Recently completed sculpting and texturing the body my latest personal project. I learned some new techniques (and when I say “new” I mean new to me) to produce a more life-like model. I learned some techniques on sculpting believable anatomy. Also learned how to create a more life-like skin texture.
As for the texturing, I picked up on a technique to “layer” the skin. Basically working to have the “epidermis” be a bit translucent, much like real skin.
Although my Monster Creature Dude here is going to be the focal point of a new illustration, my intent with this sculpt was also to learn how to retopologize the mesh so this model could be used for animation and/or gaming. I realized that I couldn’t call myself a 3D modeler unless I knew how to do this.
