An Ice Warrior from the Patrick Troughton Doctor Who story ‘The Seeds of Death’ (1969). The original base mesh was made in blender with the added sculpting and texturing done in ZBrush. The blend file Download (5.5MB) contains the texture map and normal map.

This is a high detail model with materials not suitable for quick renders.

The ZBrush model has been exported as a low resolution obj file and imported into blender. The objects have been UV mapped and included in the blend are colour, normal and displacement maps (2048 x 2048). Download the blend here (3.9MB).

The 9th doctor has now had the modelling completed and textured. The texturing is not great but I think works. I've also posed the model and added a sonic screwdriver prop. All the modelling and texturing was in ZBrush. I now need to figure out how I can transfer it to blender with UVs for the shader, displacement and normal maps. It currently consists of 31.5 million polys. I think I made it difficult for myself just using ZBrush, next time I'll use ZBrush and blender together.

I usually use blender for 3d modelling but this is the first project where I’ve started using just ZBrush for making the base mesh to final texturing. I’m using this as a project to learn how to use ZBrush so it’s going to be a slow process. It’s currently just a work in progress but I’m aiming this to be the basis for future Doctor Who characters.
