Hi Jay
Been fun fishing for small stuff with a float (that might change as some fieinds have caught a 35lb,27lb and other doubles carp on a day ticket water today I will let you know the name of it if you want). think the work flow in the past would be base mesh in maya then to zbrush then back to maya...............dave

Hey Dave

sounds great, yes let me know. I was going to go today for a spot of carp fishing but the weather is just not doable right now

Had I built the basemesh in maya first then yeah I would of done it the other way but these characters are purely from a zbrush dynamesh sphere...no maya. They are/were purely for concept. But I was pretty pleased with the way they turned out so I will convert them to a polymesh and use zremesher to obtain some decent geo...Then I will tidy that in maya then bring back into zbrush to reproject the details...

Theres so much choice on how to do stuff, its just a case of finding your own thing..

hope that helps

Jay
