--------------------------------------------
no joy without alloyo!

[makaka]

WOW... I think this is my first o second time give 5 stars... is amazing reproduction because I know more good the PIEDAD because I stay this winter in ROME and I saw long time this esculture... I have only critic, the virgin expression is more sad in the real esculpture, but IS GREAT, GREAT, GREAT JOB.
5 stars for my

Impresionante trabajo... hace poco que estuve en Roma y la PIEDAD fue uno de mis motivos por el que fui... has captado estupendamente el sentido a la escultura... la levedad del peso de Cristo es perfecta, lo unico que critico un poco es la expresion de la Vigen que es un poco mas triste... aun asi te doy 5 estrellas...(creo que es la segunda vez que doy 5).
enhorabuenahttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon13.gif
PLEASE PUT THE WIRE

[Geta-Ve]

Im speechless, no joke. That model is INSANE! Mind bogglingly good.

Hope your damn proud of yourself for this, fan-freakin-tastic!

[shakes]

holy cow..IMPROVE your modelling skills?!! that's unbelievably good. I'm gobsmacked too.
5 stars from me. would love to know how long it took you. congrats.

[AndyH]

sheeeeeiiiit - thats INSANE!
Have you got some wires to show? It looks too good!
Im not too keen on the very procedural looking marble texture, but the actual modeling is astounding, and id love to see how you made the cloth parts as i model a lot of clothes similar to those at work.

[doohanarai]

Wow! I am love it. Very good job!

[zzagno]

O_O

5 starts!!! excellent work!

[Tilstrom]

it's briliant. nuff said. :twisted:

[Freefall]

Damn, that looks really stunning. Nothing more to improve on your modeling skills. 5 stars from me :thumbsup:

[pyroskat]

this is superb!, wow amazing modelling man. only i dont like to much is the procedural shader that you have here. But the modelling for himself is really amazing!

[thatoneguy]

Impressive work.

The two things that stand out to me though that could be improved would be his calf/knee and the texture on the side of Jesus.

Where the calf blends with the thigh/knee it looks like your version is a bit too skinny and blobby. I would really sharpen up that angle.

On Jesus the procedural texture has created somthing of a loop on his chest that is reading as lighting, incorrect lighting, on a part that you've really accurately defined. There are a couple small places here and there where I think your texture is actually hurting how your model reads. Maybe some plain texture renders?

[goli3d]

Great work,Like to see mesh flow please

[xLess]

great and impressive work.nothing to say. you deserve 5 stars...

[gawain]

Amazing. Five stars.

[c0rtex]

holy crap! this is excellent.. i need to figure out how to give this 5stars!

[ja3d]

wow! impressive work, hard work in modelling and details, put wire please, for see all of modelling details.

[PeterSanitra]

when i`m comparing to original image i see you are missing lots of things on the legs(back side of knee, ankle etc.),but it`s nice anyway.

[arneltapia]

You are the real Michaelangelo! Aren't you. 5 stars.....

Heya,


Very nice idea, there are some bugs and lower quality sections, but.... Overall you made great model- with a little freaky detail- love it.

[rooster75]

first time commenting... this is so good I have a good mind to give up modeling..
I'll never be THIS good..

Great stuff man.. show us some wires!! :)

[CosyTo]

:eek: Amazing job!!! :thumbsup: Superb modelling.
Especially love the animation! ... what do you mean it isn't? I really tought I saw them move there for a sec? :)

Perhaps try to do something about that procedural marble shader, it doesn't do your model justice.

[R1PPER]

Arguably the best modeling work EVER. You have to write a mini tutorial on your techniques. :thumbsup:

[stephen2002]

A quite impressive piece of modeling! Everything matches up with the original very well, even the slightly wrong proportions of the original sculpture. How long did it take you to do this?

Now you have to write VLADISECO on the Virgin's wrap :p.

[Sue3d]

Beautiful work! I agree that Mary in the original sculpture looks a bit more sad and the marble texture isn't perfect (I see some stretching on the legs), but it's still just awesome. :thumbsup:

[TIO_MATT]

You.....are.......crazy!

