Rick Tylor Splatter House Finished Model ( Zbrush, Blender )

SO!!!Finally finished Rick's Model, after I finished Retopo in zbrush I took the model to Blender for attaching the pieces ( as  we said before its better to retopo piece by piece ) and UV unwrap as well.

took it back to Zbrush Projected the Details and exported the maps! and thought I was done! but a horrible thing have happened! check here for the Full story Lunch Crunch if you don't want to check, just remember to put the normal map on tangant space and when you save any map, check if its 8 Channels and not 16! okay!?

so! after Solving all the problems Finally finished that Bad ass! still some retouching needed to be done here and there, but I can call this final.

Render testing ( Blender ) Modeling and projection maps ( Zbrush )

so after 5 days of suffering with the technical stuff I finally made it !.
Complete Zbrush workflow 

Sculpting a highpoly model 
Retopo with Zsphere
High poly to Lowpoly Projection
and Maps ( normal, displacement and AO ) generating
all inside Zbrush
Render testing (Blender)

notes:
1-In retopo, breaking the mesh into parts will make things a lot much more easier, if the whole character is a single mesh you will make few mistakes and it will start getting furstrating.

2- retopo as close as possible to the original mesh for more effeciant projection.

3- Save your work damn it! you can Save it as a Ztool and won't face any issues when you get back to work on it, just don't panic when you can't edit it and remember to click on Edit topology to be able to do so.

4- Remember to flip the texture vertically after exporting from Zbrush, I don't know why but Zbrush flips it.

5- Never Give Up, Nothing is impossiburu.

6- Yes Zbrush can do it all now, no need to jump from one software to another.
