Currently working on Elaisha showcase,
here 's what I got so far , done posing & sculpting and just clay material render of her

[malcom]

One thing I will always love is how you light this pieces of yours. This looks awesome.

[phungdinhdung]

thanks ! yeah I ve been inspired by the way top 2D artists do their grayscale value before coloring process. Also it help to flesh out the mood of the render fairly easy without being distracted too much from texture and reflection stuff.
also it's easier to spot any "bug" in the model too .

anyways, here 's the final render with completed material , all done in UE4 and render using Nvidia Ansel + Ray Tracing .

I always wanted to ask but how long did it take you to feel comfortable in making faces and bodies in zbrush? I feel like a scrub at the moment trying to get into 3d to really bring my characters to life.

[phungdinhdung]

haha, no. the truth is I never feel comfortable making things in Zbrush :P.
I prefer making things with nice topology in Maya and use them as a base SUBD0 in Zbrush for further detail sculpt. In the case of face and body, I already have my own base mesh with good topology for sculpting & animation .
also in prior to creating Basemesh in general, I might as well quick sculpt a design in Zbrush using just Dynamesh to quickly blockout the form and design before committing further in Maya.

Thanks a lot for the insight.

Taron showcase coming up next !
working on refining the high poly sculpt of hers atm.

[phungdinhdung]

taking a break between my coding lessons, so I spent a little spare time to work on refining an abandon old project , now that I has much more experience in finishing a piece, hopefully DeadLyly would come out nicely now

[phungdinhdung]

I made a little tutorial showing my 10 steps workflow for rigging(skinning) complex hair model with the use of proxy meshes and Geodesic Voxel skinning method in Maya

Hopefully somebody would find this helpful !

quick screencap of today work - Taron pose and Belly sculpt !

[phungdinhdung]

bringing Taron into UE4 for lighting. though white cat is quite an interesting look 😃

[malcom]

Looking good so far. Have you tried UE5 early release version? It still needs to be optimized but I wonder how you'll use the real time tools in there in the future.

[phungdinhdung]

Thanks !
I havent tried UE5 hands-on yet, just seeing my friend trying it out at the workplace. I think I will give it a try in next project if Nvidia Ansel ever work on UE5

Anyways, here are some though on my progress of refining topology and structure of my base mesh for new project for client .

palm & fingers structure are super important so that when posing hand it will look good ( spreaded fan like )

Some good use of Diamond 3Pinto1 topology to improve my existing topology in feet area:
