In this video we are going to do a full 3D work flow for a Wild West prop, in this case a cast iron frying pan.
We will model and UV the Low poly model in Maya 2018, create the High poly model in ZBrush 4R8 and finally texture in Substance Painter.

@@MHTutorials3D Absolutely great. Since I'm slowly approaching Zbrush and Substance, it's always exciting to see you tackling those topics. Especially in a full workflow. For example, Zbrush's interface it's still too clunky for me, even moving around the model it's a pain in the @XZ. So, I prefer to cover the basics with your easy-to-get style videos.

He could do that directly in the zbrush, when subdiving the mesh, and instead of saving the "basic" low-poly, he could save we a little more subdivisions right?

Thanks for the great and quick tutorial on full workflow! Question 1: Would you recommend straightening the UV islands that are curved? For example for the surrounding part of the pan? Question 2: Would you put some UV islands inside others (like a circle if it fits into the ring UV island) or keep them separate? Thank you!

Hey Tomsonjo, well to answer your question 1. If the object had a different material on it like checkers, striped wallpaper etc, for sure !! 2. If they did not touch, everything stayed to proper scale and it saved me space, sure

A very detailed tutorial as usual! One question: the edge of the pan looks jagged, and if I want it look round in game, I should add more faces to it, right? But you mentioned that would be too much for a pan 24:37. So what would be a better solution? Thx in adv!

@MHTutorials3D 5 жыл бұрын

You could add more subdiv to the circular part of the pan and do not put a hole in the handle. A Pan like this would be ok under 800 or 900 polys

I am pretty confused about my prop . I have done my low poly prop very well even UV is well organized. But don't know where to get high level realistic details in zbrush (due to don't know zbrush). So I really want advise from you to guide how to get start in zbrush for high level details. I just want general ideas or guidance to keep in mind when we use zbrush. And general workflow like after importing low poly mesh what to do next like sub division after that polygroup etc etc .

You don't need ZBrush. You can make a high poly model in Maya too and use that to bake the normal map

@felbombling3199 5 жыл бұрын

Curious, Mike. Why didn't you use smooth mode for the low poly frying pan? Would it not look better without the points all the way around, or is that something to do with the bake and requirements I'm not sure of?

@MHTutorials3D 5 жыл бұрын

Smooth increases the polycount without me having control over it and I wanted to keep it very low poly to fit the scene.

@Emi-pj3bc 5 жыл бұрын

No, He's talking about smooth shading on the lowpoly model, wich could help to bake better normals. And yes, if you use it correctly, will make your normals look perfect. Anyway is a good tutorial but with a lot of mistakes. For example, is much easier to model a highpoly object inside Maya and taking away the subdivision (to get your lowpoly almost directly) instead of using your lowpoly on zbrush.

@MHTutorials3D 5 жыл бұрын

I assume you are talking about softening edges, a very different thing than smooth shading. As for workflow, just because it is different does not mean that it is in error.

@JohnSmith-wk4xy 4 жыл бұрын

Yes it's an error, you should smooth every edges inside a UV island on the low poly.

Game Hub by doing so you are only projecting the high poly on the low poly so its kind of an illusion used for video game so you can stay low poly as much as possible with high poly looks

Hey Mike I have a questino I cant seem to find an answer on. For modern games is it common for a first person gun to bel split up into multiple objects with their own uv grids? Games like black ops 4 have some really complex weapons that must come with a ton of uvs. I have a pretty complex shotgun I modeled and I have absolutely maximized the uvspace for it, but even in 4k I get extremely low res bakes, but obviously scaled up my uvs fixes that issue completely.

Why use the layout tool if you do it manually afterwards again? Check out the options of the UV layout tool regarding scaling and rotation, will save you time.

It is a tutorial, it is not about speed, it is about understanding the process. I use Layout as an inbetween step so people know what layout does. Repetition is key. When people understand they can work on speed.

It's good to teach the process, but you should also teach about the workflow improvements the tools you use can provide. In another video you 'complained' about the layout tool not respecting the 3D size of the UV shells; but this is just an option in the tool...

Your missing the point it is not about the model and how it looks it is about the workflow the rest is up to your knowledge on how you subD the model.
