nice work henry! i like Glurp alot and also rhino dude man in white and the nude with tattoo is coming along aswell

[henrysouth]

ooooooo why hello there rakesh. christ i see you all day and now your invading my online world too. DAMN YOU RAKESH!!! but thank you for the kind words.

[henrysouth]

a little something from term 3 at VFS that i was considering re-rendering and putting in my showreel. needs tweaks… and eyes.

[Cadmium77]

Whoa dude, you’re the master of skin texturing. Wanna give us a bit more insight into how you pulled this off? That’s some totally impressive stuff.

LIke, is that purely ZBrush rendering or did you do those four heads in Mental Ray?

[henrysouth]

hey Cadmium77 thanks for the kind words! the second head was handpainted using Scott Spencers polygone painting technique, if you dont have the book Zbrush “creature creation” i would definately recommend it to start out, and the others further up are all photo-projections from Zapp Link. more to come! Henry.

[henrysouth]

oh and all apart from the top human and rembrants man in white are mental ray renders.

[henrysouth]

ok tweaking out the skin shader a bit thanks for watching. C&C always welcome!!

sorry, forgot the other view of this character, would like any input on suggested pose’s. thanks again guys

[Disco_Stu]

the last body looks nice.
the other ones are ok too.

but in the time to come i think you should really put love and effort into some original models and concepts.

vfs is a damm expensive place and you wont want to leave it with a reel thats just “ok”.
im guessing that a lot of potential workgivers dislike vfs simply because they are self thaught and see it as a rich kid school. for those kind of people you need to have proof that you are worthy of calling urself a vfs graduate and full grown 3d artist.

go grab some concepts and then model your ass off! right now its more a collection of wips and doodles.

i hope you understand what i mean. this is in no way supposed to be offensive.

now go ahead and impress us. that male full body sculpt you have there seems like a great start for a character

Hi, very nice wip’s.
Model your ass off the rest of your VFS days
Think about that you won’t have 24 hours a day to model after your school days, specially if you land a job.

Keep up the good work.

[henrysouth]

Started the tattoo for my character tonight and im putting this one to bed once ive finished his hair and japanese style thong. (sorry i dont know the proper terminology)

[P_etur]

Good progress, the hair on the back of his neck looks strange, might want to take a look at that

He seems to be missing set of love tackle… Where’s his thong? Nice renders.

[henrysouth]

hehehe yeah there is that, he is a bit action-man esqu, but that should be fixed when i finish his boxing shorts.

[Pooop]

lol ! love tackles!
anyway nice stuff man! really love ypur models especially the little alien thing looks awsome!

but wait did i hear THONGS? like small underwear?

[henrysouth]

just an update on my progress. a couple of scars and a few knicknacks and im going to call this one done. at the moment my total time taken is about 6days base mesh modeling to render.
