Hello community....
First post.
I began this project with 2 goals in mind: 1 -completely model a hard-surface character in Zbrush without falling back on the old 3dsMax crutch; 2 -use Substance Painter for every single material whilst texturing 47 different high-poly decimated parts(plus environment elements) with the final output being the Vray renderer utilising SP's Vray preset.
I believe I achieved both goals, and because Substance Painter made the texturing process extremely efficient, for me, the texturing was a success. In the past using older workflows texturing a character like this would have been a massive undertaking for a personal project -as I didn't want to just render passes and 'cheat' in PS by painting over the renders - I wanted to completely texture the entire character as if it were a production asset.

I'm just going to post SP specific breakdown pics here but the full breakdown of my process can be found on the Polycount forums, if anybody is interested.
