Transpose, Masking, & Mesh Visibility

-

 Transpose- You can transpose your mesh in ZBrush by using either the Transpose Line or 3D Gizmo manipulator. This will allow you to move, rotate, and scale your model.

Masking- Masking temporarily protects an area, allow you to work nearby without accidentally editing it. To Mask, hold the CTRL key outside the model and drag a shape onto the model. This gives you a dark space that wont be effected by modelling. You can unmask with CTRL + ALT

Mesh Visibility- You can show and hide parts of your mesh to make it easier to work with. For example, you might want to work on just the head of a character – it makes sense to hide the body so you can concentrate on what you are doing.

hide mesh parts: hold shift + CTRL

subtract Visibility: hold shift + CTRL + ALT

reveal all: hold shift + CTRL

I decided to focus on the more realistic elements of this character over the fantasy and make a character that felt inspired by licences such as Assassin's creed origins (2017) and the Dune (2024) movie franchise. I also wanted to make the hidden face a key focal point of my character. I want a sense of uncertainty for my character and keep his moral identity unreadable from a first glance. A lot of the characters featured within Assassin's creed use interesting and unique looking weapons that match up with the design the rest of the character has.  Both of these franchises feature some really unique and interesting character design work that would work as ...

These games can be utilised for multiple purposes such as education, awareness or just general entertainment.  What inspirations did we study?   While creating plans for this game, we studied a few different pre-existing games to pull inspo from! We knew we wanted our project to have an underlying theme of psychological horror (Psychological horror focuses on the mental, emotional, and psycholo...
