👉 Watch the full series to see the entire pipeline — from CC5 to ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, and Marmoset Toolbag 5.
In this first video, I start the character creation process directly inside Character Creator 5 by building a custom base mesh.You’ll see how I adjust proportions, push the silhouette, refine facial features and set the overall direction of the character before taking it anywhere else. This stage is all about establishing personality and creating a clean, flexible foundation that will hold up in ZBrush, Substance Painter and finally Marmoset Toolbag.
🧩 Techniques covered: CC5 morph tools, mesh refinement, proportion adjustments, prepping a clean base for sculpting
🎨 Goal: A solid, custom CC5 base mesh ready for ZBrush sculpting in Video 2
