Rubens himself would have approved and would have probably added you to his stable of artists which was like the ILM of his day

Insane man.
To knitpick, only your glossy reflections seem a lil too strong - looks too polished. That might be what you’re after, I just think it takes reality away from the properties of real marble.
But this really is a 5 star job!

Hey Giom! Thanks, dude! You are right! I am using a different HDRI map for reflection now… Hope it gets better!
Back ground is part of a photo i downloaded… interior of some church, I guess. Luckily, the colors sort of match with the HDRI map I am using for the reflection pass!

nice transposition from the 2d painting to a 3d sculpture. I like how you smoothed some of the detailing to make it look more like it was really carved from marble. excellent. Is this the finished render now or are you still doing work on it?
hey Anand,this came a very long way since I’ve last checked man !! I love the latest render,very cool marble shader and its showing the detail you’ve put in the sculpt pretty well
looking forward to see the final piece in the gallery !![]()