[mindrot]

:eek: DAMN!!

Beautiful work there.

[JCFrog]

:eek: no comment.
just adding one more wireframe request.

[vladiseco]

Hi!
wow, I did not expect this response, I posted it yesterday before I went to sleep
and now I am seeing it at front page, thank you very much for your answers!
I don´t know what to say, the whole model is made with polygons, I started modelling Jesus based on a photo of the human body. Later I rigged the character and placed it in the position based on a photo of the Pietà which I used as referen, I made th necessary deformations to make it look as close as possible to the original. Then i continued with Maria, the part wich tool me the longest time was the thorax of Maria since it contains a lot of folds in her clothes. Her dress was easier.

Here is the wire:



Thanks!!:bounce: :bounce:

[Pjanssen]

This is absolutely brilliant Vladimir! If I could give a thread 6 stars, I would've given them.
I think that I can safely say that this is the best 3d human sculpture I've ever seen.

The only thing that caught my eye was the left arm of jesus. Compared to the original sculpture, it looks very thing and maybe even a bit squashed.

ps. I've sent you a PM.

[cgpainter]

Thats amazing! You are truly great at your craft. Keep it up.

[JHarford]

fantastic work... really great modeling . you did the sculpture justice

[Gord-MacDonald]

Powerful work!

Gord

[Deeug]

insane modelling!!!
just for my knoledge:how much time took you this work from start to finish?
Thanks

[pixelAffairs]

Wow, thats coool!
I´d kill to see some Animation/ Deformation on it, which would be possible, since you edgemodelled it...

PA

[Androgs]

:thumbsup: Fantastic work, great model!! just like others question, how long it takes you to finished this piece? its simply one of the best cg art I've ever seen.

[offshootcartoon]

Amazing job

[MooseHead]

That's modeling! :applause: impressive!

[Sylanya]

Wow, that is amazing! The details are exactly like the original statue, and that is incredible. But what really gets me is the texture of the statue, it looks like a high-gloss version of the original, and so real that it seems like a photograph. Well done!

[redsky_m]

This is great. Can you write a tutorial on it? That will be helpful for us (newbie.)

[Trinnity]

Wuoooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:eek::eek:

GREAT WORK!!...

Las diferencias entre este modelo y el original son insignificantes teniendo encuenta la complejidad de la obra...un magnifico modelado sin duda.

Vander - Brasil

[tamamo]

Unbelievable:eek:

awesome work:thumbsup:

[amipretty]

amazing, someone mentioned a tutorial, perhaps you could do a little tutorial on how you went about doing the cloth as i imagine a tutorial for the whole thing would take some time!!

really great, only thing is maybe the texture is a bit too shiny for my taste but the modelling is just crazy!!

[vladiseco]

hi
I cannot believe the amount of comments I have recieved, thank you very much!

I don´t know exactly how long time it took me to model the whole model including the
texture, I believe at least one and a half month during my spare time.
I also spent several days working with the material(texture) but it seems some of
you would have preffered some other material.:scream:

Thank you again for all your great comments!!!


Hola,
No me lo puedo creer, cuantos comentarios, Muchas gracias a todos.
No se cuanto tiempo me tomó todo el modelo, creo q algo de mes y medio en mis tiempos
libres y en lo que mas perdi varios dias fue en el material y parece q a muchos no les
gusta del todo. jajaajaja.

Muchas GRacias.:applause:

[Ganguy]

:scream: So Great Job I have seen,But where is the wire image?
ok!

[dcmoutinho]

amazing work:bounce:

Just I don't like a lot the shader and the lighting...
But the modelling is marveling...
Do u have a wire?

Great modeling skills! :thumbsup:keep on CGiNG!

[Neil_M]

well done indeed !! :thumbsup:

[berniebernie]

You must be nuts to try to improve your modeling skills using a model that complicated. But you did it, and you're an ace, I hope you land a really good job as a modeller because it looks like you've got what it takes !

[vANON]

aw man! that's _really_ good work! i spent some time finding something to critique and i just kept finding more and more eyecandy. One thing though, her left hand and foot seems less detailed.. but still, i _love_ the expression on her face! The details? Superb!

[PixelRod]

Amazing Stuff.....:bounce: :thumbsup: :eek: :wise: :scream: :) :buttrock: :applause: :)

[gregdesantis]

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. But, I'm so impressed I felt that I had to add my own congratulations. This is an extraordinary work.

[TwinSnakes]

Your model is superb...great detail...and you really captured the mood of your reference photo.

However, amongst the deluge of praises....I'm interested in your workflow technique. Box, Poly, Spline, or something altogether new?

[rodney71]

An inspiring piece of work. my only crit is that the knees look a little unrealistic and a little weak. A bit more attention to that area would bring it a lot closer to the real thing.
Fantastic modelling.

[mecman]

Wonderfull modeling!:eek: I have no words!:eek:
You have an amazing patience! hahaha
Congratulations mate!! nice work!!:applause:

[WhiteRabbitObj]

I was just lamenting last night that I hadn't seen any front page plugs that I was blown away by in quite awhile... and here today this gets frontpaged. This is truly stunning work. Amazing job.

I am a Michelangelo and Renaissance addict so, my humble respects!
Congratulations!

this is a crazy peice that you'd done. there just only one thing though, it's the knee that is a little bit deform(i think)........but other than that, it's an amazing peice.

[Rory]

wow speechless, and anyone that knows me... knows that doesnt happen often!

superb modelling!

have you thought about "messing" it up...? texture wise?

Rory

[dasomen]

Superb, incredible modelling. Me dejas anonadado mihemano :). (Speechless). Is there any chance to see wires and some details about your model.

How many time did it take to model ? What's the polycount ? is it using normalmaps ?

Any way, congrats on making it front page. You're trutly talented. I hope to see more of your work soon.

[angelnocturno]

hey dude... !! what a beautifull sculpture... 10 STARS FOR ME !!!

You have not modelled it! You stealed it! Maybe you left your copy in Rome...
My compliments.

[Snefer]

You'd better model a new jaw for me, because I think I dropped mine... :D Wonderful work!

[ChewyPixels]

Love it! Best modeling I've seen in a while. I must say, though, the shader could use improvements. 5 stars from me anyway. :thumbsup:

[nemesis_256]

that is amazing! :eek: :applause:

My only problem is the one that was mentionned the most: the knees. They probably got skinnier when you bent them, which could easily be fixed with an influence object.

BTW, the wire picture you posted...is that the same as the finished piece? or did you convert to SubD or do a poly smooth on it?

[Rambiert]

Wow. Genius work. It's so good, that i can hardly believe that it is pure hand modeling.

[rusaru]

HARD CORE MODELING - EXACTLY!!!

the folds are great...

[JDaniel]

Wow, that makes my chest hurt.

Real hardcore modeling .
I'm speechless.

oh oh, that looks really complex. You have matched the poses and shapes almost perfectly (think that the word perfect...can't be told to many human beings' art...).

The knee annoys me...but man, the original was from Michelangelo

something that makes me chuckle is thinking about how many times you used "undo" during this model, then thinking of how accurate angelo had to be when he made the original... he had no undos! lol

Oh my god ! what can I say ! you got michealangelo's hand.

[hackie]

no doubt 5 stars!

job-dropping master piece i say.



j!.

[Gal]

i am very interested in your reference material? did u have any other angles of this or did u juse use this image in the background and a camera positioned accordingly angled to fit and that's it?
some of the details are very very close, very nice indeed. i would definately texture the dirt and brown corrosion and give a much more dramatic lighting to this. that would make this piece incredible.

[MisterE]

This has got to be one of THE best models I have ever seen here - and I've seen nearly all of the best. I saw it on the front page and instantly recognized it. In fact, from the thumbnail, it looked like a thumb to an image of the real Pietà! Very photo-realistic!

