I wanted to make it a little comic-like, so I made bigger heads and didn’t made too many details.
I also used ZBrush to paint the skin textures with “Polypainting”, which I prefer for this purpose because it does not work in UV-Space. Moreover, the tools (especially smooth) are not bothered by the seams of the UV-Map. In addition, color cannot be pulled accidentally to other areas in view. You simply paint on your mesh as if with a brush on an object in real life.
“Transpose” is another great feature of ZBrush; it allows you to pose your character instantly without the need to make a rig with all its subsequent complications.
