Stage 1. Blockout

Prepare your props for the Higpoly stage: main shapes, and forms. Approximate time – 4 hours.

Stage 2. Highpoly

Sculpt in ZBrush. Approximate time – 8 hours.

Stage 3. Lowpoly

Tip: you can use the blockout that you created for Highpoly as a good base (please, create your mesh wisely. Don’t add extra geo that doesn’t affect the silhouette, etc.). Approximate time – 4 hours.

Stage 4. UVs / Bake

Don’t forget to unlock normals and set up them correctly in Maya before you start baking in Marmoset. Set up props in Unreal with material and baked textures (you will update textures later). Approximate time – 4 hours.

Stage 5. Texturing

Photo / Concept projection on the texture is not allowed. Update your textures in Unreal when you’ve done. Final delivery. Approximate time – 12 hours.
