So I have run into a problem, i'm not sure if its just me or if this is a zbrush bug, for some reason my materials are being lit seperately and in some cases they are just plain flat black. Admittedly I am still a newbie when it comes to ligting in zbrush, so maybe I am missing something. See the screenshots below, if you look at some of the materials they are flat black and seem to be lit seperately.

Thank Cherub Rock. Indeed, the spatial structure of the heart is difficult for mapping. Indeed left ventricular wall may be thicker. In athletes, even very thick, but like many other characteristics a personal attribute, depending on the load of the heart. But thank you for your advice and I think I will do a little thicker. Slocik, heart valve and the wall, of course, are two different objects. Useful was a brush SnakeHook and rebuilding the grid by DynaMesh, then mostly simple sculpting. When I did this work was not yet useful function ZRemesher :-) And the last little addition to showing my work on the anatomy - the small intestine. You can see the formation of cell layers and villi by using micromesh.

Hey guys! Thanks so much for all the comments I'm glad you liked the last illustration I made. In fact, I managed to take another "photo"; of the creature before it saw me and went away, here it is: Also here is a bit of a breakdown on how I made this dude and the illustration process in Photoshop. hope you guys find it useful The model comes from a dynamesh sphere (the antlers are zspheres turned into skin and "dynameshed" it), very simple modeling. The only thing it might be worth mentioning is that the stylising of the antlers was done with the Dam_standard brush, Inflate and Standard brush. The texture of the skin is just polypaint and I used the Standard brush with colour spray and a doted alpha to generate variants of colour and to grow the fibermesh with that colour information. I masked portions of the body and face to create separate subtools with fibermesh to make it more manageable and to have more control of the length and "flow" of the fibers. The render was done with BPR and I rendered 4 passes plus mask, shadows, AO and zdepth. The compositing of the character is very simple too, here it is: NOTE: I took these screenshots from the process of the first illustration. For the second one (the one in this post), the compositing is exactly the same, but the shadow pass is stronger and I got rid of the Key light altogether. For the backgrounds and composition, I wanted a lot of depth of field and I knew I was going to blur things out, so I didn't spend too much time detailing things, instead, I tried to get the right shapes for the overall composition, to help guide the eyes of the viewer to the character. Here are a couple of GIFs to show a bit of the process: Lost creatures "shot 1" Lost creatures "shot 2" Let me know your thoughts! happy Easter!

thanks man! very appreciated, i would like to make soon another tutorial(s), also for free (if time allows ) I post some characters i had fun workin on at the beginning of the year, they are/were supposed to be used on an animated project with caricatural cartoon characters, but seems like right now it has been put in hold for an undefinite time, so i feel free to post'em as fan art (they are a bit silly, but i think they were coming out nice ). some flaws here and there but as the job was paused i didn't have time/will to go and fix things :P
