Hello fellow artists
This is another personal project i have been working on and usually these serve just as a practice for me to learn
I usually use Blender but for this one i wanted to experience with XGen as it is currently probably the best of it’s kind.
so in order to work with XGen i had to work with Maya and i used a different workflow.
the reason i post this in here is just to get feedback and opinion since this can be considered a work in progress and still there are things to improve/add. also this isn’t rigged yet.
Skin details were done in ZBrush and normal/displacement maps exported from it
Texture painting made in substance painter using exported maps
Clothes were designed in Marvelous Designer
and Hairs done with XGen in Maya and lighting and rendering with Arnold renderer
Also a little post production in photoshop using AOVs exported from Arnold
I used Blender to get a fast preview of textures (something like marmoset toolbag offers!) and that’s it.
this was my first experience with XGen/Maya and Marvelous Designer and they were great.
also to be clear you can do all of these just with blender or ZBrush and I think there are addons for blender hair that make it much better to create more complex hair styles
feel free to comment, criticize and write your opinion!
