Rigging is done

I just finished rigging my character and I am now off to posing it. I am running into similar problems just like my schoolmates with too high polycount and posing it afterwards... It takes waaaaay too long to move even a little bit... will sort that out in the upcoming days. This is for today. As of now I have been in one room, on one chair, in uni for a total of 15 WHOLE HOURS... without coffee!...

If I don't make Zbrush crash in an ugly way...who will :D

Soon to rig

90% finished with my sculpt...i mean, probably not a lot of people would agree that this is 90% but for my goals and for the time I have... yeah :D

Lucky crash

It's always nice when Zbrush leaves u a funny image just before crashing.. It's like the world doesn't hate you THAT MUCH..

Oh yeah, I managed to regain some work back

I still lost quite a couple of files and saves.. plus my hard drive officially doesn't work anymore... goodbye 120 gig of projects and personal work.

Pants

I AM CURSED

LITERALLY CURSED. WORST LUCK EVER.
I was doing my body on another computer because I was waiting for my head to Zremesh back on mine and as everything was going well .... BAM! KARMA!

I almost finished the body and the pants. Only wanted to work on the body a little bit more, add noise to the pants and go back to my computer where I had the leather alpha and the skin pores. I saved everything to my hard drive and deleted the files from the computer that i had been currently working on. I unplugged my drive, went back to my computer and THE DRIVER DIDNT WANT TO BE RECOGNISED ..... As I was panicking and seeing myself failing the subject I saw my opportunity with the person next to me who had his own laptop. I asked if I could go on it so that I can get my files from my driver but UNFORTUNATELY he was a mac user too and my driver did not show to his computer, as well. He did tell me that he had the same problem before and the reason for it was because my hard drive is compatible with PC but not with Mac.....
These are some of the remaining screenshots from what I had saved but nearly not finished yet. ...what terrible luck i have
I will go home now so that I can get my files from my laptop to another hard drive that i have but time is pressing on me....

Terrible, terrible luck I have....

I did not believe depression existed for a carefree and happy person like me... BUT HERE IT IS

After 4 hours of trying to Zremesh this and just JUST AS I GOT TO 99% IT CRASHED...4 HOURS..................

It's gonna be something like this

Pants are not easy to make

For some reason I left the clothing and the stitching of the body last and... I have made a big mistake...
First of all it's not easy to make pants AT ALL
And second, merging body parts from different project files is just a big paint in the @ss.

Here's the results:

FINALLY

When everything goes wrong, at least you can do things like these...

Head is finally done (ish)

Have you ever experienced a variety of negative feeling towards something that that you find very fascinating?... that's what Zbrush is to me...

New

How many different heads must i do to accomplish the final result? Currently 4..

For some reason I have done something with my light so the rendering comes out like this....Sorry

You know you have to save when...

Head is ready

Fixing some little mistakes

Last time I forgot to add the pores and the noise

Also, on a separate note, I am still publishing screenshots instead of renders because I don't know how to get the render to render the way I want (#everydaystruggles)

Rendering went bad:

FiberMesh

From now on I will appreciate when boys say that it took them an hour to make their hair.... grooming was probably the hardest part. Also i have still yet to see from where i can modify/change the color of the fiber mesh AFTER I have applied the changes, i couldn't figure it out.

In conclusion, I will not be a good barber!

Progrss

P.S. I tried sculpting ears but for the likes of me I just can't....
Not that I am giving up, they have not won the war but for now I have lost the battle..

Eyes

Definitely needs a whole lot more of practice but at least now I have 'em eyeballs in place. I waned to try painting on the model so I gave him blue eyes but now I see what a horrible mistake I've made. Plus for some reason my model is yellowish now... I have no idea how that happened... HELP!

Anatomically correct head

In comparison to what I had done before:
