Mike Nash - The Sculpts

[MikeANash]

Hey all,

Thought I'd show some new work, they are some examples of polyresin prints.

Sorry for all the images :P

Enjoy!

Great sculpts and beautiful print quality!! :drool: Which company did you go for? Affordable prices?
Love it!

cheers:thumbsup:

[nghia59]

Wow Mike! Those are awesome! How do you like the material they are using? A friend of mine went through a bunch of print guys a while back and didn't have any luck with his. He even had stuff sent to him that melted if it got wet.

Any info on this stuff would be great to have.

[companioncube]

wow, very nice prints. i'm interested in price also?

[Storm]

These looks fantastic mike!
I was wondering, do you have some more images or renders of that snake/dragon thing? I really love the design, and would love to see some more views :)

[PascalR]

Hey Mike, any extra info would be great.
:sw:plugged:sw:

[A. olivier]

Amazing works! brillant!

[dansgarbage]

wow nice prints. What company and how much?

[collings]

waow that's a loads of 3d prints you have here :)
especially like the Batman and the last dude with the rock . Awesome Man.
Did you have a choice for the color output or everything is printed in yellow ?

[moonjam]

I'm sure this is going to make me look stupid, but are these renders?

I only ask because the fidelity & detail is beyond anything I've ever seen from a print. That & the flying demon's centre of gravity looks way off AND all these would cost the f**ing Earth to get made!

Either way - they look fantastic. :)

[arthurduque]

hhoohho!! really Great! congrats Excelent Stuff!!

[Gagan Jain]

Pure awesomeness :)

Sweeeeet! Nice one Mike. Drop me a line when your next on MSN. :thumbsup:

[gjpetch]

I could swear those were renders. Goes to show it's getting difficult to tell these days. Spectacular stuff man!

[Intervain]

yeah I had the same reaction as Greg and damn so many prints, that looks pricey hehe. Great [though I hate the yellow rofl]

[Kel Solaar]

Those models and their prints share one thing : insane quality oO
Congratz !

[MikeANash]

Haha Cheers guys.

They are "example" renders :D
I wanted the viewer to think they are actual real images, then that way they would have so much more appeal then your traditional shaded views.

Also wanted a nice way to show how Printed/3D models would look in real-life without having to pay expensive printing costs.

[adamlewis]

Wait a minute now - these are renders? If so, I am extremely impressed. I was pretty much convinced they were prints. The dust and stains on the backdrop, the lighting, and all the various subtle imperfections are very convincing. Well done, Mike.

[PascalR]

hahaha you got me clap Beautiful renders!! What renderer is that?

Man I swore these were real:notWorthy:

[MikeANash]

Thanks guys :)

Adam Lewis - I went into a lot of effort to create those small details you mentioned, also it can be tricky to setup up a nice procedural shader that would work with any model and size.

That's a brilliant setup man, well done :thumbsup:

[sschoellhammer]

Dang! Amazing renders/models. Hats off to you :)

[collings]

haha damn, you got me too :) Awesome man :D

[Storm]

I think its just because you won't tell us where you got the prints, hehe ;)
Awesome renders man!

[nghia59]

All I gotta say is you're a bad man Mike Nash. LOL

- Nghia

[jasonlin]

haha...I can't believe they are rendered images man...
but now..u need to share the setup of the shader and light ...damn...they r so real:thumbsup:

[R3DVFX]

Our amazing job, congratulations spectacular!

[MikeANash]

Thanks all again.

Just been playing with V-Ray, trying to get the same results as mental ray. They feel a bit more waxy with v-ray, prob need to vrayblend it.

Great sculpts and renders :dance:

[d-pan]

so inspiring stuff! I too was fooled that these weren't real photographs. The material you used is very appealing, almost want to see what it would taste like lol.

great stuff mike, thanks for sharing!

[sanskarans]

Shocking sculpts .JUST WOW

[ali_jalali]

cool prints and variations in style.
i like them. :thumbsup:

[jamnique]

These are absolutely amazing. Could you tell us what indirect illumination method you used to render them out? Irradiance particles seem to take forever with SSS, and your renders are super crisp and detailed. I'd love to know.

[KrysaYoY]

That is just awesome ! :drool: You got me fooled as well. Very impressive work !
Congrats ! :thumbsup:

[KaDDD]

aie aie aie , that kickhass
beautifull works

[AlexStratulat]

Wow!,.. This is great man!!! excellent sculpts,.. I very like expressions, and level of details!!

[gustavoprofeta]

badass batman!

[Tomala]

These renders are super ultra great! I would kill for any light and materials setup info :D

[MikeANash]

Hey Guys,

Here's bit of shameless pimping :rofl:. I've released this scene setup for MR/V-ray for 3dsmax.
You can buy it from my website -- Here -- (http://mikeanashtuts.blogspot.com/p/fake-it-materials-pack.html)

Feel free to send me your results so I can post them on my website.

[MikeANash]

cool idea!

:thumbsup:plugged:thumbsup:

[Intervain]

wow great Mike

[denz3d]

Great stuff Mike:thumbsup: Gonna pick this up when I get some time to play!

[MikeANash]

Thanks a ton for the plug Pascal :beerchug:!

Thanks guys! If this pack actually makes a profit I might do more similar packs like this.

[PaulAdams]

Wow. I would literally kill for this in Maya. Looks fantastic man!

[Aleph]

Wow cool looking renders your getting. I like the hanging emblems in the background. Just bought the pack :)

[majid_smiley]

Awesome !!

[madmatt]

Great Idea Mike, I really appreciate, thank you so much man!!!

Bye

[gonkdroid]

Gonna grab this for sure.

I wanted to ask though, do you have a preference between MR or VR when rendering?

[argoabba]

I bought this MR-pack from Mike Nash site. cool stuff! Also not big deal getting it to Maya as SSS Shader is present similiar in Maya, scene can be exported via OBJ or other formats. Lights setup as well... but of course will need some time to port. Most importaint I think - get Mike's experience from material layers setup and lighting i think.

[MikeANash]

Thanks again guys!

gonkdroid - I would say for the pack I prefer Mr over Vr since It's so damn hard to wrangle a good shader setting from VR using sss.

I think overall VR is just better since it's being updated vs Mr being left behind. If you compare the two they both have their +/- tho.

argoabba - I wont be porting it over, I'd rather move onto other things.

[gonkdroid]

Appreciate it Mike.

Look forward to trying this out.

[TobyD]

This is so cool.. early Christmas present to me from me wuhuu!!!

[Mos]

I would love to see this pack for Maya.

[Storm]

I would love to see this pack for Maya.
This times two! Would love to have this pack for maya!

[Mrguy]

This times two! Would love to have this pack for maya!

Times 3! I feel like I can achieve these type of renders on my own but I do seem to be missing a step of two... seeing the scene layed out in Maya would help. Also VR and MR for Maya would be amazing.:dance:

[fabien-y]

Hey Mike,
Just want to let you know that I'm more than ready to buy the Maya "fake it" pack aswell.
I really hope you 'll have time to do it .
Congrats again for your amazing work !

Hi Mike

I've already seen these renders on zbrushcentral :D
But when I look these, I can't stop me to think: Wow it's real or not? Anyway this man rock!
