Workflow.

Sure

Use voxel for block modeling, fast sketches... try to not surpass 1M by model. Voxel mode is equivalent to ZB dynamesh.

When your model is ok, switch to surface mode -pressing with LMB the V letter, it change to Surface-

At surface mode you can add more detail and the model is ready now to surface paint at Paint room -polypaint-

If you need very fine detal, use the set of Live Clay tools. Live clay tools are equivalent to Sculptris type modeling.

 

Take note, there isnt subdivision levels as Mudbox or ZB.

Yes you can work in proxy mode at any moment, but the common workflow is voxel, surface, live clay, retopo, bake, paint, export.

 

hope it help.

I would not go as far as saying only go up to 1 million voxels for blocking in. Voxels can be very effective up to medium details, the finer details left for surface mode. Garagarape Wip gallery models are all done in Voxels and his models look fantastic.

Voxels eat more system memory for sure but voxels are still wonderful to work with.

this is precious advice for newbies like me,

after watching so many tutorials, i was wondering why we had Surface and Voxels.

thanks
