Oohh... a blog. I recently finished my job working as a lead env. artist @ Ridge Racer Unbounded. Most u guys probably recognize me from my photoshop threads. I finally got some time to finish some err... personal stuff.

The poster is a tribute to Lucio Fulci and his gruesome psychedelic movies.

A cartoonish portrait of me.

I hope you like em. Comments and questions are welcome! I'll try to answer any sensible questions.

Both rendered in Vray, modeled in Zbrush.

Great work, really impressive!

3D seems so much slower than my traditional painting/sketching preferences, though ZBrush is a lot of fun to mess around with.

Hi!

Zbrush is really really good especially if you're into organic modeling: monsters and such. You just have to get thru the quirky UI and you are all set. If you know how to work with clay you can work with Zbrush. It's as simple as that. And 4.0 R- is much more stable than 3.0 which had lot of annoying crash bugs. I'll post some Zbrush shots when I get home so you can see everything untextured.

Thanks for visiting.

Is it possible to self teach oneself decent 3D modelling? I have no real artistic skills as in i cant draw for shit, but my proffessor said that didn't matter. I've taken a basic 3D class and that's about it. Also for skintones and such, do u ahve a texture pack for that or do u like paint the textures on with something like Zbrush?

It's extremely bulky compared to his head, xP.

The setting was on max or maya?

unkkz: It's possible, but if you don't have any drawing skills you probably have limited modeling skills too. Good drawing skills will help you notice errors, get the right "mass" and muscle definition for a creature. You can still make good images just by modeling from technical blueprints or just do architectural visualization. You need to have patience and learn to handle technical stuff too. Hmm... doing 3D is not easy and it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

sob3k: I've noticed that too. The other problem with the hand is that it's cut and pasted there. I moved his shoulder a bit so it would look natural. The other problem is that the hand isn't cropped that well from a photographic perspective. I can live with that problem though...

Steveling: Max and Vray.

Here are some wip shots if anyone want's to take a look:

Mental ray this time btw.

Thanks all for the comments.

Also mental ray. I this shader used only one map for overall color, spec. I won't get any more technical than that. This is a gaming forum after all.

Very nice suffeli, though I would agree that the hand is somewhat odd. (metacarpals of the ring and pinky finger are too long? also the wrist bends oddly, like as if it were reversed from how it should look (dorsal vs. ventral bend)). Really like the composition though.
