Crystal W.I.P. 2

almost finished with the modeling. :)

Crystal W.I.P.

This is for a collaborative project I'm doing. The model was build for a next-gen game engine.

Got a Bamboo tablet!

Bodybuilder

This a quick temple body i made in Zbrush.Its for an other project I got going on. Not prefect but a start for re-topology.

Hair Sim Test

I think I'll get some hair on him this week.

Bill the Butcher W.I.P. (update 2)

I changed the shape of the face. Played with the lighting. Add a mustache dont know if I'll stay with mustache made from polys. Might try some sort of hair sim modifier.

Bill the Butcher W.I.P. (update)

Tried poly-painting in Z-brush. Also made a normal and displacement map to see how it would look. Color correction in Photoshop.

Bill the Butcher

This is a model of Daniel Day Lewis. I was trying to model his character from the movie Gangs of New York. But I'm not sure it really looks like him. I think my next step is to retopologize him.

SSS test 2

Was just seeing if i could get a different look and feel. Still learning my way around the SSS shader.

SSS Fast skin shader test

I tested the Scatter Sub Surface map. The last skin test I did was with the Arc and Design mat in max. I think this method is better. Looks more like skin to me. Think im going to start on his eyes and hair next.

Skin and Normal maps

UVed the head in Z-brush using their awesome new UV mapper tool/plugin. Skin textured in photoshop. Then did some modeling in Z-brush for fun to see how normal maps work with 3D Max. Not a bad test. Far from perfect but I'm learning. 1min 40 sec rendered in HD using mental ray.

Generic Sub-D head

A sub-D head made from a plane. Model in 3D max 2010. Used some of the cool new tools in max. Took it in to Z-brush just to mess around for a bit...about 20min work in Zbrush and about 10 hours modeling the head in max. I havent modeled a sub-D head in years so I'm a little slow.

Second view of the door

Just an other view. Did some post work in Photoshop. Added a blur and what not.

Door of Doom! final

I'm going to call this done. And I final gave it a title "Door of Doom!" lol. Calling gothic door knocker just didn't feel right any more. It was fun. I learned a lot about Z-brush and learned I have a lot more to learn. Not just about Zbrush but all aspects of 3D creation. Hopefully I'll have more finished work soon.

Big Ears Music Festival poster

an other contest. hope I win one :)

Poster Designs

Poster designs done for a contest.

human character head

Tried to make a younger mans head. Not too happy with it but its progress. No reference used. My next model I think I'll start using reference. May be try to make a historical figure bust.

Old man sketch

This started as a sphere in Z-brush...about 6 hours of work give or take. Think I might add more to this one. I really need to practice doing hair in Z-brush well among many other things but I like the way it turned out for the most part. Also need to brush up on my anatomy. When I look at it I feel like its a bit off in some areas maybe he just needs eyebrows, don't know.

WIP

not done yet w.i.p. but i got the shader done for the most part.

Mock Website

the logo and company was grabbed off of brands of the world. I believe it is a Brazilian web design company.

human character

brush 3d sketch no reference. made from a sphere.

Gargoyle

Modified the model of the door knocker to make this gargoyle. Still learning Z brush. As I learn more and more about what can be achieved with this amazing software I'm continuously say to my self, OMG this is the greatest thing ever lol! I have a lot to learn but I'm so happy to do so. Zbrush is a dream to work with.

Gothic Door Knocker

No where near done with this. Its going to be for my Gothic door knocker. The other file I was working on was not saved correctly but its all good since the new work is much closer to what I had in mind. still WIP. Think I'm going to start modeling the ornament design that will go around the head next.

Burshing up on my UI and wed design skills....thanks.

face

Did this one real quick to brush up on my Zbrush skills..hoping to make it in to a ornate door knocker. Its a WIP.
