Composing a final render in Photoshop

We will start by spending 30 minutes to customize our workflow in Zbrush so we could work much faster and efficient. Then we will make the female head where i will explain what you should watch for in a female head modelling. Then we will make a placeholder hair, which will be good enough for more cartoon base render. Then we will make the teeth, and eyes from scratch. After that we will make the female body, again from sphere, following our concept. After we are done with our female body, we will start making 3D sketch of our model, to get the correct placement of all our accessories and clothes, this is a pretty important stage in the end of which we will have very good idea how our model will look when it’s finished.

Then it will be time to start extracting clothes, belts and other pieces of clothing. We will also make a brush which will make the placement of all those small metal parts like belt buckles, very easy and fast. After that we will start refining all those things that we have made, and the model will start to look pretty good. Then it will be time to do the dagger and the sword separately, and add them to the scene. Once we are happy with the overall look of our character i will show you how to make good hair with fibermesh in Zbrush. Finally we will pose the character, export render passes from Zbrush, and compose a final beauty render in Photoshop.
