Title: Portrait of an Old Man
Name: Tony Reynolds
Country: USA
Software: Maya, mental ray, Photoshop, ZBrush

This is the final render from my newly released Eat3D tutorial video on creating a realistic portrait in Maya. The model was created in ZBrush and the lighting and rendering was done in Maya with the Mental Ray renderer. The portrait is an age-progressed self portrait and was a blast to make. I hope you enjoy it as well.

I really like works like this - nice model and good quality texture. Skin looks good too. Only hairs would need some improvment (face hairs).

Cheers

Awsome skin shader, thinking of doing a max version of the tutorial?

darkcel

I am not an expert in 3D Max, but it may be a possibility, since I learned to do Mental Ray materials with a lot of 3dMax documentation. But right now there are no plans.

Thanks.

Very nicely done. The facial hair is a little odd, but otherwise it looks fantastic.

This is some CSI type stuff here man. Seriously, you could make a killer career catching criminals! Haha. On the creative side, I love the "bitter old man" expression on his face! Do you see yourself as a bitter old man in the future?? Haha jk. Great work man!!

awesome job! The shader on the face is stunning.

I can't criticize it because I could not do anything remotely close to this but if I was awesome and could back it up I would ask if the ears are the same shader as the head? It looks a bit shiny.

The skin shader is very convincing. I like the areas under the eyes and the reflection of the skin on the nose.

AnimAitor: It has animatable topology. If you want the model it comes with the video.

adnaninside: If you watch the video and need more info, you can email me directly with any questions.

everybody: thanks for the kind words and crits.

Great image, the moment I saw it and watched the promo for this tutorial I was sold. The best money Ive ever spent on a tutorial, in the first 5 minutes I was able to shave 15 minute off of zbrush/maya renders and the results looked even better. It filled in all the holes in my Maya Mental Ray lighting shading rendering pipeline. This DVD is essential for any trying to achieve hyper/photoreal human characters. Here my first character shaded and lit using the techniques on this DVD. I'm doing a test for Music Video and this brought my model to a whole new level. As you can see I haven't gotten to the hair portion of the tutorial yet

nice work,love how you manupulated it, spacialy how you detailed the face it convinces, but i fill like the hair is not realistic. but part of that i give 8 out of ten

darkcel
02-06-2011, 02:24 PM
The hair definitely needs some work. I just got to the point where I needed to be done with the video. So the hair is to the point where I took it in the tutorial. I've done better hair, in my Adama portrait for instance, but I needed to move on. Thanks for the crit, the next image will be better.

1. Skin shader
2. His glare

If I would be into character modeling, your tutorial would be my first choice.
