That’s necessary for transferring all the small details to the wood and makes it a lot easier to work with, because you must trace the surface by hand on the machine later on. In Magics RP He define a wall-thickness and perforate the sculpture, so the dispensable powder can be removed after printing.įor production on the pantograph (see point 4 below) you need to work on a reference model that is at least twice as big as the final wood figurine. By doing that, you can get rid of the polygons at the inside of your model. Merge all subtools to a single subtool in ZBrush and turn the whole thing into a higres dynamesh (with the project function enabled to keep your details). You don’t have to use an external application for merging shells. Removing shells is necessary for giving your sculpture a wall thickness later on. He use Magics RP from Materialize to combine all shells to a single shell and to fix mesh errors, in case the model has any. Most of the time He merge all subtool before He export the geometry as an STL file with the “3D Print Exporter” plug-in. A super-highres mesh isn’t necessary for printing. When I’m done with sculpting, He make use of the “decimation master” plug-in and reduce the polycount.

A dynamesh will always force a closed surface by closing holes automatically. You can do that, by starting with a ZBrush primitive for your basemesh and turn it into a dynamesh. When He work with different subtools, He always make sure that the meshes are closed and watertight surfaces and intersecting with each other. Therefore it’s necessary to avoid thin parts that go across that wood grain. As you already know for sure, wood consists of fibers that growth in a certain direction. I’m able to change things based on client’s feedback quickly, with no need of making laborious changes on a clay model for instance. What He have to keep in mind is, that the outcome will be a physical object and in this case, an object made out of wood. ZBrush allows me to create and sculpt the model entirely on the computer from concept to final sculpture. In this post you will see the process of Ben’s Zbrush Model to a Wood Sculpture. He believe in sculpting is reliving a Renaissance through the transfer into the digital world and it’s exciting to be a part of it. He has a master’s degree in traditional wood carving. He worked on a freelance basis for many different studios and companies around the globe, like Ubisoft, Hasbro and Axis Animation etc. He started using Unreal Engine since 2012 and had worked in multiple indie game titles as a VFX artist.From a ZBrush model to a wood sculpture by Ben aka Selwyīen aka Selwy is a digital sculptor, specialized in high-poly modeling and sculpting.
