UV Unwrapping in Zbrush not working?

Yes, I am having a problem UV unwrapping my head in Zbrush
It takes way to long (more than 10 minutes) so I end up having to force quit the program. I have not found a solution for this problem but will look into in if I have the time. Unfortunately I will be unwrapping with Maya.

Boot Retopo

Finished

Shoes

Better late than never

He is smooth

Hands topology

I do understand that this is not the best topology, but is it all quads? Yes! Would it animate well? Probably!
(Self tip: this helped me quite a lot! i even felt like giving the person 5 dollars but then I   remembered that I am a student.

Update on body 2

Retopo on the body

Pardon the strange topology on the chest, I will fix that later

Update on the pants

Pants retopo in maya

Retopo of head done! Now what follows?

The head retopo is done and I believe that there are only 2 triangles in there! It is not the most perfect topology but I am still learning.

This was my first time retopologizing a character as a whole. I wanted to try and learn the basics of how to do it in Zbrush, although I knew that doing it in Maya would have been probably faster. I have basic Maya skills and will rely on them for the body but knowing how to do it in Zbrush, I think, was a good learning path!

Now, I did say that i will use Maya for the body but because my pants have way too many folds, I separated them, decimated them (because they had a polycount of 12 million) and Zremeshed them. Now as they are like this, they will be exported into Maya and from then onwards build a topology based on the Zremesh.

Almost done

The neck needs retopo and then I'm going to be done with the head!

Hahahahahahahha

*starts crying*

I am so proud of my ears// Everything is quads!!

Ear topo

Probably the hardest thing to figure out

THIS SOLVED ALL MY PROBLEMS

No, this is no click-bate!

I had 2 big problems while retopo the face in Zbrush:
#1 My point would not stick to each other
and
#2 My points would sometimes not move when I was in 'W' move

So the solution is to:

#1 Use a slightly bigger brush (usually 2 or 3 would do the job)
and
#2 Unmask the vertices

Edit on Eyes

I managed to do the eyes the way I want to

I even managed to make them transparent the way they should be as well

(tip: I played with the Global Ambient//Global Diffuse//Global Specular a little bit)


P.S. I hope this works for a middle-aged Necromancer!

Eyes

I gave the eyes a try and i sorta managed to get them working. I made the transparency from the first time but I can't get to make it a little bit brighter.

Btw, the pack for the eyes is from: Zbrushguides.com

Edit #2 on Retopo

Kids..... this is how your retopo SHOULDN'T look like!
Sadly, I have too many triangles and things sticking out of everywhere... I can't start a new one (again) so I have to make this thing work!

Edit #1 on Retopo

Apparently symmetry DOES matter... It took me quite a long time to understand that and I had to abandon my old retopo and start a new one... and I don't even have the luxury to take a break, not to mention starting again...

Also, on a personal note, if you are having problem with symmetry not being...well, symmetrical, try exporting ONLY the head as an obj, then fixing it from the 'Transform' menu and THEN starting the retopo!

Starting to Retopologize

After understanding that ALL my files on my computer have been terminated and spending a solid 45 minutes trying to get them back I switched computers and started finally retopologizing the face using Z spheres

Finished sculpt

only shoes are needed... and to put the gun in his hand... and so much more work on the overall model but there is no time

Done with posing

As the title goes:

And with details on the hands:
