After the high-poly model is made, it cannot be directly imported into the game engine or animation software for use, because there are too many polygons in the high-poly model, so I have to topology the high-polygon model to the low-polygon model before use. I did not use maya to make the low-polygon model when topology objects like whiskers. Instead, I copied the same model in zbrush and used the zremesher tool to rewire the model to fewer polygons. Then I used the Move brush and the transparency tool to adjust the match between the low poly model and the high poly model so that I didn’t have too much deviation when baking later.

In this step, I use the alpha function to import the image and place it on the object

When sculpting the shoes I still referenced some of the shoe styles and folds of the Watchtower characters, but after sculpting the shoes I decided that most Vikings wore shoes with hair on them, so I used the extract function to extract a base model and then sculpt the hair.

I often use the extract function when sculpting objects on the character’s body, I draw a mask on the surface of the character’s skin and then extract the model before sculpting, including trousers and shoes, I use this function to blockout objects on the character’s body and then sculpt on top of the base model.A lot of time was spent on sculpting the folds of the trousers, when researching Overwatch characters I would refer to their trouser folds, I intended to sculpt the folds directly rather than using fabric mock-ups as this would be more in keeping with the Overwatch style.
