WOW!!!
Thanks for showing me how much more I need to learn about Blender!

I'll be watching this more in depth and attempting to follow along. The final project was awesome and dovetails into the kinds of characters I'm trying to create.

I'm very impressed:

Inspiring work, thanks

Thank you people! really! I just uploaded a new video (but here, it's an old artwork) for a 2012 Mixamo Zombie Contest:
ZOMBIE VIDEO

The workflow was more or less like in the marine video:

1. Make a human in makeHuman (duh!) if you pay attention to the mesh in the video, you'll see it's the old models, alpha 8, I believe.
2. Import it to Blender, make a copy of it and sculpt the copy in Multiresolution.
3. Bake all maps to the original mesh
4. The contest had some Polycount limitations, so I did some retopo on the original mesh and ended up with a less-than-3000-triangles model.
5. Bake again all textures to the third model, and make props
6. Pose the rotting corpse and render!

I just tried this step yesterday and had no luck. How much subdivision did you apply?

Hell, I got 5 levels in Multires. You got an error or what?

Ah.. I only did three levels and what I experienced is the sculpting did nothing but cause the mouse to freeze. I'll give it another go...
