Berserk

[shserge]

This is berserk - warrior of security, guard. It's low-poly model with normal map and the second with displacement map. Low-poly cage is modelled in 3dsmax, and subdivisions were added in ZBrush. Rendering by maya MentalRay. Hope you like, though textures can be done better. I have concentrated mostly on the modelling rather than texturing.

I used normal maps as described at
www.drone.org for mental ray
It's almost the same as to use it for maya software, but there is a little diffrencies (they are also described there).
The mesh please see here (the ears there are a sketchy because they are under the fabric):

Thanks for it. I would like to use tangent maps, but, to me, i yet did not find the aim for it. ;)
