The major change you&#8217;ll notice from the previous update is the feather treatment. On the old sculpt I used the snake hook tool to pull geometry out for the feathers. In the end I wasn&#8217;t happy with how this technique looked. For the final I created a few custom feather alphas. I would stamp a row of the feathers and then mask them off and pull out the next row, continuing this process until the entire chest was covered. For an initial foray into Zbrush I am happy with the results here, but I think that I need to learn more about the layers options and morph targets. The undo system seems somewhat tricky to work with and there were several occasions when it didn&#8217;t work at all. I also learned that my system can&#8217;t handle merging 3 different 13 million poly meshes. I&#8217;d chuck more RAM in, but I&#8217;m already at my boards 8GB max. I hope you all have a nice remembrance day.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.terrymatthes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/CrowFinal_persp2.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-imagelightbox=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2036\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/terrymatthes.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/CrowFinal_persp2.jpg\" alt=\"Final crow - perspective\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.terrymatthes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/CrowFinal_close.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-imagelightbox=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2034\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/terrymatthes.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/CrowFinal_close.jpg\" alt=\"Final crow- close up\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.terrymatthes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/CrowFinal_center.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-imagelightbox=\"2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2033\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/terrymatthes.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/CrowFinal_center.jpg\" alt=\"Final crow - centered\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.terrymatthes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/CrowFinal_persp.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-imagelightbox=\"3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2035\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/terrymatthes.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/CrowFinal_persp.jpg\" alt=\"Final crow - side view\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone, just posting some final shots of my crow sculpt after several long evenings.
