High-Res Skin Images

ZBrush Artworks
#1

The good thing about the work on a photography studio is all the cameras you have to play with. I asked a friend to take a few pictures of her face with our 39 megapixels Hasselblad H3D, so that I’d have some nice high-res images to use as skin texture, make brush alphas, etc…

I put a few of those images together on a zip file for you guys to download. I had to save them as .jpg files (each .psd have around 100mb), but I'm pretty shure it hasn't lost it's definition. I also put together a preview of the images, so you can see what it's about. The images are around 6400x4800 pixels, except for a few ones I had to crop.

Hope it can be useful!!

You’re so lucky getting to play with a Hasselblad H3D, I’m a photographer myself and I’ve never even touched one. Thank you for sharing.

Your a saint. Really nice of you to think about the boys and girl (not even sure if there are any) over at ZBC :smiley:

Thanks Man

Hasselblad ?

oh

my

God

The sharpness is really impressible, as there’s no antialias filter in front of the sensor.

next time, you should try to light using a beauty dish instead of a octobox.

Wow… great pictures, what amount of detail!
always surprising how pitted and hairy seemingly smooth skin really is…

i am sure the comunity would love it if you posted more :slight_smile:

It’s nice to see that you guys liked it!

I’ll take more photos this week. More body parts, and a few pictures from a guy too… beard, a more hairy skin, wrinkles… etc.

If you have any suggestion, just let me know. And if you know a better way to light it, in order to get a better result for CG work, it’d be great!

you ask for suggestions so here you go ^^

when looking at the picture with the eye i wished to have a more “in front” lighting… so that you dont get shadows on the iris… i am no photographer but as far as i know theres a rig to mount on the lens that has lights all around? that would make the iris’ colour stand out more and would get rid of shadows… for textureing use shadows are always a hindrance. you could practically use that image as a texture without big modifications… (except the highlights of course)

apart from that your pics are wonderful.

great stuff you can study from, see how wrinkles and pores “work”, where specular highlights are etc…

cant wait for more of your pics to come.

thank you again for sharing :slight_smile:

Here’s another “thanks” for sharing! :+1:

Yeah, you are right. There’s a rig to mount on the lens that has lights all around, it’s called “Ring Flash”. I completely forgot about it, but I’ll use it to take the next pictures…

By the way, I’m not a photographer… well, not anymore. :wink:

I started to work at the studio (Magneto Photography) as an assistent, but then I started to study 3D… it was around two years ago. Since then I’m the CG artist of the studio, and I also do post-production with photoshop sometimes.

Thanks for the tip!!