You've captured all the beautiful subtletiess and detail in the wrinkles and faces. Truly one of my favorite CG pieces I've seen. 10 stars if I could. :arteest: :applause:

[onlooker]

That is absolutely unreal. :argh:

[BluePulse]

Great Gooogly Moooogly! That is unbelievable. I never thought anybody would ever attempt that. 5***** goodness!!

[Jinian]

Simply astounding :eek: :eek: . The modeling is one of the greatest i've seen in replication of a statue. I really do believe you can turn this into an epic art piece of realism if you texture it like the one you referenced on and light it with Final gathering and HDRI. You can take this further and into your advantage, i don't think the texturing and lighting part will be much of a burden. And to finalize do some post works in photoshop, like adding grain and whatnot.

HI Gal, thank you for your comments!!
Yeah you have right!!, I have use this image in the background and the camera positioned correctly, created some polygons and fixed the points and that's it!! :thumbsup:
But i had some other images as reference as well, here can you find them:

[Gaboon]

Like everyone else, I am amazed. At first I didn't believe that it was 3D. Awsome job!!

[infin8_1ne]

An excellent and meaningful piece, What better way to show 3D emerge as an art form than with this image. I take my hat off to you.

[Gemini82]

Thats an excellent model. You may want to watch your porportions. The original sculptures legs are a bit larger the the torso, giving it a more dynamic feel. Try making the bottom half larger than the upper torso.Micheanglo made the lower half larger on purpose because of the angle at which it was meant to be viewed.


P.S. cant spell

[Tagi]

brilliant dude.. now im all inspired. Best model in ages...

and it really hits home how crazy it is that the great master michaelangelo made this from FRICKEN stone! with prolly only models as reference. heh no fine tuning with stone. amazing.

anyway my hats of to you for your recreation of this masterpiece... Well done!

[Major_Tom]

Truly amazing piece of work.:thumbsup:

whoa very impressive modeling indeed , no crits here.


hola desde canada,
que haces en sweden? hehe bueno me gusta vastante tu modelo y me ha inspirado a crear otras sculpturas del mismo stylo.

[send2raj]

Amazing!Great Work.....all 05stars to you:thumbsup:

[TimBlae]

wowowow,that's nice, looks sooooooo real

[nacho_grande]

Michelangelo's Pieta... It is even hard to draw on a paper... Excellent work indeed. There is nothing to say about that. :bowdown:

[f97ao]

Like everyone else says. Very impressive stuff. Haha, just the last days I have been thinking alot that it would be cool to model some cloth to test some new modeling tools I've made. But I couldn't think of a really good model. Something along the lines of your model would be perfect. Very inspiring!

I have to look more at statues!

How did you cope with the polygon count? How many polys were there in the model, doesn't look like an enormous amount, but still quite a bit. And you used edge weights of maya to customize the smoothing, right? (haven't used maya myself).

Hope to see more from you :)
/Andreas

[thatoneguy]

Yeah that knee fix really helped.

Hehe I hate to be picky, but things can always get tweaked.... While you're going through and tweaking stuff. On Jesus' left hip the cloth folds look a little too regular, too repetitive.

Oh yeah... wires!

[stoat]

Astonishing :eek: It's said that the man could find and free the figures trapped in the marble but there cannot be an analogy with maya. As for getting every fold to the millimetre, I'd say stuff that :thumbsup: art is always more than draughtmanship.

[JesusLove]

Wow.....man i'm glad see your post to be glory Jesuschrist.

God bless you:eek: :bounce:

[TeroM]

Absolutely stunning... :eek:

[storman]

Amazing! Amazing and one more time amazing! This model is absolutely fantastic and perfect. I haven`t seen model greater then this one! Exellent.

One thing that there is that mood on your model different from original. I can`t see drama. On the face of Madonna, for example.

Great!

Somebody said Michelangelo would love Maya. I don`t think so. Michelangelo would love 3D, independently of the software itself. And I`m sure he would be proud of this replica.


Very, very nice, and inspiring!

[tlggungor]

PERFECTOOO modelling and render:thumbsup:
maybe add some dirty marble effect

[conceptx]

Hey this is a nice piece I like it espcially the way you handled the clothers it's pretty cool ;)

[DeadWINGS]

No words, man! congrats!!

[Dave3D]

Wasnt i the one who complained that there was a shortage of religious artwork in the 3d field?


lol

I think we need more after seeing this masterpeice.


Looking great as my wallpaper.


Love the lighting.

[saltydogdesign]

This really is spectacular. I have one quibble -- someone else might have mentioned this already, but there's something a bit odd about Christ's knees. The thighs taper a bit more than the original, and the knees come off looking a bit like a folded straw rather than, well, knee joints. It's extremely minor, and I probably wouldn't have noticed had I not been looking with my face two inches from the monitor.

I absolutely love this, though. When I first looked at it, I thought, hmm... CGTalk is allowing sculpture now?

[vladiseco]

Great reproduction!!! You've stydied it in details, it's easy to see. What kind of references did you use? P.S. Thou shall liveth ethernally in heaven:thumbsup:


:rolleyes:

[Rhino]

Incredible

[LEGC]

Wow, te quedo muy bueno uno de los mejores trabajos que he visto. Te felicito.

[Odrakir]

About a month ago I was standing in front of the original piece.

I think the most beatiful part of it, and the most dificult to duplicate is Maria's expression. You've gotten darn close to it!.

Congratulations!

[Talgoose]

holy crap

that is just amazing....

[Ash-Man]

damn, thats good
the best pice of art i seen in a while

Please sign my mouse! wacom tablet. pen, etc

[silversun]

I believe this a great tribute to a masters work. As far as flaws I agree with the back side of jesus' knee being off also I feel the expression on Mary's face is not caputring the same sense of emotion as in Michelangelos piece. Very well done

[Zarathustra]

Geez, why didn't anyone think to make this model before...... oh yeah, right, because you'd be crazy to try!
Thanks for being crazy enough to attempt this and it's inspirational that you actually accomplished such a close likeness.
Great work :thumbsup:

[Heber]

can we get a bigger render for desktops?? amazing work i need to see it bigger now :)

[vivien82]

this is absolutely incredible. what software do you use? i'd love to know how you work and how you managed to model such an incredible copy. only one thing is missing now.....your signature right where michelangelo's was!
amazing!

[Thiger]

XLNT! :applause:

One day we may see a tutorial how to model such a Masterpiece.

[Lotus7]

beautiful work!!! no coments!! :buttrock::applause::buttrock::applause:

[p0k3]

this has to be the best point modeling i have ever seen, you my friend are a point modeling genius..:buttrock:

[Imatk]

So impressive.... congrats :)


Mary looks like she's a little happier in your version... but I wouldn't have even noticed had someone not posted the original... amazing work man :thumbsup:

[Loulu79]

Excellent modeling ability you have there! Since I'm not that familiar with the piedad...I'd rather have a sculptor/museum consultant look into this...to see whether or not they'd qualify this similar to the original .... They might say it just looks too brand new...

I know you're an expert now in the modeling...and you deserve more than 5 stars...but you said you want to improve...hmmm...I'm realizing even the pros want to improve even more...

*Probably slice one of the limbs...like the real ones who've lost their pieces...(they're old you know)
*Your modeling is superb...now try out the texturing just a little bit...I see you have some great skill in that too...

*To make it ancient and thus more realistic...give it some dirt, smudges and smears...Just a bit...and since you already give this beauty of a piece your own...that'll do....:thumbsup:

Congrats on Front page!

Very Impressive!

Hi guys,
Thank you very much my friends :bowdown:, I am very happy that all you guys like my work.:applause:

Muchas gracias!!! :beer:

[krazeyhorse]

Truely AWESOME!!!

[nachofrades]

Please a little better shader and a little SSS and I give you not five but ten stars.

increible tio, simplemente increible.

[SpaXe]

First I wanted to say,
Excellent modeling for the pieta, man!
Now you are really the second Michel..

Second...I wanted to have some critques.
The only thing that seems not right is the material itself. Compare to lots of sculptures you'll find it doesn't have that clear light reflection point. And the stripes looks too big for the original size of the sculpture.

I really like the lighting you set. It gives a so real environment.

