What this service covers

I start with proportion and silhouette, then move through primary, secondary, and surface forms after each major stage is approved. The sculpt can be based on concept art, orthographic views, photographs, or an existing base mesh.

A high-resolution sculpt is not automatically ready for animation, a game engine, or printing. Retopology, UV mapping, texture baking, posing, splitting, and print engineering are separate stages unless they are explicitly included.

The final ZBrush tool and agreed mesh exports are supplied at the approved detail level. Likeness depends on reference quality and permission from the depicted person; exact biometric replication is not promised.

What's included

  • Concept-based digital sculpting
  • Staged silhouette and detail reviews
  • Organized ZBrush subtools
  • Agreed high-resolution exports

How the project works

  1. 01

    Scope

    We define the objective, deliverables, dependencies, and success criteria before production starts.

  2. 02

    Build

    You review working previews, so decisions are made against tangible output.

  3. 03

    Refine

    The agreed revision rounds are used to complete details within scope.

  4. 04

    Handover

    I deliver the agreed files, access, and practical usage notes in an organized package.

Frequently asked questions

Is a ZBrush sculpt ready for a game engine?

Not by itself. Games normally require retopology, UVs, texture baking, materials, and engine testing. Those stages can be quoted as a separate pipeline.

Can you sculpt a real person?

Yes, with permission and suitable multi-angle reference. Reference quality, expression, hair, and clothing affect the achievable likeness.

Can the sculpt be prepared for 3D printing?

Yes, but watertight geometry, wall thickness, part splits, tolerances, and printer constraints require a separate print-preparation stage.

Substance Painter Texturing

Substance Painter texturing gives an approved 3D asset a consistent PBR surface treatment and exports maps for the renderer or engine named in the brief.

Unity 3D Asset Preparation

Unity 3D asset preparation converts approved models into correctly scaled, organized, and tested prefabs for a specified Unity render pipeline and version.

Unreal Engine Asset Preparation

Unreal Engine asset preparation turns approved models into correctly configured assets for a specified engine version, platform target, and rendering workflow.

GLB and FBX File Conversion

GLB and FBX conversion translates a usable source asset into the requested format while checking geometry, materials, textures, scale, and animation support.

STL Model Preparation

STL model preparation repairs and validates an existing mesh for the scale, wall thickness, tolerances, and downstream process you specify.

3D Print Model Preparation

3D print model preparation adapts an approved mesh to the build volume, material, process, assembly method, and tolerances of your intended printer.
