ZBrush Workshops Ryan Kingslien takes a look at Cesar Dacol Jr’s sculpting workflow for creating dinosaur skin and scales on Cesar’s Dinosaur Sculpt with a great overview into the process of forms versus detailing over the course of the project. Check out the rest of the workshop opportunities at Creature Design R2 Workshops at CreatureWorkshops.
Ryan notes on his video: “In this video I look at Cesar Dacol Jr’s sculpting workflow for creating dinosaur skin and scales. The real debate with a subject like this is whether to use alphas or to manually sculpt. This time, I make the case for sculpting & designing these forms manually. The key term is “designing”. When you are designing you need flexibility and speed to get through iterations and to work out ideas fast. The speed and flexibility of Cesar’s method is, to me, one of the best ways to sculpt these details into a character.”
