In this case a prefer a 3D with Heart that photorealism without a soul. Amazing sculpts!

Zounds! Kudos on a well deserved Top Row. Pure inspiration!

Congratulations, great great job.

thank you all again for the massive feedback, its greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

here’s my (actually Ryan Kingslien’s) render setup. basically it consists of 3 main parts

  • some area lights, the color of the light is controlled with a mental ray mib blackbody node.
  • the material, a mental ray mia material x. i tried adding fingerprints and other small details in form of a projection, which i inputted in a bump node, and also the reflection. (for some models i used it, and for others i didn’t)
  • the camera, maybe the most important part, with 2 lens shaders, a photographic exposure, and a physical depth of field added.

the whole process is described in the gnomon tutorial made by Ryan, but i can’t find it on the gnomon homepage. I’m sure its up there somewhere… i modified the settings here and there, re-lit the scene of course, but the process is explained very well in his tutorial, so i can only recommend it. anyway here are the settings:

before i forget, there’s no global illumination, no final gathering, no image based lighting or anything like this, just the mentioned lights, and some (a lot of) anti-aliasing.

So much story behind these sculpts man. Amazing job! Your composition and renders are nice too, but with sculpts like that I’m sure they look fantastic from any angle.
So refreshing to see a break from the typical goblins/monsters.
GREAT WORK

Thank you for sharing your setup, hopefully someday I can approach your skill level in sculpting. It’s very inspiring!

#108

Love them all :+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:

Good lord, I am your new #1 fan

Incrdible

#111

Hands down… some of the most unbelievable work I’ve seen YET on these boards.

You can’t see it… but I’m clapping.

#112

I think I just wet my pants >_< o_o

#113

Very inspiring, looks real. Great man. Is this all complete z Brush renders or any third party soft. looks cool.:+1:

#114

Top notch. The expressions are sublime.

#115

quite spectacular!

#116

Wow, amazing work, love all of them! Congrats!

#117

Those sculpts are just amazing… but I guess you already got that by now, judging by the few comments I’ve read. :slight_smile:

So I’ll try to put in something constructive. You really got to get rid of this damned banding in the backgrounds… it’s killing the whole awesomeness of these things.

Work with 16-bit files… and add some noise on the background to help make it smooth…

Just my 2 cents.

Toppest of Top Rows… you could not have posed them better. The hands tell the story. They are phenomenal!

:+1:

These are some of the most amazing pieces of artwork I’ve seen on here in a long time. These would make an incredible series of limited edition statues.
Really wonderful work.
