Process
I import the file from 3Dmax into Zbrush to begin sculpting but because I was too worried about how much the tris would count I made it so the fireplace was hallowed. I deleted some faces that won't be seen as how I did with my other 3D projects. I just know that it was not necessary and makes it unsculptable.
Zbrush won't show the back of the models if its a plane
So I went back into 3dsMax to fix and make the floorboards, walls and bricks to be a solid block again. There were also more details added to the bricks to add dimensions to it.
Fixing up and patching the model in 3dsMax
I import the model in again and begin sculpting for real this time. There were so many times the project crashes, that I was panicking about whether or not I can do this work in time. It was due to Drive C storage being full and I managed to fix the issue later on.
I start fidgeting and figuring out how the control is used in Zbrush, it was very confusing. So I started with doing small lines and details on the cloth to test out the brushes. I use crease on the edit option to keep the sharp edge of the model when I smooth the surface out.
After marking the creased and adding geometry, I began using the brush provided to make the wooden floorboard. I shipped away the wood to make them look old first before adding the texture to it.
It took me 3 tries and the first version looks very ugly. I can see myself improving each time I redo it.
There was not a lot of change in the decoration bits but I created the texture on the anchor to look worn out a little and make windows on the lighthouse model.
My favourite piece would be the wood logs. I made only one with high details and duplicate it to save time.
Finale Piece
I look over other people's work and am not a little anxious if my work is detailed enough. However, since this is my first ever piece on Zbrush and I am still confused with the control. I am very proud of how this turned out! I will surely try this program out more in my free time.
