Purple Alien 2D Illustration

uistudios — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 04:24:09 +0000

Check out my latest 2D character, in case you can’t tell its a purple alien… sort of a mix between a classic purple genie and a graffiti like art you might see on some brick wall… ha ha! I drew this guy on my iPad with the Apple Pencil using my favorite vector app called “Graphic“

The reason I like Graphic, is because it allows me to draw a line then go back and move it, or change its settings like width and shape… I also love a list of presaved brushes or strokes that you can use giving the strokes amazing variety and style. Once the lines were finished i sent it over to my laptop and used Adobe Flash to add colors, shading, shadows…etc.

From Flash I simply exported the image as PNG but its 100% vector art. Even the cool glow effect was done in flash using overlay blend mode.

I think he turned out pretty cool, hope you like him as well…

Set Your Reference Image in zBrush using Spotlight

uistudios — Mon, 16 Nov 2015 01:15:31 +0000

There are a few different ways you can add a reference image to zBrush. But the one that I personally like the best is by using the spotlight feature. It allows you to add any number of images over your work area and conveniently hide or reveal it whenever you need to view your reference. Check out this short 2 min zBrush tutorial and try to use this method in your own work pipeline.

Please share your own experience and feedback below! Happy sculpting!!! =)

Video Tutorial on How to perform Boolean Operations in zBrush 4R7

Sometimes when you model in zBrush you need to perform boolean operations… you can of course use any insert brush and hold down the alt key to subtract shapes but sometimes you need precise size and position. This tutorial will show you how you can carefully and precisely position your shapes and create some amazing effects using Booleans such as shape subtraction, intersection and addition!

Creating a Cartoon Creature in zBrush 4R7

uistudios — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 22:39:33 +0000

Hey guys, this week I modeled a Cartoon Creature in zbrush 4R7. I built this using Dynamesh and zSpheres.

Here is the detailed dynamesh sculpt:

Once the body was complete, i moved on to adding more subtools such as teeth, eyes, nails, tongue and horns!

Next, was the fun part of polypainting and adding more little details… using alphas

After that, I unwraped the character using uvMaster and moved on to Maya for rigging and animation. Here is the low poly mesh after it was zRemeshed. I am pretty happy with the final poly count at 3,487 faces. I brought the subtools (teeth, tongue and horns) as separate meshes using goZ, and recreated the nails using a simple box in Maya in order to keep the geometry clean and low poly.

This is the final unity 3d animated model:

If you have questions or comments please post below.
