Very nice render! Very Epic like.

[eldee.s]

wow, don't know how I missed this one... fantastic work! care to share any of your workflow for the hard surface details? did you build them out in a poly modeler and then bring them in for detailing, or sculpt the whole thing using flatten/pinch, etc?

[barbarossaX]

wow , cool model and very nice render , detail. cool!!!
Stephenrminkin , how many polys when you render in the 3d software?
do you render this model with displacement?

[SolidSnakexxx]

Rocking cool character there Stephenrminkin...So i7 is one nice processor?

[jaystein777]

Dude that's looking Badass, but on the fleshy parts it looks as though there are holes punched in along the collarbone and around the neck and abs, maybe those areas need some refinement. The hard-edge stuff is phenomenal.

[Stephenrminkin]

ZedHead- All the hard surface object were created in 3ds Max then detailed in zbrush.
Ecir- Thanx
Fabianloing- Thanx
Webhead-Thanx
Mind Symion-Thanx

BillyT- Thank you, I am currently developing custom armor.
Cherub_rock- lol, why do all character have to have mean faces. Thank you
Menty- Thank you, Ill post some wires soon. The way a I get normal map’s is to optimize the Zbrush mesh and import into Max. I then create the low-rage game asset, define its UV’s then use the projection modifier and render to textures tools to bake out normal, diffuse and AO.
Evilsmiley-Thank you, the new computer has been a life saver.
Dustinbrown-lol, Thank you
RockinAkin, Thank you sooooo much.
Nickz- Thank you
Eldee.s- Thank you. My workflow for hard surface will almost always starts in 3dsmax. In max I will define the overall shape of the object then use inset and chamfer to make the form more solid when sub-divided. Then export out the low end and import into Zbrush for details.
BarbarossaX- Thank you, The locust is around 10 or so mill faces after optimization. I didn’t use displacement maps, just the raw optimized geo from zbrush.
SolidSnakexxx-Thank you, The I7 is a great processor for the money and it over clocks well.
Jaystein777-Thank you I’ll give the torso just one more detail pass

Amazing man, great looking....

You should apply at Epic, I'm sure they would be interested in your profile

[gpepper]

woah !
amazing one ! a future toprow ?

[Aberrant]

I am in awe, simply amazing detail. Its top row stuff in my opinion. I must subscribe to such great work!

I am at a loss for ways to compliment you . uhhhh stunning? yeah stunning is good. keep it up!

[Danos3D]

It looks a lot better with the GI and Final gather, the details really pop in the new render although the white background should be changed to something else.

[EvilSmiley]

EvilSmiley-A fantastic book! I got the Character Modeling 2 book when it first came out. My whole production pipeline is based on Kevin Lannings workflow.

Mine too After reading that book. And yeah, I agree with most everyone here this is definatly top row material.

[Dong Won Yang]

Graet! that's a nice details and sculpt.

gpepper- Thank you
Sebcesoir- Thank you, To work for Epic games is the dream.


hey everyone. Just recently made a game mesh from my high res gears model for my game development section for my demo reel. I just did the first texture pass and want to get some feed back before I do the next revision. Tare it apart!

highest LOD- just over 10,000 faces, 2048 normal, defuse, spec,

[epiginosis]

That is an amazing sculpting job! I don't think the colors are very interesting yet.
