vey good work man :applause:

[brankoman]

This portrait is so brutaly convincing :thumbsup:
congrats man ;)

[PBenjamim]

Very well done, but his forehead might be a tad small, even tough it might be possible, it looks weird.

[salimljabli]

very well executed dude ! i love it ;) !

some wire please ?

[ivanisavich]

If you told me it was a photo I would have believed it! Incredible!

[gorillajin]

Holy cow. Amazing work.

[victorior]

O.O!! AWESOME! and congrats :)

[mindcircus]

WOW, it is incredible! Fantastic job! It does look like photo! I'm sure it gonna get through to CG Choice Gallery

[inwheel]

Very real skin shader!! Front page!

[mohdmajid777]

Wow amaxing details be ready to receive an cgtalk honor

[fantasizer]

Unbelievable. I think he's living in a perfect world. There's no spot in the skin. Color is uniform throughout the entire model. There's no stain in the shirt. The random lips texture looks unnatural. His eyes look very young. Maybe these are the reasons why it's not shown in the front page.

[ilusiondigital]

please show us a wire frame and screencapture and my vote for an award is for you =)

cheers

[Mr-Evil-studio]

Great work man !
very photo-realistic, good shaders and model :thumbsup:

[AJ]

That is fantastic!

[Traxx.org]

Wow! Stunned!

Nothing to critic...except the bump on his shirt, a bit too sharp, exspecially on the left side.

Awesome, skin is very very good, but fabric is even better, imo. Also, a CG portrait that pursues some feeling communication, not only realism..
I'm eager to see some wires, thank you.

[farhada]

Brilliant work man ... amazing ... just amazing work

[HerrMacintosh]

Absolutely brilliant :thumbsup: :bowdown: :bounce: I have no words.

[wassimalam]

Amazing ultra real congrats

[SGDDik]

Very good work!!!

[far]

wonderful work, good job ;)

[Eugenius]

Wow! Incredibly realistic. Very well done.

[cobra6]

Very convincing! I love all the small details and wrinkles.

Cobra 6

[SCB]

The areas around the eyes, mouth, and nose are very well detailed and convincing. Nice job!

[Delcio]

AMAZING! I thought it was a photo!

[leocda]

As good as a photo. Everything very realistic.
Congratulations!

[Creieru]

one of the most realistic portraits i`ve ever seen. it surely deserves the choice award. stunning work.

[TimeBandit]

Let's see your work...I bet you can't even get near the quality of this guy's work...

[mj3dhagh]

Its pretty awesome job. Excellent render.

[rishiinamdar]

Absolutely stunning... Just perfect...

[ThirdEye]

Let's see your work...I bet you can't even get near the quality of this guy's work...

Most of his comments are good, no matter if he's the best or the worst artist ever. The only comment i don't agree with is the shirt one, the rest is spot on.

That said this image is fantastic.

[MAN0]

insane portrait

[jobesu]

Superbe work! :thumbsup:

[zokana]

I second that, and find it unfair when people refer to skills concerning the ability to critique a picture. We all have eyes and know how reality looks like.

I agree with fantasizer especially about the eyes - personally i’m missing the wetness there many old eyes actually have. The piece is technically outstanding and simply stunning, but on the other hand not a picture i would hang up on my wall.

[bymak]

very realistic..congratulations...;) pls tutorial... :) for example : shaders networks, textures and render setings... thx.. :)

[Eukleyv]

well, you achieved your goal :bowdown:

[Sil3]

Let's see your work...I bet you can't even get near the quality of this guy's work...


Can i make something like this? No not in a million years and it really is a terrific image, but the guy you are critiquing the reply is right in all words.

The OP will probably get a more valuable response from fantasizer's post than all the other praising posts.

Its an amazing work but it is not yet completely realistic, but an amazing work nevertheless, and if there would a be some DOF it could even mistaken some people that they were looking at a Portrait taken with a 85mm (or 50mm) 1.2/1.4 Lens :D

[bentllama]

great sculpt.

sadly the moment it starts moving the uncanny valley will creep in.

[BlickFang]

So good its scary! :cool:


You said this was your last work! Oh I hope it isn't! ;)

[RickToxik]

Whatever the other geniuses say, I thought it was a real photo, and even now when I look closer. It is probably the best cg face that I have ever seen since Benjamin Button. 100% real in my humble opinion.

I also like very much the mood of the picture, it's really like a driver's license / old man next door, which for my taste adds even more realism: the style of the picture goes very well with the style of your subject. Extraordinary!!! I think it's my favorite sculpting yet.

[A-TOM]

Great work man!

[everlite]

I'd say the skin pores are a little large in scale, slightly like an orange skill. But other than that, DAMN! thats the best skin shader ive seen yet!

[pendejoton]

AWESOME !!!

:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

[Turri]

wow nice and very realistic :bowdown:

[fantasizer]

Let's see your work...I bet you can't even get near the quality of this guy's work...
I welcome this kind of comment very much 'coz it gives me chance to defend. We all watch movies. Do you think we need to be able to create those shots in the movies before we're allowed to make comment? The answer is obvious. In this thread, I'm an audience. I comment in the point of view of an audience. I'm not asking the artist to allow my direction. This is very obvious if you read my comment carefully. I'm actually praising the artist.

[hosienmax]

good sclupt /;)

[fantasizer]

Congratulations for your choice award.

[meleseDESIGN]

I'd say the eyebrows doesn't fit perfectly. But other than that, it's well placed in the CG Choice Gallery. Great sculpt!

Maybe you could share a few informations about the skin shader?!

[lijueshi]

Hi,I have seen your images on another froum.
I know you put arealight with physical light use mentalray render.
It's looks real,I just think eyes have a little transprency.
Anyway,it's a good job.

[SebastianJW]

Mental ray?? Phwahh! Good job!

[ETCZ]

Thank you for all your comments!

First of all, let me say that I am really pleased by all of them - the
positive as well as the negative ones, as they are strong motivation
for my future work.

@fantasizer: I appreciate and respect your opinion and I think you
certainly have a point in some regards. Even though I would like to
agree with what TimeBandit sayshttp://email.seznam.cz/img/smile/3.gif

Sometimes it is hard to swallow someone's critic but it is the only
way to improve our abilities and fulfil our talent. I know my work is
not faultless (and trust me, I see much more imperfections in it than
you do). Yet I am quite satisfied with the outcome in this particular
case.

Most of all, I think much of this CG Choice Award. For me it is
actually a big dream come true.

Concerning the 'How To' for Jonas - I will try to post some more
settings and material soon here. Although it is just the same old
routine you have seen a million times before.

[fantasizer]

Even though I would like to agree with what TimeBandit says.
I do agree with him. Because this is the fact. But this is not the reason to stop people from posting. This is the point in my comment.

Another analogy: do you think you should have been the President before you have the right to vote for President? You answer it.

[aminlatifkar]

damn! it indeed looks so realistic and alive! well done, a very good job.

[ebasta]

Congratz, man! I was waiting for it.
Nothing is perfect here on Earth, but I guess that this image will be among the standards for quite a bit of time.

[Creieru]

Congrats ! I knew you would take the choice award. You deserve it! :thumbsup:

[BadgerBaiter]

Fantabulous work sir!!

[tomazowa]

seriously,give it a rest.
dont know which backwater internet forum you crawled out from,but youre basically trolling. any fcuktard with half a brain has an opinion so until you get to his level,do us all a favor -leave the penis envy at home and stfu.

nobodys perfect,but this 3d render deserves the spotlight its getting. karmas a b8tch -dont go hogging someone elses limelight.

[cgashish]

ultimate work............
keep it up

[miniwatt]

Unbelievable. I think he's living in a perfect world. There's no spot in the skin. Color is uniform throughout the entire model. There's no stain in the shirt. The random lips texture looks unnatural. His eyes look very young. Maybe these are the reasons why it's not shown in the front page.


you should take a closer look for there is age spots and you need to know more about ethnicity. why should there be a stain on a new shirt? and my grandfather has always been told he has sharp young eyes. hmmmm and it should be on the front page but then again they think they are professional when they really are not...sounds like high school socialism to me.....?

[miniwatt]

great work, however, you should do more than a driver license or passport camera shot with a model so well sculpted and textured...lets see him in some atmosphere!

[javiermolina]

Amazing, I like. Congrats!!

Awesome job :) Congrats!!

[nightwoodwolf]

awesome work :buttrock:

[astil1]

Super povedenej starec

[Ash-Man]

Just to be picky, the Shader is too waxy for my taste.

Yet it’s a very beautiful piece, congrats.

[sirielle]

Incredible realism, congratulations! :applause:

[MrPositive]

On close examiniation my only complaint for the most part would be the waxiness of the skin shader. It just feels barely off and with CG humans, that's all it takes. As well, his right forehead wrinkles come off way too sharp in my opinion. Nevertheless, this is fing sick awesome. I don't even want to know how many hours you dropped into this piece.

[Lincao]

WOW!! Just Amazing!!

[mitchgates]

Best cg human portrait I've seen yet! Very inspirational, sir. You should post this over at zbrushcentral.com too.

[Marvjc]

Amazing!!! Looks like a ID card photo :)
Good Skin shader, texture, light. Perfect!!

Congratulations!!

[msecure]

very realistic work. beautiful texture. Congratulations. :applause:

Wait, I got an idea! Why don't you try and make something that's half as good as this and then you will have the right to criticize him. Imperfection is fine but a stain on the shirt? No need for that. Does your every shirt have a stain? Well maybe since you sound like a hobo

[ykmn]

Looks fantastic! I really like the lighting, it's just perfect.

