This thread is great ! :slight_smile:

Leigh : Fabulous work on texturing ! :beer:

I’m constantly working on skin settings, and i still didn’t find my own way… I mean the way i need to reach.

Anyway, i’m working on a wip actually, and this thread is fitting exactly :slight_smile:

Here’s my start for the head i have made sometimes ago, but i’m modifying to obtain a new character, and a skin training as well.

It’s far to be perfect, and especially on modeling, but i’m working… i’m working… :wip:

Hey Strike - great WIP :applause: That’s a cool model! :smiley: Looking forward to seeing what you do with it… I really like the eyes so far.

PS: You should post your maps >> H E R E << :wink:

Woooohoooo! Update time!!

Okay I know the hair looks REALLY CRAP, but it was a quick 5 minute Photoshop job, just to check that I am on the right track, and I must say that I am VERY happy with the likeness! :smiley:
I still have some minor issues to work out on the nose, and the lips and the eyes (which are a little too reflective I think), but other than that, I just need to figure out a way to make the hair just like this… I am going to have to model it, but it’s going to be a real bitch…

I like it! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looking better and better Leigh!:thumbsup:

btw, have you plans on creating the rest of his lower body?
:eek:

#129

Thanks guys :smiley:

Yeah Chewey - I am going to model the entire character! I have to create him in his full glory, hehehehe.

Here is another view with the ultra-crappy Photoshop hair…

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering - the beard looks different now because I actually added it to the texture maps. I am still obviously using some saslite on it as well, but I added beard to the painted textures so that I could control the thickness of his beard, as it is pretty uneven :slight_smile:

#131

Looking very nice, viggo looks way better with long hair and the beard than without.

#132

Leigh ROCKS!

#133

Thanks a lot, glad you guys like it! :smiley: Here is a quick little comp I did just for fun:

Hehehe I really need to make some proper hair now :stuck_out_tongue: That Photoshop hair looks really cack! :wip:

#134

Leigh - THE NOSE THE NOSE, it stinks (sorry i couldn’t help it)

The top of the nose looks really awekward, but the entire thing is very cool. I can only begin to imagine what your going to do to the poor guy when you rig him shudders.

Heh!:stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

#135

Leigh–

It’s looking really great! I’m happy for you:airguitar .

Did you use saslite or geometry for the eyelashes?

#136

Whoa! That look incredible! Very nice stuff :slight_smile:

I think there only a couple of things that could be tweked in the geometry…more importantly the nose. I think it could use a better attention on that part… It’s too thin perhaps?

Anyway, keep up the good work :slight_smile:

#137

Leigh

I thought you’d missed my post with my suggestions…Obviously you hadn’t, as the skin is no longer orangey and looks close to perfect colourwise. The lips look much better too.

Much more natural…it’s improved quite dramatically.

Really nice looking picture there Leigh…Look forward to see how far you go with it.:slight_smile:

#139

great work so far. Maybe little fixes on eyebrowses, they are kinda thin for a male, like a new beard. He defintly has life in it.

so far so great

Wow ! Leigh : fantastic work ! The beard is really looking awesome ! Saslite is definitly ruling !!
The composite shot looks totally realistic ! Now work on the hairs and my god you’ll have a master piece ! Great great great !!! :beer: :buttrock:

digones : hehe :slight_smile: About technics i used : I create my maps under photoshop. Nothing special to say about except i use a 1600x1600 Uvs (bigger is crushing my PC because of memory), and i paint pixel by pixel on it, using in some part real pictures of my own skin, and then using the stamp to duplicate some parts of the skin. The main thing on my rendering is lightening : i use a skydome (blue color with 100% luminosity, and 100% diffuse) and one area light on the right side (red color) and then activate radiosity. I have then my actual render, but it’s far to be perfect. About sharing my maps : hmmm… i’ll see what i can do :wink:
