Amazing work David, you have an awesome sculpting style,

I had this thread email me with updates but only got one there now, kind of odd

#102

Thanks a lot guys!

macaco: no one answered because my last post was crap! LOL

I made a few test to bake MD-bronze-antique-material-1! the goal is take advantage of the powerfull matcap system and use it on mid-res and low-res models with normals. so This is a few results from that test.

This is a render in max with MR just using a 30 000 polys mid-res with normals + baked bronze + hdri reflection (kitchen)

[]

This is just a test to see the baked texture on the model with 100% self illum material and no lights.

This is the baked bronze texture

this is a screenshot in max 9 with a real time shader in directX

Same thing with a Multires for for fun (I would never do that for a game I would retopologize)

Hi David,

your first render is very realistic, how did you bake the bronze texture inside zbrush if you dont mind me asking, was it from the displacement map technique, i mean how did you grab the matCap material if that what you ment ?

thanks

Great Stuff!!!:grimacing: :+1: :+1: :+1:

#105

wow…this is great…
the material looks really awsome… :smiley:

#106

Wow David! Really cool way to work!!! Without millions of poly in displace output you did a fantastic render… Kudo my Buddy!!! I must learn to do this pass…! :+1: :sunglasses: :+1:

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!! :+1:

Here’s a tutorial on how to bake Zbrush materials:
http://sebleg.free.fr/tutorials/zbaking.html

It’s from Sebastien Legrain’s(sebcesoir) site.

#109

thx 4 the video tutorials.
I really like your old guy.

One question.
The last material, in the video where you texture the old guy, looks very cool. Is it a matcap?

#110

Thanks a lot guys!

I will make a small tutorial on capturing the matcap but I didn’t use Seb’s tutorial because it doesn’t work with matcaps! I used zapplink!

Ha excellent David :slight_smile: :+1: - been trying to figure out how to do that :sunglasses:

#115

Outstanding David!, Im Going to use this technique on my next project, thanks!

#116

Thank you for shearing this excellent technique, I have only one concern , can you use it for production pipeline because all lighting information seams to be baked as well , or may be I am wrong , but I was personaly looking for such a technique but after came to realisation when you bake your material all specular info baked as well . :wink: :+1: If I am wrong, this is a super technique :slight_smile:

#117

Thank you for this tutorial, it’s very interesting and informative. Excellent sculpting skills too!

#118

i like the mr render with the textur very much.
and thx for the tutorial :slight_smile:

#119

One of the reasons i was looking for your baking technique aside from the displacement one is you can grab allot of matCap power which you just proved, and apply it in external render such as MR and have more control on rendering not to mention the lighting control, great tutorial as usual and thanks for sharing man :+1:

#120
