Step by Step. :) The model is created in ZBrush and exported to Maya. I took a picture of my hand, and imported it to Maya. I used Image Based Lighting with a sky sphere to simulate the light from the photograph and I created geometry to simulate the hand. I used an Area light to simulate the light in the picture The shadow of the character falls on the simulated hand. The character rendered in maya. The finished result! The character and shadow combined with the image. :)

Yhago! Check out this: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?170886-MatCap-Baker!-unofficial-Information-Installation And look into the thread for the latest versions, its VERY VERY good! What this does is it takes your sculpt, its polypaint and all the stuff you have done to it and bakes the matcap into it resulting in a FAR better texture map. What that means is that it will look MUCH MUCH better and more like it does in ZBrush when you get it inworld. Some (many) matcaps look fantastic in world and this tool improves things so dramatically I need to get rid of that old tutorial and start all over again. As far as I know you are the only one who used it, and that is either the result of you being extra smart or the result of the tutorial being crap.... The below image is a before and after shot using the MatCap Baker, before is on the left and after is on the right:

Hello to you all, I just moved to London from the Czech Republic (from which I stayed the past 1 and a half year, beautiful country). So I decided to create a sketchbook for the time I am staying here, which is going to be for a long time. I am going to post my personal work and the works I will be doing for the assignments of my course: http://3dclassroom.cgmasteracademy.com/ I hope you all like Here are some busts for the class with Justin Goby Fields:

Nothing too exciting to post this time, just a bunch of heads. I decided I should bust out some quick bust practice, this being the result. I sure needed it -- on the first try it took me *ages* to nail good proportions, whereas getting the third head to look good was almost painless. 1. This one started out as a riff on the frazzetta/shiflett bros barbarian. But in the end his eyes didn't look barbaric enough, so I gave him a 1930s haircut instead. Kinda reminds me of blaskowitz from wolfenstein now. Took me about 3 hours all told. 2. Girls are always tough because the forms and plane changes are so subtle. I used photos of a model called ryonen as a guide, some resemblance is there I think. She has a really interesting face. Sculpting took the better part of a day, as I was again struggling with fitting forms together. 3. This last one is the most 'generic'. Basically it was just to check whether I've learned anything with the previous two sculpts. Turns out I might have -- it took by far the least time to do, and was practically struggle-free. Too bad he's so boring, even with an iffy attemt at a patrick bateman haircut. Finally, I'm also including two more shots of that last nude I did, direct from zbrush this time, as I felt the vray renders softened the details too much. Hey, I didn't sculpt them for nothing!

I decided that I liked how the little print of the cat looked on the big one, so I merged 2 little kittens to the top of the cat model and printed them all as one model. I also printed it in glow-in-the-dark plastic. It's not easy to get a photograph of it just from it's own glowing light, but it glows really well. It's about 5.5 inches tall, and took about 15 hours to print. I wish it printed faster, but that is still faster than I could have gotten it back from any 3D printing service I know of, so not that bad.

This is my first thread and here is one of my newest models Hope you like it suggestions and criticism are requested!!

Hi Guys, long time follower and now it's time to give a bit back to this awesome community. I'm Daniel currently undertaking the Game Artist Academy course. I will on these pages show of, and hopefully get a little critique on the way, the work produced in this course. So let's start out with some of the a bit older stuff(we are almost a year into the course now). I will upload more in the coming days...
