Hi, first off, thank you for the support and kind words. Second of all, yes you can both. The way I would do it but only wrap certain aspects of the model is mask it off. That way you're only wrapping parts that are not masked.

@@somuch3d Thank you for the info! I have udims on my mesh and it is polygrouped based on uv. I guess hiding polygroups might work like masking. Definitely will give it a try. Just finished the sculpting & UV unwrapping phase, currently looking into texturing step. Wrapping/projecting and procedural generation are two relatively easier methods I have run into.

@@somuch3d lol, I have tested out both masking/hiding methods, and ended up redoing the mapping 3 times on the scanned head. I'm writing feedback here so anyone else run into this situation might skip the headache. We're morphing the scanned head into the shape of our own sculpted character, and therefore, the scanned head cannot have hidden parts. To avoid wrapping unwanted parts such as mouth bag, we need to mask it off, but DO NOT hide it away by polygroup selection. If anything is hidden away, ZWrap can wrap successfully, but the scanned head will not change shape after exiting ZWrap menu. For our own sculpted character, it's safe to hide part of it by polygroup selection, since we're not changing the shape of it. For example, I have a full body character, and I can hide away the body and the mouth bag, only keep the head displayed.

Thank you!

nevermind found your Twitch channel..thanks brooooooooooo

Hi! Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to hear you found it helpful!

Thank you for the kind words and support

Thank you so much for saying that! It's been a couple of years but I'm still really happy with how he came out. Definitely one of my fav projects.

@@somuch3d it just showed up since all the news with Sabretooth in deadpool 3 has been confirmed but man you sir out did yourself. He's my favorite marvel villain

Thank you! LOKI was awesome. Totally inspired me to makes this and capture the moment of Glorious Purpose! Thank you for watching and support.

@@somuch3d I am truly grateful to you. I found you while looking for a zwrap workflow. I think it was a tutorial using zwrap and projection, and it was really realistic. Thank you for sharing your core workflow with others. I still can't use the vface source properly, but I won't give up.

I'm honored to help and equally grateful for the support. If you have artstation or ig, send me a message and perhaps i can help out further or see what issue you're having. Again, thank you for the support. Always a pleasure to share and talk art.

@@somuch3d thank you sir, I just follow your instagram. have a great day

Hello! I'm glad you like her! Thank you for watching and thank you so much for the kind words and support. It really means a lot. 🙏🏼💙

@@somuch3d You are welcome! All the best for future projects

I'll say this, it takes time and a lot of patience to do or learn anything you're passionate about. But It's never too late to starr and there's an infinite amount of resources to learn from. 🙂

Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I'm glad you liked Madelyne Pryor!

Thank you for your comment and question. Yes, easy solution. Mask off the area like the mouth so it's not included in the wrapping process. I forget to do this sometimes as well. 😉

@@somuch3d yeah I've solved thanks, i'm new to zBrush, I moved from Blender recently, zBrush UI make me crazy. Thanks for your answer!

Absolutely. Yes, the zbrush ui can be a bit jarring at first but customization really helps make it your own. Happy zbrushing and thank you again for your support!

Thank you so much for the kind words and support!

What do you mean by "good use"? Games can't be this detailed for another 5+ years without crashing frame rates. Most the independent artists are showing off static 3D models. Put that level of detail and rig it up in a game while moving and FPS would take a serious hit. That being said there are a few games that show off what UE5 can do like ArcheAge II / State of Decay 3/ The Witcher 4 to name a few.

Nothing a little research can't clear up, friend. I'd recommend Looking up a list of games developed using unreal 5 and the list of games currently being developed. Not to mention the numerous companies currently using metahuman characters and shaders. Considering the list of games created using unreal 4, it's safe to say, the next 10 years could widely use 5. Plus the countless industries using unreal as a destination hub for media and display. I just wrapped work with 2 different game studios currently working with unreal 5. That said, this level of detail is not outside the new standards and spec level of next gen character creation. 250k tris 4 4k texure sets. Also, this character is rigged and posed. Plus, considering the character is the only mesh on screen, processing fine real time. Thank you for viewing and comments. Opening discussions and talking art is always fun for me. Cheers!

