#MARMOSET TOOLBAG 3 SHADOW ERRORS UPDATE#

In the end, I have very clean normal map, of all my objects combined, with no interpolation but a really good AO of the completed piece. I can bake different sub objects using different high poly meshes, separated, but at the same time, in the same project. Let`s use the вЂњhelmetвЂќВ as an example of the power of Substance Painter. So I grabbed my low poly meshes вЂњsubd 1вЂќ from zbrush, brought into Maya and started refining some topology and doing uvs. I don`t have to deconstruct the process anymore. Now with Substance Painter, it`s easier, fun and the process became merged into only one.

Bake maps, paint diffuse, create shaders/materials and so on. I used to вЂњhateвЂќ this process because it was so disconnected from the material creation. It`s a little bit weird to get used to seeing this вЂњunfinished lookвЂќ but it`s worth it in the end рџ‰ I only did the main forms and breakdown because all the fine texture work and small damaged/wear and tear will be done in Substance Painter as I paint the colors/materials and so on. The accessories were not detailed that much. For detailing I`ve used a few custom alphas and a lot of hand work. Clay brush for main forms, standard and damn standard, move and some inflat.

I had all my main base meshes ready to go. It does a pretty good damn job, and it`s faster!ДЄfter that, it was time to get back to Zbrush and start sculpting. I deal with that on a daily basis at work and it`s time consuming, so for this project I wanted to have more вЂњfreedomвЂќ and not spend time with these stuff рџ‰ In the end, I had 2 small objects that were zremeshed. I was NOT concerned about best edge flow for animation or limited polycount. My main concern was a better edge flow for sculpting, uving and display at the realtime rendering. I`ve mainly used Topogun and 3dsmax for that (I`ve been constantly trying to do as much as I can on Maya but the modelling I still find it easier and faster on 3dsmaxвЂ¦BUT everything else I`m fond of Maya pipeline). I like taking screenshots and doing some paintovers myself to explore and design ideas.ДЄfter the design was вЂњdefinedвЂќ ( I ended up changing a lot), I started doing some retopo for better flow and easier sculpt/detailing later on. After creating a reference board, I jumped straight into Zbrush and started sketching with dynamesh and simple tools. But I wanted to mix a bit of вЂњBlizzardвЂќ and some more grounded/realistic stuff into this project. Big mouth, small eyes, helmet with horns. I like the feeling of how вЂњdumbвЂќ and stupid this kind of вЂњorc/trollвЂќ look like.

One of the biggest inspirations for this project was a sketch done by JB Monge. I`ve been using Pinterest a lot recently. I`m a huge fan of all Allegorithmic products!ДЄllright. I don`t feel that much of limitation and now with Substance Painter, it`s an amazing combination to achieve good materials and textures. Great features, great lighting and shadow control, and shader features.

To be honest, the new update of Marmoset Toolbag 2 is amazing. I love the challenge to try achieving a вЂњskin lookвЂќ with limited resources. I like spending my time sculpting, texturing and playing with shader settings. My home computer was not built to render either which makes everything takes longer too.ДЄnyways, I like making realtime models. Maybe I`m too anxious to wait or maybe I haven`t done as much as I should to understand it to a certain degree that I can get some cool results right away. I play a little bit with rendering but it`s not definitely my forte. I`m a huge fan of all the Blizzard Cinematic`s work too and I really love this вЂњrealistic fantasyвЂќ style they are able to achieve. Well, this project started when I saw the renders of the ILM orc months ago.

You can get a PDF Version here вЂ“ (Thanks to Dado Almeida for putting the PDF together вЂ“ ). Tks for all the help my friend!ДЄll the sculpting was done in Zbrush and final model/hair cards in Maya. But, if you wanna dig deep into it, I`d recommend watching the Christophe Desse Tutorial about it. I`m writing a complete breakdown of this project and I`ll include some Substance Painter tips on it as well. I love all the updates and the constantly search for improvement this guys have been doing. I started using Substance Painter this year and it has been one of my favorite tools ever. These guys are amazing and they keep updating it with new features and it only gets better. So my render engine of choice was Marmoset Toolbag 2. I was heavily inspired to attempt doing my version of an Orc after I saw the ILM Cinematic shots, but I wanted to try it under all the next gen limitations for a realtime model.
