This is my entry to Dominance War IV
I wish I had more time to improve the character but it's over.
not actually happy at 100%... but what I like it's that I was able to finish it on time,
First time I complete my entry in DW.

Hope you like it!

Farcry 2 Character
rendered with ZBrush]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:06:22 +0000 http://sergiosantos.cgsociety.org/gallery/485488

I was playing around with a face that I did a few days ago.
I just took the head and started to sculpt shapes that I saw at the same time, like shadows that could create a cool shape or closing a little bit my eyes to see something different and this guy started to appear.
Later I did a SSS and hair test, I liked the render so I started to modify in photoshop just for fun.
When I was photoshoping I thought it was like a mirror in a fairy tale, when the hero is approaching to a mirror and instead to appear his own reflect it appears some kind of deformed monster.

It took me a few hours, I didn't look at the clock but I guess it was about 5 the whole process.
the pipeline was: max->zbrush->max->photoshop
rendered with mentalray.

Thanks for viewing,
Hope you like it!

Mainly done with primitive sculpted in ZBrush (sphere for the head, box for the cape, sphere for the hood, cilinders for legs/boots...). Rendered in Max with Mental Ray, Photoshop for post-process.

When the librarian gets bored of clasifing all his volumens of information, he goes to the main lobby and creates an Universe. Nothing fancy, just a little big bang and everything starts comming out smoothly, some hundreds of elements and a few physic rules to keep them together for a while; but he also gets bored of these universes, so he throws them away to a dark corner in a small corridor. Then it's time to rest after the hard work.

This is for the Hardcore modeling challenge: Ray Harryhausen Tribute. I decided to enter because of the topic.
I love the Ray Harryhausen movies, specially "Jason and the argonauts". There are three things that shocked me when I was a kid and watched the movies: Medussa, the scene with the skelletons and the giant of stone. So I made Talos. I even thought that it was a real scale statue the first time that I watched the movie, hehehehe...

I've used 3D Max, ZBrush and Photoshop. It took me around 15 hours (I thought that the point of these challenges was the speed so I did my best to finish it quickly), plus a few hours for the renders... yes, a few hours for these renders... I have a very slow laptop.

I didn't pretend to make a 1:1 copy of the original and I had a lot of fun making this model.

Thanks for viewing!

I love the art of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell and I wanted to understand the composition of the classic fantasy pictures. I took the original concept from an old book of Boris and Julie. Everything is done in MAX, textures in Photoshop. SSS for skin, rendered with mr, final gather in a separate layer. For the cloth I used a falloff map with 2 different speculars, one of them is anisotropic. C&C welcome.

This is a personal project to improve my skills with ZBrush and Mental Ray. I've enjoyed doing this image a lot and I think this is a compilation of several faces that I've seen in the last few years.

Goblin warrior for a 3D realtime game.
First i made the high resolution model, i textured it and made some renders. I built the low mesh over the the high mesh and get the normal mapping. I used the renders to texture the low polygon model. I usually use for normal mapping nmfs exporter for 3DS MAX and nvtools for photoshop.
thanks...
i hope you like it.