@@somuch3d Just curious, but could current "average" graphics cards like the Rtx 2080 or Rtx 3060 handle this level of detail fully rigged and animated in a game running 60+ fps? Seems like current games using UR 5 have a lot less detail in the people models/ environment which I thought was mostly due to hardware limitations.

Thank you for all the support and love from India! It really means a lot 🙏🏼💙 you know, i might have to do a hair live stream. It's a long process and could take a while but hey, could also be a lot of fun! I think If i do, it will be the same process i did. Zbrush, xgen, unreal.

If u want resources i am gonna give u

Hello and thank you for the kind words and support. As far as your question, normally at this stage, I've just created a new surface details that are transferred from a separate mesh. Thus changing the surface and with new topology. Which means no previous state for me to have saved a more target. That said, i do save a morph target with that tertiary detail/data so that i have it saved by painting it on a new layer. I hope that makes sense as i type it out, haha.

@@somuch3dthank you for reply. It's clearer now! :) When I project stuff on mesh, I store MT before projecting so when I'm fixing projected details morph brush returns to original mesh, cuz sometimes smooth brush wont fix it that well .Sometimes I cheat and I use smooth brush haha

I'm asking you a question because there aren't people to ask here.

you have to use the select polygons node to isolate polygons that you don't want to wrap and want to stay in position like the inside of the eyes and the mouth bag

Leoking is right. Another easy method is masking the area you don't want to wrap. Great question, i too have had the mouth bag transfer effortless sometimes and other times, not so much.

transfer details from one to another

Yeah, as the reply stated, we're transferring surface details from one mesh to another.

Hi! I use a wacom intuos 4 or a cintiq. I'm this video, I'm using a cintiq. 🙂

Hello! Thank you for watching and inquiring. I tend to zremesh a couple of times along the way of making my sculpt and reprojecting with cleaner geometry. This gets my details that I've made at that point but the geometry being subdivided is cleaner quads and edge flow. I also polygroup and remesh so that the polygroups are clean as well. 🙂

Thank you!

Hi! so sorry for my delay in response. I've actually tried doing that some thing before and it caused issues as zwrap didn't know where to put that geo and gave me wonky results. There are two solutions I would try. First one, mask the mouth in zbrush first before trying to wrap and that should prevent it from trying to wrap to geo that doesn't exist. My other would be, to detach or cut the edges where the mouth bag starts and zwrap the rest. Once you have a good wrap, stitch the mouth back. See if that works. Thank you for the support as well, my friend!

@@somuch3d it's ok, thank you, i will try with the trial version

Hi! Thank you for your question. So I was trying to not make a full zwrap demo since there are quite a few that can explain much better than me, I'm sure. Haha. That said, upon plotting points in zwrap on both respective models, it's a matter of pressing the "wrapping" button at the bottom and once at that screen, press "start wrapping" in the top left. I'll drop a link below for a quick demo of this. I hope this helps, my friend. 🙂

Thank you so much now I am able to transfer the details.. much appreciated 🙏

Hello and thank you for not only watching my video but for your question as well. So there are a few reasons for taking this approach. For some, it yields great results with less time. Also, typically in the gaming industry, working under in a collaborative effort with multiple departments and a production timeline, taking the time to create tertiary details and full custom skin details is a luxury you don't often have. So this alleviates much of that time. However, you still want the model to have its own identity or specific details that make it unique and not just a perfect skin match to scan data. So this helps create a blend of custom detail and fine tertiary details. Personally, when I have the time, I prefer to create /sculpt my own details. From wrinkles, pores and imperfections, I find it more rewarding and I enjoy the process. 🙂🤓

@@somuch3d thanks so much - will try these techniques soon!
