Need some advice on pillar detail.

Well it all depends, do you want clean topology or just a block that's been sculpted to death? If you're just learning zbrush (starting today) you might get it done a LOT faster directly in max with splines and poly work.

Thanks for the reply Autarkis,

Yeah, I want a fairly clean topology as it will help when baking the normal map. I started going through the zbrush tutorials earlier, did up to the vase creation on the zbrush site. I reckon it would be alot easier for me to make it in max, I definitley dont have the zbrush knowledge or skills to sculpt something like that.

Once I make it in max though, I'll bring it into zbrush and add some cracks etc, shouldnt be to hard. Its trying to create the flow of the shape with a clean topologly for it in max. Thats the bit im trying to figure out now.

Thanks again for the reply.

Yep. Creating it with clean quad topology in max will be a lot simpler. Plus you can just duplicate those leaves and position them around your top pillar with a nice ffd modifier. Good luck with that and zbrush!

Hey,

Thanks again for the quick reply, and the tip about the ffd modifier.

Cheers.
