Anyone Done Any Old Skulls/Bone ?

[vid2k2]

From what I remember, the bone looks pretty good,
but the enamel on the teeth should be lighter.

Nice skull model ........ was it free ?

Hey, very cool. Yeah with BP you'll be able to add much more detail to the texures. It's a little too clean right now.
Let us know when the BP version is done :)

JoelD did a pelvis that had a very nice material on it.

I really don't have a lot of experience with BP, maybe i really should bite the bullet and get into it


When i set up the uvw using the wizard i get optimal mapping with the mesh split up into block like sections very similar to a zbrush uvw, cubic 2 gives an intereting layout with a very clear front back top sides projection

Thing is i don't see how you can paint on the uvw map and get the brush to wrap

If i choose cylindrical i can paint on the uvw map but there are some weird stretched out polys on the right of the uvw screen and it is not a very intuitive uvw map

Is there a way to have that easy on the eye cubic 2 map such as i can paint seamless, i mean if i paint the right it continues over to the left ?

I could of course try to paint directly on the model but it appears that painting on the uvw map allows you to easily get into the nooks and crannies

Here is my latest version, discussed here

Hi Paul
I think the latest sample is looking a bit too lacquered, and the bump pattern too repettitive. I kinda like the first versions better.

Here are a few shaders I put together, but the problem with premade shaders is they never work when you apply to a different model/scene. These shaders are lighting and scale dependent (uses SSS). Not neccassarly a soliution--but here thye are in case they are helpful.

I based the new render on a photo image

I love your mats, the second one looks like it could be used for snow, and the last 2 for (alien?) skin

Now to try them on the skull

i did a map some times ago for the same model but that was for rendering with maxwell, i'll dig my HD to find out...

edit:
here's the render

i'll give it a look for rendering in cinema....

Hi JoelD,

if you want to C4d Textures collects shaders of all kinds. :) Just an idea.
Cheers

Bravo vesalus--That looks great!

[vesalus]

thanks joel :)
by the way, your textures rocks, maybe a little bit too much fresnel on the forth, but for fresh bones, that 'll do well, maybe a little touch of yellow on the others?

heres the c4d render, could be better with some SSS thought, mostly on the nose bit, and it need some mapping refinement for the inner orbital parts...

concerning my texture, i unwraped the mesh with uv mapper, send the result in photoshop and did a map in it with various photo found on the net here mostly

then tweaked thing here and there...
once done i've got a nice Bn'W Uvmap for the bump and another one slitly colored
here's the setup, in this one i didint wanted a too shiny mat so the specular is only at 40%, 40%, 0% and 0%. i also kept it quite pale cause most of the time i use that one for medical viz i do ;)

the light setup is simple, a slight orange area light with area shadows at the top, and a blue aera with soft and a white another at the sides

hope that'll help :shrug: and that the images arent too big...

While your materials are very good, I must say that the illumination is outstanding.
