Hey PorkPie, I'm a big fan of your work. both pieces are awesome!
Love the dirt in the pores on that guy! insane texture detail.

I'm curious, did you create the rgb shift in the top image inside maya/max? or a post effect

Great works Chris clap

Would you mind explaining a bit your workflow? any wireframes, zbrush screengrabs?

I'd love to know more about your texturing process :dance:

Beautiful!

I used zbrush for fleshing out the main areas with polypaint and then used zapplink and photohsop to refine.

Really great work Chris, thanks for sharing these WIP shots:bouncy:

What was the poly count on the zbrush model?


Cheers

fantastic texturing on this stuff!! really inspiring. Would love to know more about your rendering workflow (ie how you're rendering out passes, what's your pipeline)
