My WIP Chandro's concept Character 1

[chandro uttam]

working on my portfolio series
ive modeled the base mesh in Silo
9,836 thousand poly (whole body)
doing some details for my concept character
which im planning to render in maya's mental ray
it will have a beard and some hairs in different part of his body
just finish with his head and working on the body.
this is my first work with zbrush
5 division level
2518016 polys
can't go higher than 5 level of division
lack of memory

comments and crits are welcome.

heres an update
i decided not to make his body so proportional
by making his shoulder a bit wider
an old muscular creature and with an uneven muscle and fat distribution.
ill be working on the back now.
the layering in zbrush is awesome!

[chandro uttam]

updates, just finish the back though this will not be seen in the final work
coz it will have hairs. doing the arms & hands next

This character's texture looks very good Chandro!

Can't wait to see the further enhancements.... and the other characters in your portfolio series as well!

update



long, skinny fingers and wrinkled
ill be doing the leg and feet tomorrow night
kinda busy lately

Thanks my friend acsiawingco
glad you join the zbrush central, ill be waiting for your WIP thread

[acsiawingco]

Very nice hand textures I must say!
Looking at your work inspires me a lot..I'll definitely learn zbrush soon and post my works here
Having the skin painted on this will definitely bring it to another level.
I'm looking forward to it.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

really lacking some resolution doing the leg bumps and specially the feet area, got some creasing doing extra detail. i hope i added some edge loops in the base mesh
but quite satisfied with the result (this area will also be covered with hair in the final render)
ill use transpose maybe later.
(yes he has only four toes )

@ acsiawingco
Thanks a lot!! yes im really expecting your thread
Hope to find time to texture this :-)
i have a different project goal idea this Dec or do we?

Nice job on details!

I'd hate to be the one to do his pedicure....

[acsiawingco]

it's getting better every time!
good that you added expression on his face
I hope to see some dynamic poses on this character too!

[chandro uttam]

Thanks a lot KrakenCMT and acsiawingco!

time to update, working on Maya's sss skin shader.
all texture done in zbrush (polypainting)
4096X4096
texture size for whole body
not really intended for extreme close-up
2 spotlight front and back.
next will be the hairs, eyebrows, nose hair, beard etc.
cc are welcome.

[chandro uttam]

change the spotlight intensity and make it quadratic.
i used normal map and displacement map N-Subdivion of 3 (cannot go more than 3)
i rigged the character and did some blenshape
this not part of the plan but want to explore the animation
and this may take a while before i add the hairs

heres the wireframe

Very cool, nice texture and all,

I think to improve the render, i`d add SSS, it i`ll make so much nicer.

Keep up the great work

[chandro uttam]

Thanks Aiko world
quite dont understand what you mean
are you suggesting to use sss?
