Dali...

…wip

As always, base mesh in Maya, sculpt in ZBrush, render in Maya Mental Ray/FG.
Still working on the likeness and fixing stuff all over.
Texture is hand painted using polypaint in Zbrush. Final resolution: 4.2 million polys (rendered at 1 million polys, no bump, no normal maps).
No other maps applied. No eyelashes. Mustache is just a place holder. Nothing is final.
About 5 days work so far, in my spare time after work.

well fantabulous as I’ve said before! right now I feel the texture is a bit too noisy in the chest/neck area… feels a bit like a sausage :confused: [sorry! ;)]… I mean the noise is too big… the likeness is almost nailed though… sigh I’m such a fangirl :lol:

With thi fantastic image nearby my post none will take a look at mine!
Absolutely wonderful!:+1:

Great subject for a sculpture! :+1: Will be great to see this evolve. Have fun with those spare hours!

btw. can you tell how you created those fabulous eyebrows? What brush, or is it real geometry?

Sausage! LOL
Curious that you mentioned that. I remember seeing a picture of him using a bunch of sausages pretending it was a hat. I just can’t find it now to show you :confused:

Great sculpt as always!:+1: But this dude is too fat for Dali :laughing:

“like it” are you kidding me

I LOVE IT!

It’s absolutely stunning …as always I have to say

However my only Q is why didn’t you use a displacement, why render the 1 mil poly

Awesome likeness of the guy. Just looking at the thumbnail it took me 0.5 seconds before my brain said “Salvador Dali!”. That means it’s right on :smiley:

man!! amazing work!! wow!! really realistic shader!!

You know…I’ve been lurking ZbrushCentral for a couple months now, but this sculpt inspired me to register an account just to say “holy ****”. Great job.

<— Speechless.

Just awesome! I like the second view the most.

These Antropus peices are just a visual feast.
Cant wait to see more.
Any chance of seeing the shader setup?

Always that laugh of absolute pleasure when the image loads.

Fantastic and a perfect companion to Mr Feldman.

Pure delight.:+1:

Boozy

Always amasing to see your work!very impressive and jaw dropping sculpt!


Very Surreal …He looks a bit Paranoid…,i like the yellowish eyeball’s !
Will there be melting and soft watches in the final render…or a burning giraffe !
