nice work:D
very nice potrait great job
WOW !
a very good job so cool
Amazing job! How did you make the hair so realistic? You can see each fiber and the way the color is varied makes it extremely convincing!
Great Work!! Man that’s incredible!!!
oh wow yeah I could see these being helpful at some point in the future. Thanks! I love seeing that kind of behind-the-scenes work.
Also, love the older one with the matrix-esque sunglasses - that’s one cool Obama 
This is certainly the best likeness I’ve ever seen. Your render is amazing. Thanks for sharing some of your texture work as well.
I would also be interested in what kind of lighting setup you used with mental ray?..it is such an all encompassing way to render that its hard to know where to start, any help in pointing me in a good direction would be much appreciated.
the hand looks really fake ;/

this one is your best, looks as real as it can get ;]
Thanks for the shader setup, it is most helpful.

You captured one of my favorite people. This is awesome even down to the grey speckled hair. Good stuff dude.
maybe you could share how many polygons you have used to build him?
I’m not sure I understand how you chose the color for diffuse vs epidermal vs sub-catter. I thought sub-scatter was meant to make skin more saturated, yet your example has it as the darkest of the three color maps.
Also, why did you create both bump and normal map instead of one?
BlueSpawn:first of all, i am sorry for my English,i hope you will get my idea:).for me ,the epidermal and sub-catter color were not the point,and overall diffuse color was the most important one.so epidermal and sub-catter maps were created just for the variation of skin color.
the normal map was creat from the high mod,because when i rendered this image ,the modle was 4 level subdiv mesh from Zbrush,and that was not enough for the detail.so i created a normal map for the rendering.maybe this way is stupid.
thanks to all your comments.
wow, this is just amazing. Very nice work!
the puppies nuts… top draw. fantastic work.
As has been stated by the forum moderators on many past occasions - politically explicit material is really not part of this forum.
I applaud the quality of this work but the subject matter is in very poor taste.
I object vehemently that an image of a socialist nutcase is present on this site.
It is just as bad as a picture of Stalin or Hitler and I want it removed under the guidelines as set out by the ZBcentral moderators.
What is good for the goose MUST be good for the gander!!!
When did a portrait become “politically explicit material”? You’ve made it political by using the words “Socialist nutcase”. It’s all about the art here.
COOL…I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!
So Obama isn’t real and you made him in Zbrush? I should’ve known :lol:
