I'm getting more comfortable with Maya > ZBrush > Substance Painter for low poly/high poly bakes. These full workflow tutorials are really helpful, always glad to see them.
This is really helpful. the way you extruded the object in order to add thicness is very simple and saves a lot of time! at first I would duplicate the fact and try to manually append the missing faces and experience flawed meshes. I learned a lot from this video thank you so much!
Mike, i think you had to soften inner and outer vertical edges of body before exporting lowpoly fbx to SP. In this video you have got pretty sharp edges in inner surface, even after baking normal maps🤔
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?
@@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.
Thanks alot sir... Your tutorials are so helpful for everyone.. &beginners like me also😘✌✌... Love from India and make more tutorials... Thankuuu so much again
how would i do this in a quad layout? doing this for a mudbox project and was told that the triangles on the bottom of the pan wont work well in mudbox for sculpting
Just started with maya have been binge watching your vids thanks heaps ive learnt alot, could you make a tut on a boxing ring with physics on the rope?
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!
if i want to take substance painter textured file to Maya i had done as per you video but i want to apply substance painter texture in Maya how should i please ans
Don't know if you answered this question already, but is there a specific reason that you put a Low Poly and High Poly version in Zbrush? And is the LP in Zbrush different from the one in Maya, if the answer is yes, how so?
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
hi, thx for the tutorial. btw @ 2:40 how do i extrude ? i'm using 3ds max .which sub object mode do i have to be in to extrude like that? where do i select?
If you're building a scene, (in my case the interior of a cabin in Maya), which have several items inside it, do you have to export every single one of them separately to Substance Painter?
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 .
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...
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?
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.
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.
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
Hello Mike, I wondered if you could help me, I build in blender and I want realistic textures for my builds in second life, for example, plane skins/textures like for a 747... I texture quite well but not good enough as I wish my models to be as realistic as possible. Are there any tutorials on the subject and can you direct me to the correct path in this matter...
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.
@@MHTutorials3D Would it be typical for modern games like battlefield and call of duty and battlefield to have guns split up into multipe objects with their own uv grids? My uv are extremely tightly packed, but the gun has so many parts even then the pixels per uv is so low all of my bakes just look awful.
thats not what he ment, your work quality is extremely poor, even for a low poly, this is beyond piss poor and needs way more attention, even on the low poly, the low poly doesnt even have its hard and soft edges set, let alone the texturing which is basically smart mats applied and left as is.
hey mike. you have some nice tutorial on maya and substance painter. can you help me. how can i save or export a fbx or obj file with custom uv in maya 2018. i means when i save a file as fbx or obj in maya 2018 and import it in substance painter it only paint the default uv grid of maya not the custom grid of maya.

finally, the best explanation how to add details in Zbrush :) many thanks for sharing
Omg this is exactly what i was looking for since past few days. Thankyou so much❤️
thanks for showing us the workflow Mike, it's really appreciated
Thanks Carlton
Lovely video, very simple and with a good detailed explanation. I wish more 3D artists would show their workflow and process like that!
Very welcome
Thank you for your tutorials! I'm a beginner, and your videos are very helpful and easy to understand
Happy to hear that!
Thank you😊
This is going to be good, I love full workflow tutorials. Gonna watch it immediately.

awesome as usual . Thank you .
Thank you Silva
Thank you sir, that helps a lot.:)
great tutorial! now all that maps you can export it to Maya add subdiv on it and render it?
Yep
Can you explain it better? I think ou also noticed the roughness of the high divisions, right? I was wondering how to fix it.
Hello. Great Tutorial! Could you do a new video about this workflow and maybe include Unreal Engine? Thank you.
Very helpful thanku you add more tutorial about z brush brushes using sir 😊
I will
Great tutorial, though I struggle with edges, how did you get this nice bake on top edges of cylindrical part, any special topology there?
Just started with maya have been binge watching your vids thanks heaps ive learnt alot, could you make a tut on a boxing ring with physics on the rope?
If you exported this from ZBrush as an OBJ file, how do you have UVs?
Because .obj files contain both geometry data and UV data.
The zbrush file will act as a texture for more details, but the uvs will be taken from the original lowpoly version
can you please continue this video to export textures and place in maya,,,
please i am confused about export and placed textures in maya.
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!
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
if you work in maya, select those edges and then click "soften edges" it will work fine :)

is there a way to model in Rhino, then set up the UVs in Maya?

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

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

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

Sorry noob here. How do you export back to maya for rendering?

export??.. mosaic.. how import??..

@@codyjacobs3314 Cody, I replied but did not hit enter for some reason. Yes, typically if the textured need to high res they would split them up
@@MHTutorials3D Ah ok that makes a lot of since, I was having some really low res bakes on my model so that clears things up a lot, thank you Mike!
you must add subtitle in your video.
