Stan the T Rex

Nice to see the noisemaker stuff paying off. It's worth mentioning that before this update you still could have achieved the same results by making a repeating texture in Maya or Max or whatever your 3D package of choice is. Tile it as much as you want and then bake out the texture for use as a displacement map or a mask to inflate your mesh. That's the way I always did it, but you can bet this will be my method of choice going forward. Nice work.

Love the snake, excellent use of noisemaker. Also cheers for that HDRI link, might play around with them sometime!

Some wip on my anaconda model. Again, this will be sectioned to show internal organs and muscles.

Love your work and your style, its what i am hoping to achieve within the next few years. i have been drawing natural history for some time and now want to bring them to life as you do within zbrush. I believe i am now getting there and want to create some really nice final pieces. Could i ask how long would it take you to model say the T rex, just so i have a rough idea of how long i would have to produce something.

Brillant stuff love it.

Could I ask how do you get your shadows under the creatures within your plain coloured backgrounds, what is the settings to use here, want to add some shadows under my new sculpt of an red back spider fighting a bulldog ant, thanks.

Hi Glen, thanks for the kind words.

For the shadows..just click the "floor" button..under the perspective button..grid appears..hit bpr.

Modelling something like a T rex takes time. For illustration It takes maybe 3 to 4 days but I do like to re visit older models and tweak away.

I've been working on some kind of crocodile character in the last 2 months, and I can say your crocodile is pretty accurate and looks good!
Nice job to you and your coworker
