Hello everyone!
I’m excited to share my latest sculpting experiment — a full-on mechanoid character created in ZBrush , textured procedurally , and rigged & animated at high-poly resolution (~28M tris, 462 bones) — all while completely avoiding traditional retopology and manual UVs .
Main concept: The Mechanid Suit is an advanced fusion-tech combat system wielded by alien warriors during their invasion of Earth. It represents the aliens’ drive to merge their fusion technology with human engineering, pushing both to new extremes.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this no-retopo / no-manual-UV approach in a production-style rigging setup.