[aliaygun]

realy very good work

[tajfx]

your character would be animated and animatable, everybody would applaude.
what are you waiting for doing it ?

when audience require wires, they mean wires....
is your mesh animatable ?

[LorenzoS]

I love the short forehead. Or it could be lens distortion. Great work.

[PavelSokov]

Oh wow, that is as real as it gets! Lots of feeling in the eyes too!

[tajfx]

nice realism in there. i am still looking for wires..
is there something wrong with them ? is this a kind of unanimatable mesh ?

congratds btw

[em3]

Congrats on such amazing work!

[saturn-v]

good

good

good

good

[wakkamis]

Looks great!

[Dreamcube017]

I also would like to see a wireframe of it.

How long did that take to render? What are your specs on rendering this?

That is very VERY impressive.

As for animation, if it was animatible, I think it would be most accurate to animate it with motion tracking software unless you can capture every little detail in keying it by hand.
Animation adds a whole new dimension to the character (almost litterally) As real as it looks, average animation can rob the character of his realism and therefore bring us into that place we all know and love... uncanny valley. Now I'm not saying the creator is a bad animator or anything, just making a point.

Anyhow, great render. It's inspiring.

[StephanRODRIGUEZ]

Amazing job, this is perfect !

[ayabaco]

Wow amazing~ haha....awesome!!!

[Fredivoss]

Top work,man!

:)

[warmup]

WOW!! :surprised

Awesome!!

[Climax]

U did it, only thing i could critic is the low division on hairs at top of the head....but it is well compensated by everything else, so, no big deal, congratulations!

[THX1311]

I was watching the news this morning and was noticing the lack of perfect symmetry in most peoples faces
particularly the eyes.

Dont know if it is intentional, but you have achieved this subtle variation with perfection.

Congrats Mate.

No one is perfectly symmetrical in this world or at least I haven't met the person. Imperfection is what makes people perfect when you look at it from the perspective of an artist. Symmetry is the gateway to the Uncanny Valley...

[howoony]

Great! I like the feeling of the skin. :thumbsup:

[Sayell]

great job
amazing...

[eissahesham]

wow, that's such a stunning piece. I can't believe some of the negative critique you got. Its absolutely amazing man. Keep up the good work.

[MrFlamegoat]

My grandmother is currently spending her final years in a nursing home. Naturally, pieces with elderly involved have a very dear spot in my heart because of this and I've spent a great deal of time in nursing homes over the last year so I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents.

Although many elderly have the foggy or wet eyes, horrible blotchy skin, and terrible complexion it just isn't always the case. So to be fair, I can't comment on whether the eyes are too "clean" or "clear" nor can I comment on whether the skin is too "waxy" or too "untouched by time". What I can comment on, and what I feel comfortable in conveying, is that I get a sense of personality from this photo. Although there is something I can't quite put my finger on that does tell me it's CG, it is still a very convincing and personal portrait. The uncanny valley may not be completely bridged here, but in my mind I can let that go because of genuine emotion I get viewing it. It's very close, definitely closer than most.

Also, I find that there is something almost endearing about the stance and pose. Having photographed the elderly on many occasions, I find that more often than not they get a little stiff and straight on for photos. It's something that I related to the moment I saw this picture. It says "here I am, I'm too old to care" in a loving way.

Reminded me a great deal of how my grandfather tends to pose for pictures.

Good work, and I can't wait to see more from you. Award well deserved.

[gtora1982]

For me,the highlight of this work was the intricate skin,shocked me deeply!

[onexeno]

perfect :applause: :applause:

[waheednasir]

stunning piece of work!

[niumewang]

Amazing work. Friend

[Vedanta]

[bkravi]

You have done what I was dreaming for... old aged man!
You have achieved it with amazing details in modeling and lighting shader etc.

you are Great ! Many Congrats!!!

I wish to see a small tutorial on your workflow if possible...

[Madio]

Incredible work! Assimetry gives the realism and mood, 5 stars!

[luoxin0553]

vey good work man

[mayastro]

This is really amazing, the fabric is incredible, I love the asymmetry, textures and shaders are incredible. I have two critiques (although I admit I couldn't create anything as amazing as this).
1. The right eyebrow (his left) some of the hairs don't look like they're actually in the skin, they just seem to be floating on top.
2. The left eye (his right)... the pupil doesn't seem dark enough, and they eyes could be a bit more wet.

but I am seriously impressed nonetheless.

this is the one of the best (hyper realism) 3d portraits I've ever seen.

[michaelangeloart]

Did you paint the skin texture? Tell us something about how you added textures and if you used displacement maps....what maps did you need? Curious, Michael
