Armed and dangerous - nasty pirate

[Demitsuri]

Some very basic props. I'm going to use them for "sandbox" pipeline. To test mudbox and RIB scenes, which I'm planing to use for renderman tests.

Trying to find appropriate expression, more of caricature type.

hehe great... i like the insanity in his eyes.!

Thanks oglu, it is exactly what I was trying to achieve. Though final decision I can make only on properly posed character.

I've prepared proxy geometry for further modeling, but not sure, should I do this before posing or after. Modeling lot of cloth materials is not the easiest task.

I keep working on the model. I've sculpted base shape and added thickness and seams to cloth.

Trying to work around cloth sculpting. Seems sculpting and modeling layer by layer is the best solution.

his hand is too small... make it 2,5-3 times bigger... that'll do it. good progress

Good point shennie! I'll try to work around hands, arms, and model overall. So it will look more proportional. Though little bit disproportion will fit the character :) .

Small update. At first I've started from boots, but metal surfaces a bit tricky to work at shader level. So i decided to finish metallic surfaces first.

I've been tasting simplified sss workflow which may be useful for face of the character, and maybe cloth. This one went much easy than metals.

The iris of your eye is way to small.

Thanks lukasvogl. About the size of iris, it was intentionally. What wasn't intentionally is the difference of iris size in left and right eye. It was pure luck during scene rescale. And I think, this kind of sight fits the character. :)

Thanks for support. Much appreciated.

Basically main asset is textured. Except skin parts, that require a bit more shading work.
First image is mudbox setup for overpaint - for dirt and mud. Most of the textures a 4k, so whole asset was split in parts which where textured, and been brought together for overpaint.

I've started skin texturing. Right now trying to adopt the sss shader used for eyes. Seems works fine, so far.

The hand is looking great. I've always wondered why pirates aren't usually that tanned.

[Demitsuri]

Head texture is mostly ready. Shader compared to standard sss little bit harsh, but for purpose of this work it will work. Anyway I think there will a bit of time to play with mia shader.
Next is hat and environment modeling and texturing. No second character unfortunately.

Thanks. The color of skin in toned up for purpose of image compositing, so I don't have to render image over and over, for little tweaking.

[Demitsuri]

It is all done. At least all I could do before deadline. I wish I have more time to add particles .Well, maybe in another time and in another work. I wish to all participant good luck and congratulate all who was able to submit their works in time.
