Description
I thought I'd put this up while going though my bazillion messages, It's actually been done for while now.It's the result of wanting to try something a little more serious in Zbrush, which I'm very happy with because I understand the basics better now like adding 3D texture. This guy did have colour but I scrapped it because it was pretty overpowering and you couldn't see the details in the end, maybe I'll go back and paint him at some point.
The metal plate on his head is supposed to look sorta like beaten metal, blacksmith style? Yea.

lovely!
have you tried using mudbox instead of zbrush?

No I have not!

Mudbox is pretty much the same as Maya to interface with. It's not built around pixols like ZBrush: it is full 3D, but still renders almost as many polys with no problem.
It also offers a lot more in the way of tools for texturing, actually using your UVs and posing tools to boot.
It's sorta like ZBrush meets Deep Paint but in full 3D. Mudbox won't have as many fancy shaders as ZBrush and the best results will come from importing a mesh and then sculpting off of it, so if you are used to zspheres instead of building a base cage there will be a learning curve there.
Basically, it's less shiny but a lot more functional.

I've never actually used Maya before, partly because I can't get my hands on them, mostly because I can't get my head round 3D modelling using meshes. Blender is probably the closest I've gotten to attempting it, but even then I just couldn't work any of it out.
Though I did find zbrush a nightmare at first to work with, I gave up on the trial when I first got that but came back to it a few months later and decided to buy it after I figured its features out a little more.
