Making some props for a archi-viz project. Gotta say Zbrush is so awesome for this type of work. Anyone hungry? These will eventually be ported over to be rendered with vray with SSS and such.




allez cuisine!

[johnchen]

Making more props for set dressing, modelling and texturing all done in ZB, retop'd and rendered in Vray with a glazed ceremic shader.




Have a great day all.

Sooo funny

- jojo75 : yes it is cute heh? xD

Heres a 4 hour study this morning, endomorphic body type. i don't usually do this type of body so it was a challenge, but I think it turned out OK. The dam standard brush with a negative gravity helps to get the undercuts between the fat and inflate with gravity helped to pull out the forms.
The basemesh was made with the mesh insert brush using spheres, I used this new method to try and emulate gesture drawing with ovals. seemed to work out ok.

Heres a new piece the "lamentation chamber" - Art inspired by the hatching chamber in the movie Prometheus.

The environment is still a work in progress, hoping to have more detail elements in it soon. the human sculptures are based on the figure study from previous post, just retopo'd and detailed the head.

Cheers
