Great work - love it.

A real sense of story about it.

This is so cool. I love your creatures and illustrations. Really inspiring.

I really like the post work, light shafts and backlight. Nice character and design!

Great atmosphere and storytelling!

thanks for the comments guys!

Here is an update on the single pass BPR tutorial… I know some of you guys are into making creatures, so I wanted to test the Skin Material I build for the tutorial with a quick creature concept I made yesterday. Here a screen capture of a SINGLE PASS BPR render from ZBrush, no compositing, 20 seconds render.
I hope you guys like it!

I will post a couple of other creature concepts and you guys can let me know which one you would like me to use to describe the process in the tutorial.

Aw man, this is gonna be great! Thanks for sharing this.

SINGLE PASS BPR render? no compositing? 20 seconds render?
…you had me at ā€œmaking creatures.ā€

I love this!!

OMG! I’m absolutely in LOVE with this ā€œlost creatureā€. GREAT job! I’m so excited for this tutorial! Do you post on YouTube/ Have a YouTube Channel? I don’t have FB, so i only use YT. Seriously man, I’ve been lurking here for a while, and finally created an account last month, and this just may be my favorite of all-time. I’d buy a framed print of this and put it in my computer room. Just love it.

What’s up guys! As I promised, here is the set of 3 alien heads. Let me know in the comments below, which one of these you want me to use for the BONUS of the Skin material tutorial (keep in mind this is just an extra bonus, the main tutorial is about realist ā€œhumanā€ skin).

All 3 are single pass rendered with BPR 15 to 20 seconds renders.

I vote for one.
and very curiously waiting for the tutorial!

cheers Jake

They all would be good for different reasons.

  • 1 because it's cool looking + easy to see the SSS + subtle specular
  • 2 nice flesh colors + specular
  • 3 easy to understand the SSS effect (ears) and rim light, also the paint texture over the skin has a waxy look and looks great.
*closes eyes, spins around, randomly points* 1

My favorite is the number 1 ! :lol:

1 also. Can’t wait to get my hands on this tutorial Pablander :slight_smile:

Vote for #1 here.

No. 1 please.

Really enjoy looking at your work, very inspiring! Like others, I cannot wait to see the tutorial.

Thanks for all the hard work being put into it!

Number 2.

What’s up guys! I’ve had a pretty busy month but I’m happy to say that I’m really close to finishing the single pass BPR skin tutorial!

this is the last image I will post before I publish it, and hopefully will get you exited! I know I am and I can’t wait to share it and see what you guys do with it!

This is just a little teaser from a screenshot I took while writing the last bits of the tutorial… it has only 1 light, obviously the skin shader, and it took 1.2 seconds to render (@ 1080 x 720) with BPR… no compositting!

tutorial coming sooooooonnn!!!
