I had a model that I did about 2 years ago in my Zbrush folder, waiting to be rendered.

With the release of Zbrush 4 its the perfect moment. I decided to render it all inside Zbrush and do the usual composite inside Photoshop.

Here is the result

And here are some of the render passes out of zbrush

Great render man. Way to make it in 3d and still keep the same feel and look as the cartoon with the render!

#3

Amazing!! Spot on resemblance 5 stars from me :+1:

#4

its amazing how you captured that cartoon look :+1:

#5

Ha! this is awesome. I love how it still feels like a cartoon, but is very much 3d. Great job!

#6

Looks amazing! do show us your sculpt without the color information.

#7

would you mind sharing how the nine layers are layered together (i.e. overlay, hardlight etc…?) Thanks in advance

#8

Thanks for the feedback :slight_smile:

moonlitmaverick - you should be able to see it on those 9 different renders?

If not here is a straight out of ZBrush render

I took a couple more renders than those 9 making different compositions for the backlight and front light and other painted layers.

But overall rule of thumb was (imagine each line is a set of layers in PSD)

Tweaks

Small paint over tweaks (mostly eyes)
Adjust levels and overall tones
Depth mask to help on pushing color values
Bloom

Shadow and Highlights layers (multiplied or screen)
Different MatCap material renders overlayed (gloss matcap, silky matcap etc)
Diffuse flat colors multiplied
Desaturated flat colors in “Color mode” to change the black tones
AO passes on the bottom

beautiful rendition of the original really love the 2d slash 3d way you rendered him out makes it all the more real… il have to give compositing a go since it seems alot of members here are getting great results from the bpr render…:wink:
