Making folds on low-poly clothing - ZBrush Tutorial
From the course: ZBrush: Tips & Tricks
Making folds on low-poly clothing
- Making folds in clothing for 3D printing or still renders is one thing because you don't have to worry about polygon limits or topology so much. As long as it looks good, it is good. But when making believable folds in clothing for low-poly characters, like in games and cartoony animation, there are some limits that you run into. In this video, I'll show you some ways of making great clothing and wrinkles in Zbrush without having to add more than a few extra polygons.
