Buffystyle vamp (WIP)

Hi!

Started messing around with the “human head 1” model from the zbrush bownload center: http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/download-center/download-center.php

And now i can´t stop!..man this is addictive!

I´m going for a vampire “byffy the vampire slayer”_style or something like that.

(Joss Whedon rocks!!..btw)

Well this is what i got so far. A few pointers would be nice since I´m a total noob.

looking good but turn off symmetry and mix it up a little bit… it looks manufactured

Thx! will do…

I´m detailing him now, trying to break up the his mechanic symetry.

Will post an image later.

Btw:

whenever i post on this forum it takes forever from that i´ve submitted my post till it´s pubished. Like 5 hours or so.
Is this normal?
Am I doing some thing wrong?

If I post an image the small icon version is emedietly visible on the top shelf, but the link won´t work for hours.

Ok som more details…

Nice, just mask one side of the head and goto town to break up his computer look.

Posts should be quick, unless you are doing a link from elsewhere or some kinda monster size file. Or perhaps you’re behind on your member fees. :wink:

Hey snak, the reason it takes a while before your post comes up is because you’re a new member. The mods screen it to make sure it’s not spam, well that’s what they told me when I first joined anyway. After a short while your posts will come up instantly.

Nice work btw, I’m not too familar with buffy, but I like were you are going with this. Keep it up! :+1:

ah…ofcause thats it. Tnx Black Crane!!

I dont mind waiting. Thay take very good care of this place. And that´s what makes it so great.

Thanks all for the comments…i´ll try and take it a bit further…som asymmetry comming right up! :wink:

:eek: Wow!! verynice work, I like it very much.When it’s going to have teeth and eyes will be FANTASTIC.

Tnx!

Struggeling with the teeth right now. A real pain:mad: …but it´s getting there.

Dude that looks awesome!!!

For the teeth just get the gum line blocked in and pull it out and work on them like there dentures ;)… Thats how i would do it anyways. :+1: :+1:

Thank u Soulstealer, really works, teeth are done now.

I´m experementing with disp, bump and normal maps now. So a render should com soon.

tnx for the response!!:smiley: vbmenu_register(“postmenu_313657”, true);

Here is a testrender.

Sculpted in zbrush using a head from the pixologic download center.
Displacement, normal and specular maps made in zbrush.
Rendered in maya using mental ray.

Next step texturing…

I know it’s a test render, but it’s hard to tell in the mouth and nose area what’s going on since it’s in shadow and there’s so much going on there. A little more light to reveal it should really help.

tnx KrakenCMT. I´m learning here so all crits and comments are recived with gratitude :slight_smile: .

The texture is coming along, i´m using zbrush and photoshop
(my first texture ever…yay!!! :smiley: , it´s a lot of fun.)

so this is it for now…

and keep the crits comming, that´s how we learn…

Hey snak, don’t take this the wrong way, but I think you went a little too crazy with the purple. :laughing: Lighten it up some and it’ll be fine. Also, can we see a render with the teeth in place? Keep going! :+1:

Verry nice model, great nose, i also think its 2 purple, and i want 2 say that the forehead has superb collors and a balanced purple.

nice journey GL!
