Johnny Sorrow

For this piece I wanted to primarily showcase that I can make clothing for characters.
Due to the design of DC's Johnny Sorrow I thought he would be the perfect character to make.

This project took a bit longer whilst i learned a new work flow within unreal engine of making clothing assets for the engine and then being able to make the custom garments for metahumans wardrobe.

I had an issue of reimporting the posed quad mesh from unreal engine to ZBrush.
The way in which i fixed this was to rig the clothing using Character Creator 5. I fixed some of the weights in blender, then imported the posed meshes as morphs into ZBrush. Then sculpting over to achieve the final look.

unreal engine scene setup

I imported a metahuman to marvelous designer (hidden) as a base for making Johnny's Outfit

clothing asset added to unreal engines metahuman wardrobe to have the clothing skinned to the metahuman.

I then posed the character in unreal engine using the animation sequence to get the specific pose

I then brought the unreal engine metahuman to Maya so that it can be turned into a blend shape to make corrections to the clothing in Z-brush.

after discovering that my mesh from UE was triangulated. I rigged the clothing using cc5 in the end to keep the mesh topology consistent as a quaded mesh.

I then imported my mesh into blender to fix the weights of the rigged mesh and now it was ready for zbrush
