did u do all the hard surface modeling on your space dude in zbrush? sorry if this has already been asked and answered but I am simply too lazy to read the whole thread. btw the latest orc fella looks awesome.

thanks sarakawa! the marine armor was started with very simple geo in 3d max then i took it to zbrush to further flesh it out/concept it, then i took it back to max to build the final

Could you share your setup displacement (and what version are you using).
Thanks

Thank's for your info , and great update.
I did a mistake: put every setup like yours but not many iterations th show up the detail..... speed the iteration up and ....voila', have a displacement

great job on the wrinkles. Only critique is there seems to be something amiss with the nostrals

[Aberrant]

Awesome sculpt. The wrinkles have a beautiful flow that all goes together. Nice work so far.
