I also unwrapped the model to make it ready for texturing (Fig.03).Īfter that I exported it back into ZBrush, divided it a few times and started working on some fine geometry. Fig.02 shows the results both with and without turbosmooth on. Then I exported it into 3ds Max and made some fixes where needed - cleaning the geometry and refining it even more.

With the ZSpheres I sought the right proportions then turned them into an editable mesh and started defining the geometry (Fig.01).įig. I started with ZSpheres in ZBrush 3.1 - which is a great tool, especially now that version 3.5 has been released. I tried to create a zombie that everyone would want as a pet and would love to feed with all the stuff the zombies love to eat (brains?).

I didn't want to lose all the opportunities that a more cartoony approach gave me - like Franky sitting on his tail as if in a rocking chair, or using such deformed proportions. At first I wanted to make a more realistic-looking image with less saturated colors, but quickly changed my mind after drawing a sketch. Well, there's a skeleton in everyone's closet, you know. Nobody ever wrote any books or shot movies about him - his existence was a disgrace to all of his relatives. A freak and an outcast, hated and despised by his own family for being a vegetarian and preferring broccoli to brains. So I drew a character called Franky - a younger brother of the famous Frankenstein monster. Zombies game - why are zombies always composed of parts taken from the same species, it's so boring! These cute creatures surely deserve more, so I decided to make my own zombie and make it more creative by combining parts of different living (or should I say dead?) beings. The idea for this work came to me after watching some zombie movies and playing the brilliant Plants vs.

Greets everyone! My name is Yaroslav Primachenko and in this Making Of I will tell you about my last 3D work called 'A zombie in the closet'.
