[Intervain]

really cool character!

[elfufu]

thanks for the kind words brett, this character of yours is bad ass, ive been keeping my eye on this one for a while

[piz]

Wo-ha! Yessss! I love it!

Dude, did you use displace map or normal map with an "intermediate" polygonal cage? With which Render Engine?

Anyway... Really cool!

P.s.
If you want you may add some kind of rim light...

I think his Inner Child is trying to get out...

Hi there, looks great as usual, always great to see that its not only the Springboks that are of world class, keep Africa on the map...

I am still picking up every possible tut as to 3D, gives me sleepless night, but I love it...

Regards Ziggy

looks good, there wouldnt be any specular on him underwater. You can use other tricks to bring out the detail, like a facing ratio pass. Some subsurface on his fins would be nice, sss will diminish detail as well though. Its tricky, but you could get it looking real. Some chromatic aberration and little more depth of field could really sell it. water diffuses light like crazy, so use area lights for sure.

wow !...great character ! i like it !

[vlad74]

Looks awesome.

[brettSinclair]

Hello.
So I think I'm finished with this. Other wise it'll carry on and on.
In the end I decided to just show the model. So no fancy background or anything. Oh I also flipped it. Feels better this way.

2 pass render. Colour and Occlusion with a level 2 model from zbrush displacement and normal map.

Hope you like it

Brett

Intervain: Thank you. Glad you like him.

elfufu: Thanks man. Your work is freakin bad ass . Hope you like this render. Chat soon.

Jaycephus: HAHAHA. Nice.

Sigmund Hentze: Ag Ja. Thanks man. Hope the 3d isn't killing your life though. It becomes addictive. Soon you'll be shaking. HAha.

bneall: Thanks for the help Ben. Much appreciated

skulll_monster: thanks dude.

vlad74: thank you.

Cheers

[Crazy Horse]
