Fox Renderfarm, a leading cloud rendering service provider and render farm in the CG industry, will share with you the game props model produced by Maya. In this Maya tutorial, we will introduce how to create a game-style 3D model based on conceptual design drawings, from ZBrush carving to high poly and low poly UV texture production.The following is a brief description of the process of making 3D models of games. I hope that you can have some understanding of the models used in games.ConceptBefore making a model, there are usually some conceptual drawings as reference for making. In this case, you can directly put the reference drawing in the production software Maya as a reference.ModelingBefore importing into ZBrush for sculpting, you can first do some preparation work in Maya. If the model is relatively simple, such as stone, tree trunk, floor tiles, etc., they are relatively simple. You can use ZBrush to sculpt High Poly directly without making a Low Poly model. If the model is more complex, such as a biological model (animal or the like), you can make a Low Poly export OBJ file in Maya and sculpt it in ZBrush.ZBrushImport the low poly model into ZBrush for sculpting. From Blocking, make sure that the scale is appropriate. The most important thing is that the model does not deviate from the conceptual diagram. It is necessary to determine the overall ratio first, and then it is the part of some accessories, and finally the detail part. This process only uses the basic brush.RetopoThe number of model faces sculpted by ZBrush is very high, which may be as high as hundreds of thousands of faces, or even millions. Such models cannot be used in-game engines. Therefore, the high poly model sculpted by ZBrush needs to be topologically a low poly before it can be used in the game engine. The topology process uses a topology software TopoGun, TopoGun can help the model Resurfacing and Maps baking, and the details of the model will not be lost. If you are making a single static map, then the model does not need to rig bones, it is not necessary to make low-poly and Normal map.UVSAfter the topology is completed, it is the job of the UV. Normal maps can be baked after the UV is split. The UV can be organized using some plug-ins included in Maya, or can be produced using other software. You just need to expand them and adjust as needed. Try to be as reasonable as possible.Schematic diagram of UV deployment and placementNormal mapBefore bringing the model to Substance Painter, you need to bake the details of high poly onto the developed UV to make the texture. Baking and texture can be made using Substance Painter or Toolbag, especially Substance Painter has many tools and functions, which is very suitable for realistic and cartoon-like texture production.These textures represent different information such as Normal map, Specula, Hight, and Gloss. The higher the accuracy of the texture, the better the final display effect of the model.Import the baked texture into the most commonly used Substance Painter software to create PBR textures. Some parts can be adjusted using some preset textures, and then output different textures according to different needs.

CG character artist Nealxia shared his "Batman" project and explained in detail the production process of models, UVs, textures, renderings, etc.. Your TPN render farm and cloud rendering services provider, Fox Renderfarm hopes these experiences can be helpful to you.IntroductionBatman is a superhero under DC Comics, and in my heart, he has always been a shining image representative who grew up with me. The first time I knew Batman was the Batman game. I was immediately attracted by his mysterious, cold, dark temperament. I still like this role very much now, and I always look forward to the opportunity to do memorable work for my idol. Finally, I finished this work in my spare time last year, I hope you like it.ReferencesBefore I started, I collected a lot of material about Batman. The styles of the picture materials are both realistic and cartoon. In the end, I decided to use Nolan’s film "Batman: The Dark Knight" as the model since I really like this movie.Modelling:After determining the appearance of Batman, we must determine a basic model. I found one from previous projects as a basic model. If it’s too time-consuming to make from scratch, the best way is to use the resources at hand to apply what is suitable, and do it yourself if it’s not a proper one. Displacement pump or normal can be used in the production process to show the details of the model.The process of making Batman armor is done in Maya. After determining the approximate shape, the armor is added to the character model. Building these hard armor models in Maya is quite quick and convenient: first, create a plane, and then continue to extrude the edges of the plane model with the Extract Edge command, and continue to cut until you achieve the effect you want.

