damnit, now you got me hungry!
so, do tell what exactly is stupidly powerful hardware? 
makes me think that I havnāt had steak in a while. Mmmmmm meaty goodness !!
I donāt really like meats at all but this is a great render 
That last bust is just excellent for an hour of work. I wish I was that skiiled. I agree with you. You should do more of those. The slab of beef is exceptionally done as well, great texture work.
Looks great 
!
Man your control over the details makes me want to cry. Does that take a lot of time to get done? Also iād love it if you point me to some of the tutorials youāve been watching, cheers mate, fantastic work!
Thanks very much guysā¦ the actual renders are over 4 times the size of the images here; i think the plan is to display and zoom in to show off detailsā¦ not entirely sure but will find out tomorrow 
Julian, some very high-specād i7 12core machines
Taalart, the whole thing took around a week and a half, that includes stitching textures together from photos, (to get only the most delicious details :)), working the sculpt around those details, then adding extra sculpt details and polypainting those back into the textureā¦
I do think looking close up that you can see where i often got bored - the strokes are sometimes too broad, sweeping, generalised, some of the texture details arenāt painted in where they were vblurryā¦but the whole works, so iām happy enough to leave it at this
These new multipass renders have been great fun and BPR rocks!
Last one of the meatā¦ a couple of shark renders coming

Fantastic!
This meat is stunningā¦ makes me hungry 
Starting to droolā¦
I think iāll have to get a steak out of the freezer for supper tonightā¦
Fantastic Jobā¦
Thanks guys ā¦ promise to pop by and see what youāve all been up to as soon as this is all over!
trust me though, a week of looking at that was nearly enough to turn me vegtarian (iām sure my wifeād love that though :))
Here is another stupidly big render, this time of our shark:
Modelled by Darran Knight
polypaint/spotlight textured by me
Enjoyed doing a fake sss on tooth, but need to model more detail into it first before really going to town on that one
Show tomorrowā¦nervous, excitedā¦ wibble

one last one, because it was fun and it has the feel of the alien poster with the eggā¦ might make a good poster for our movie
thnx for looking in guys, will be round to check you all out after the show
cheers

Yes H ,
Fantastic Machines
It was a fast machine i 7 12core . the fact that it was a duel CPU machine with 24 cores . 48 rendering threads .
Cinebench scores were through the roof ,when I saw them setting up and testing for the show at this chaps house.
And as a teaser ,because H has mentioned that we have a new sponsor . A official announcement has to be made ,which takes a little time .
Lets just say we dont have another software sponsor .
Very nice machine indeed
Great Work Herman as always and your matte of the JAWS movie sky is gonna rock !
Heres to swimming with bow legged women !
After seeing how excellent Darukinās latest sculpt was, but that he wasnāt as confident with his texturing, I wondered whether it 'd be possible to texture a model without spotlighting or polypainting at all but rather layering up lots of different Zmaterials, comping them together, and simply erasing what wasnāt needed/wokringā¦
Iāve had enough for the evening, so jsut added some quick mats for lighting, but itās quite clear that actually you could just work with Zmats ā¦
ā¦of course, if someone knows how to blend between mats when painting them on in ZB, thatād be best of all?
WOWZERS like it very much
Looking nice and gory Herman. I would suggest that you use gravity on your brush when you do skin folds and wrinkles. Give it a try !!
Great Job man !!!
Disgusting. Especially the tongue and maggots. Great sculpt & texturing/materials experiment !
Fun doodling between Sculptris and ZBā¦
Now itās all roughed out (and I think it finally scans?), itās time to sculpt all the elements properly
Finally, a bit of time for some progressā¦
extended the height of the concept to make it feel a little more claustrophobic, submerged in the foliage, though for that to work i might do more of a wormās eye viewā¦
ā¦ started as my first doodle in Sculptris, but iām modelling the various elements properly in ZB now as i feel more comfortable detailing there
