Hi guys!, i made another sculpt, a dude, and i think after this im going to start studiyng topology and texturing and all, i hate the limitations of not being able to add microdetails to the sculpts cuz' of the topology, i always start from scratch doing an armature with zspheres so that's why,:

Hello guys!
Well finally an update on this project, still with this one, it has been tremendously complex for me, since it's my first attempt on doing something like this, still WIP, im having nightmares doing the specularity on him, the eyes also were a pain, oh yeah and i forgot to say that this head is rendered in VRay for Maya... so that's why the nightmares with the specular side haha.

So yeah this is the first render of him, with just one light, i liked the mood he look with those shadows, later on this week im gonna post other renders of him with more illumination to show the details and the eyes specially...

7167

Textures are 90% polypainted, 10% photoainted... with spotlight and all. Displacement and bump maps were extracted but im still experimenting with the settings to have the most detail out of the original sculpt, anyway, comments and critics on this one would be tremendously helpful to improve it and to get motivation to finish it properly, good night.

[max-tx]

Very nice, amazing!

[AdanVC]

Thank you very much max-tx!

Hi guys, new updates, just this two images one of his eye with an HDRI environment, and a general render of him, im losting interest on this project, im extremely tired of him, i´ve been working with this during the entire month:banghead:! this has become more complex than i though, specially, because SSS2 in Vray is such a tricky shader to setup, looks simple but once you start to need some more control over specific areas, it's in that moment when it starts to get tricky and tedious trying to figure out each and every single parameter, from displacements to lights to shader to textures just to do it right, and well, at least im learning a lot with all of this, so my total respects to all the brilliant people there who makes beautifully realistic characters with this.

Le' eye

Later on im going to show more views in different light conditions and all, right now i have only these two because of the render times... geez new PC here i go! (i hope so haha).

Anyway, comments and critics are tremendously welcome, have a nice tuesday guys!, Cheers.

[Vimmy]