To continue with part 1 and part 2, Fox Renderfarm, the No.1 cloud rendering services provider and render farm, will still share with you the tutorial from the 3d artist Dong Chao of part 3 about how to build a mechanical warrior with Maya and ZBrush.LightingAdjust a simple POSE, and then add a scene used in the previous project to test the light rendering. A total of 5 lights were used in this project, 4 VRay Area light sources and one Dome light source. The Dome light source is mainly to add an HDR map inside. Normally, you can check Dome Spherical in the settings, and then add an HDR. Because the final effect is more to highlight the main body, so the intensity is reduced to 0.5.The other light sources are all adjusted in size and intensity color. One is the overhead light source, the other is the main light on the side and the two backlights. The final lighting effect is as follows.The final renderer uses VRay, and all elements in the scene use VRaymtl material. VRaymtl is very easy to use, it only needs simple adjustment to get good results. Especially for the character body, I used a VRayblend material and FastSSS+Vraymtl. In addition to the SSS texture of the character itself, I also wanted to adjust the highlights more delicately, so I superimposed the highlight texture directly on the highlight color of vraymtl. In order to speed up, I used the completed Normal texture to convert it with the Ndo plug-in, and converted it into a concavity and Ao texture, Then I copied the concavity to highlight the concave effect of the skin, and superimposed the previous color texture and adjusted it again can. And the Scatter texture in the SSS material is not drawn, only the color texture is used to modify. The following are the settings of the head body part and the shader of the highlight map,RenderingIn the final rendering, I improved the lighting quality and rendering quality, and replaced the body with a 3-level subdivision model in ZBrush, and then used a normal map. In the test, the normal details are displayed better and faster than using displacement maps.Finally, the rendering is divided into channels, and then adjusted using Photoshop. The resolution of the final image is 2.5K * 3K, and the rendering time is about one and a half hours. The following are the renderer settings, and the red box is the place that needs special attention.In the compositing stage, I added all the channel renderings to Photoshop for adjustment. I used the channels to refine the final effect, adjusted the depth of field blur, color adjustment, and superimposed a layer of dust and shadows.Final render：

This time, Fox Renderfarm, the best cloud rendering services provider and render farm, will share with you a ZBrush/Maya tutorial from the 3d artist Dong Chao, about how to build a Mechanical Warrior.Hi, this is Dong Chao. In this tutorial, I will show you the production process of making a mechanical warrior. The focus is on the combination of organic and inorganic matter in the model.Software used: Maya, ZBrush, Mari, UVLayout, Photoshop, and Ndo.The overall production time is about 3 weeks, of which the model production took 2 weeks, and the texture and rendering took a week.ReferencesThe collection of references is an important step. When creating this model, I collected the works on the Internet as references, mainly of various mechanical characters. In the design stage, I made a rough stitching diagram using these reference pictures, and then quickly carried out the detailed design of each part and character in ZBrush. Because there are many small parts, each part keeps as simple as possible. The coordination of completeness and proportions hopes that the roles will be integrated so that the post-production will be relatively quick and simple.ZBrushNow you can start to create the model, I made it in ZBrush. Because there is no specific reference picture, I had to use ZBrush's DynaMesh to start production from Zsphere. Starting with a simple shape, I made a basic body of a monster, and then slowly added details after determining the proportions. The next step was to copy the body to make the outer armor. The following were the brushes that I use frequently. Some of the brushes have been simply modified and then saved as default for use next time.The early sculpting process is relatively simple, especially ZBrush is a very easy-to-use software for me.In this step, I carried out some overall carvings on the pre-planned content and element structure, and then cut the model into different subtools, hiding some invisible places, so as to facilitate further conversion into ordinary multi-deformation for fine-tuning. As shown in the figure below, different colors represent one subtool.The body model is subdivided, and then the body part is directly carved into the final effect. And the mechanical part can be made according to your requirements. I didn't waste too much time in this step, because in the end, I have to use the hard-edge function to perform the topological conversion. The following is the final ZBrush design drawing.The final model in Zbrush and MayaThere are many ways to make mechanical armor because I have already made a shape in ZBrush, so I chose the appropriate method and used ZBrush for topology. And I modeled the small parts in Maya so that it can be copied and aligned conveniently, and most of the armor on the monster body will be hard-edged after topology in ZBrush.Firstly, add a ZSphere to Subtool, and then hide other objects, select ZSphere for topology. Do not use too many turning faces, just use the model to outline the shape, especially where hard edges are required. Precise the line, and then set the appropriate preview thickness. Remember to subdivide the preview to 1, and then you can get an object with a thickness similar to armor during the preview. Create the cut surface that needs hard edges, gives a polish smooth bottom edge at a relatively high subdivision level, and that's it. Finally, you can get some desired details through some methods such as Alpha, eage loop, or extrusion.Before making the details, I usually put these mechanical models into the Keyshot for metal texture adjustment and simple GI rendering tests to see if there are any problems with the model. The most important thing at this stage is not the details, but the turning point. The combination of some objects that are troublesome to make with hard edges in ZBrush can also be put into Maya for refinement. Of course, you can also operate according to your own habits.Final effects of the details,Stay tuned for part 2 and part 3.

