ZSketchbook rudymassar

[rudymassar]

Hi all,
I thought I take this opportunity to open a sketchbook and start by posting a portrait I made for the beta 4R2B (sounds like a droid from Star-Wars).
It's a version of rock legend Gene Simmons (bass) from "the hottest band in the world" Kiss. The head model doesn't really resemble Gene Simmons, but it is clear that with make-up, long tongue, wild hair and pony tail, it is the demon from Kiss.
I've rendered a potrait and an "in concert" version, using a simple LightCap light set-up (not the background image was used as HDRI source).
FiberMesh... man that was fun. It's really quick and responsive. I run ZBrush on an early 2009 iMac and it handled the fibers real smooth. The GroomBrushes are so much fun too and during the beta lots of new cool GroomBrushes where added. Just like more other cool new features Pixologic gave us for free... again :P
Thanks everyone at Pixologic, especially Ofer for being a genius and Paul for being the best help.
