alvin-cgi - and thanks you to, i try my best

#13

Now I back from ZBrush.
Time for some Textures.

#14

My first Choice was to Render it in XSI with 3Delight because Fast SSS, MotionBlur and Displacement.
After some Tests i turned back to Mantel Ray and used Fast SSS Skin + Displacement + Bump + Normalmap.
I Playing currently with Shaders.

#15

Shaders-Render-Composite Test

#16

The Grays
What can I say!
Rendered in XSI with MR.
Very heavy Displacement, every Character
split in Different Passes.
Out of Memory!
Perhaps too much Contrast.

#17

Ok…Im scared.

#18

Hey mate, they’re pretty creepy, as already mentioned :smiley:

Like a cross between a traditional alien, and those old wooden African carvings (as seen here: http://www.essenceofafrica.eu/Images/Product%20Images/Tall%20Statue%20of%20an%20African%20Man.JPG)

I like it!

Light coming from Final Gather Image-Based-Lightning, from the SEQUENCE in front.

The Sequence with Erth and A-Bomb-Explosion is 2500 Frames Long and rendered wit FG+SSS+Displacement+Image-based-Light = my longest Render Time ever.
The Sequence with Nature and Snake is currently in work.

good luck to all!