Fox Renderfarm, as the best 3ds Max render farm and cloud rendering services provider in the CG industry, the tutorial we shared for you this time is from the 3D artist Thepoly, on how to use 3ds Max and Maya and other software to make a semi-realistic 3D game scene interior production process.This project uses the standard PBR process, using 3ds Max to complete the basic model building, and determine the object scale. Complete high poly carving in ZBrush, topology in Maya, baking in Marmoset Toolbag 3, Substance Painter to complete the production of PBR materials, and finally use Marmoset Toolbag 3 for rendering.Production processThe production is divided into three parts:ModelingMaterial productionRenderingModelingBefore production, determine what materials, what objects are in the scene, and the overall ratio, and then determine the production order according to the ratio. Most of the scenes are walls and stones and wooden furniture, so they are the key part of the production.Quickly build up their approximate proportions in 3ds Max. Complete the medium polygon modelAfter establishing the proportion of large objects, continue to build down the remaining objects in the scene. And further, enrich the details of the model. There are a lot of repetitive objects, just make a few different shapes. This does not seem to be too repetitive.Taking the above book as an example, many different types have been produced, which can reduce visual duplication.There are two fabrics in the scene, here is a pillow as an example，This product uses the cloth calculation that comes with 3ds Max. The specific process is as follows，Create blocking objects，Create a pillow basic model (the higher the number of segments, the better the simulation effect, but it also stuck).Squash and find the fabric in the modifier,Analog computingFinally, get a simple pillow model. (The folds of the fabric should be sorted out, the above is a simple demonstration. The curtains are the same, MD may have better results)Next, import the model into ZBrush for sculpting.Carving High PolyTake the wall and stone of the house as an example:After importing the medium-surface model into ZBrush, it is because of the irregular shape of the stone. You can use Dynamesh in geometry editing to edit the model.The No.1, No. 2, and No.3 brushes are used for large-scale carving of stones. The No. 4 brush adjusts the shape to prevent insertion. Finally, the No.5 and No.6 brushes flatten some edges and corners to make the structure hard. Thus reflecting the texture of the stone.The big idea of the wall is the same. Finally, use the noise in the surface, adjust the curve and noise ratio, etc. to simulate the graininess of the wall and the stone surface.Finally, add some details such as cracks and bumps to enrich the picture. Use the No. 6 brush mentioned above and press it again to achieve better results. (This part of the production reference is very important)Now follow the best cloud rendering services provider and 3ds Max render farm, Fox Renderfarm, to the next part: 3ds Max Tutorials: 3ds Max Tutorials: Semi-realistic 3D Game Scene Interior Production Sharing (2).

In this part, the best Maya render farm and cloud rendering services provider, Fox Renderfarm continues to tell you how to make an axe.Maya Tutorial: How to Make An Axe (1)When I feel that there is no problem with the overall shape, I can start the middle mold of the detailed blade part. Continue to refine the three structural parts that were just split.We have refined the structure of the three parts. At this point, the basic shape of the entire model has basically reached the structure in the concept map.If these details are attached to the basic structure, if it is not easy to make in Maya, you can use the advantages of ZBrush's rapid sculpting for quick sculpting.This stage is just a transitional model, there is no need to sense volume or sculpt, like some smaller details, I just quickly generated the basic shape attached to the details on the whole.These are very time-consuming if they are directly modelled in Maya or 3ds Max, so what we need is to use the advantages of each software to quickly achieve the final effect. The software used is not important, the effect is the final.The specific operation is also very simple:MaskingIf the generated thickness is too thick, adjust the thickness and generate againSeparation modelThen adjust the shape according to the original painting.We need to take the topologies of the models planned in ZBrush into low-polygon models and import them into Maya for further mid-model refinement. Finally, some detailed models such as nails and ropes are put on, and then the models are merged, and the preparatory work is done for the model carving. At the edge, I deliberately added some notches and bumps to make this axe look like it is often used.SummaryWhen making this model, there are more cumbersome parts. Don't be afraid. Just break the 2D concept map into many small parts, and then distinguish the priority and make it step by step according to the previous plan.Then sculpt some worn details to the model in ZBrush. Then you can go to ZBrush to carve some broken details. In this process, you need to pay attention to the overall structure and don't make too much detail. Do it first, then do it again, otherwise, the model will look too trivial.There are no details everywhere because they will distract the viewer. We only need to have relatively large damage in the distant view, middle-level details in the mid-range, and close-range views to see the texture of the details, and all the things can be combined to form a very beautiful model.When making a model, you will need to make the main character first, and then other accessories. The overall model's picture needs to be coordinated, instead of focusing all the energy on a broken sculpture. We need to use damage and details to set off the subject, not to make those details too attractive.By now you should know how to make an axe in Maya. We hope you can learn something from it.