And I really admire your modeling skill. Maybe, in my opinion, you can improve on the texture part more.

[idomain]

Unbelievable realistic! Very well done. :applause:

[robin]

You always think that your work is at the edge of computer graphics but Cgtalk comes knocking at the door to tell you that your not the center of the universe.

Well done friend, musta took you a while to model this.
Great great accomplishment.

[tjanumod123]

great stuff.....am i dreaming...

i would suggest 5 stars are not enough to reward this excellecy...hats off...

for critic..i don't know i should suggest this, but anyway so far no one has pointed this out.. so i think i put my humble point of view here..

i think tht the back side of the knee (just under the knee) is too rounded & thin & its lookin slightly unnatural .

anyway its never ever going to reduce the star value..all the best...

[Michael Chen]

Nice sculpture :thumbsup:

I know it's CG :D

[Innovator]

absolutely outsanding! I hate to sound like a broken record but this is one of the best excutions of a sculpture reproduction I have ever seen. This is just a phenomenal piece of work. You should really be proud, and you should also really be working in the industry (if you arent already).

that being said...make more art man!! I await your next project! :thumbsup:

[Amilton Diesel]

This is absolutaly insane, have no words to describe it, you are the michelangelo of 3D

[urk10]

I wanted to improve my abilities of modelling so i decided to model the michelangelo's pietà

Hahaha! You're kidding right?

Nice job bro!

[Dreamy Kid]

hi vladimir, your model blow me away...awesome skill.
anyway i have some question that i hope you dont mind to answer,, i really need your help ^_^. ok i'm working on models with complicated drappery with folds crease and stuff like that, you know what i mean :). what i need to know is, do you model the cloth, before or after you pose the character? so yeah it's a big dilemma for me and i hope you can help me. thanks a lot

[jordibares]

The work seems really good at first but let me point few things IMHO you should address;

- The body anatomy is not correct, look carefully the knees and all its missing tendons and missing bone bulges. (Even the twak you did does not really stand up against the real one)

- again the feet lacks detail and feels a much rounder version of the real one.

- Again the triceps is unresolved, in this particular case i feel it was abandoned in the modeling stage as is more a "random bulge" than what you can appreciate in the real sculpture.

- Very good to show clearly the contact between Mary's hand and the cloth (left side) but details like the little folds the sculpture shows reveal the texture and thickness of the cloth that you have not put into your model.

- Another thing that strikes me is unresolved rib cage, may be part of this has to do with the glossy rendering instead of a more rough surface but seems to me is not correct.

- The throat is near to be ok but if you look carefully you will see a more relaxed version in the original showing the dead body while in yours has a pinch and a softened version of the conexion with the chin, resulting in a wrong signal of life.

- About the cloth itself i have to say you have resolved a lot but gone for another easier path than the real scupture. Look the ropes on Jesus that cover his body and how yours seem flattened (as if you used a scaling tool in 3D) while in the original the folding resolves in a multitude of conexions in a much more natural way. Think of it as a spiders network instead of rolling hills.

- Her face is more pleasant and probably has something to do with your lighting but both forefront and nose connection is not as pleasant as the original.

- And last but more important, your Mary is not touching his knee showing a completly diferent gesture of disgust and/or surprise instead of love.

Overall is an excelent job that need a few careful tweaks to be a truly superb one.

Well done.

[fgdf]

It's so inspiring i decided to make a 3d "David" ...yes I'm gonna make one ;)
...Again what was your reference? 2d pics or some mini statue etc??

[Jhotun]

The image looks great, you have very good modeling skills, but let me say something. This image could be 3000% better if you just add Zbrush before consider it finished. Give yourself a modeling break and start zbrushing it. Oh, and even the materials can be greatly improved in Zbrush!

Saludos!

[caross]

congratulations by your work.:applause:
an incredible model,one of the best models than I have seen.

I really love to see the Pieta, as an Animator, it's one of my favorite Sculptures done by

sculpture which is the way Jesus lays in Marry's lap.:thumbsup:

Great Job with the lighting ^_^
