Lab Three: Jewelry


For the third lab, we were focused on using what is called Panel Loops, a function in ZBrush which works right off of Polygroups. A good way to think about it is taking separate groups in your mesh and adding edges, or panels, between them with a bevel. As well, you can take a flat mesh and build it out into a full 3D form. In these pictures, I made the Ring of Blades from Dark Souls 2. The engravings are all from simple panel loops. I just had to draw the shapes out, make sure there was no extra mesh, and run the tool. There is also the Stone Ring I tried making first, but it did not turn out as well as I had hoped.
