For this workshop, I’m going to guide you through creating a high-quality asset for a video game or movie – in this case a military-style walkie-talkie. We’ll cover the process of creating the high-poly mesh, using ZBrush to add fold details, the best practices for creating a low-poly mesh, getting the most out of your UVs, tips and tricks for getting high-quality bakes, and achieving photorealism in your textures. At the end of this tutorial, you should have a few extra workflow hacks on your belt, allowing you to create high-fidelity assets for your portfolio.
