Thanks everyone!

Posted some wires over at cgtalk, but I will get some screengrabs from zbrush and post here tomorrow.

As for texturing, I do my base texture in Zbrush while painting my displacement. No details just overall coloring. I find Im a lot more creative while working in zbrush and the texturing and displacement are so linked toghether. I then take that map into Photoshop and start to add more details to it. Dont really know why I dont do that in zbrush, but I just feel more secure in photoshop when doing smaller details, I guess that’s just one of those old habits…
The final texture size for this one is 2k for the head and 2k for the body. Much lower then what I usually do. Im starting to work a lot more with tilable bitmaps and mix maps instead so I can go really close without having to paint huge maps.

Anyway, some more images tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing your workflow, SubDivMe.

You said you touched up the maps in Photoshop…I’m curious did you UV map it in XSI or use GUV in ZB?

edit: you know, I’d love to see more details from this project like what your maps looked like before and after you touched them up etc…and any other info you want to share!

Thats exactly how I like to work when doing textures.

This is really outstanding work, I only wish I’d made it myself.

:smiley: wondrfull model, texture lightning well everything actually just perfect :+1:

emotively incredible… so much depth in the eyes… it’s a national geographic photo… :slight_smile:

man,i talked about it in CGTalk,im waiting for some extra stuff,as u said “tomorrow”…i really love ur character design! and its well executed!

As i said in CGtalk…Inspiring work…awesome character…hope u make your animation.

Yep, quite the benchmark. Yours is some of my favourite work at ZBC. Always looking forward to more.

Really excellent piece man!

I have a question: I´ve done a character that somewhat resembles your character, but my texture is nowhere near yours. And also the rendering I did was miles away… Do you think you could explain a bit more specific what and how you got the nice texture and render? I promise not to plaguerise your work, but I´d love to be able to produce work to this standard :slight_smile:

Cheers.

Excellent work. I’m very impresionate. Bravo.:smiley:

Hi, I really like your work, so I rendered it, hope you don’t mind.
I made it as a 1/2 latex mask, and changed a little bit skin texture and color.
:wink: Since I’m so new, it’s harder for me to render something exactly the same.

Thanks for your wonderful work !!!DSC00989-1.JPGDSC00980-1.JPGDSC00979-1.JPG
