Cool love all of the veins in the arms, and the smile is awesome.

Hey, AWESOME work man. I’m really impressed.

I have a question. My biggest problems are always the pores on the face. Since you do it really good I ask you. How do you do these things? Do you have a special brush? You do a bumpmap apart in photoshop and than import it into your 3D app?
I’d really like to know…

thanks

Hi all! Thank’s everybody!

lijiankang: If you have nothing intelligent to say, say nothing thx.

superbmind: HAHA nice lol. Reminds me kind of a Oussama lol.

jinx3dn : I have some alpha for doing skin pores bumps but you can do it with photoshop to.

I didn’t have time to work on my shawn these days, I have an other character to complete and I’m doing a making of my arnold schwarzenegger work but I tweak the shadow problem I had on the teeths and I played around with the sss scale value of the gums and the teeths.

So I post it here. Hope you like it! I will fix the texture soon, once I rework on this project.

Nice. Can you photoshop some flanel onto him. There’s nothing more manly that flanel and beards.

Again, nice work Big Guns. I especially like your Arnold thread. I cant believe how much time and effort you put into that model. Its definately a great thread if you’re looking to pick up a few things on anatomy too.

MenagerieMind · March 26, 2019, 5:24pm

This is so awesome. But all this talk about anatomy…I just had to say, I love the eyes and teeth!

Hi all! Thank’s for the comments

Here is an update on the legs, really not finished, but most of the volumes are done, and it’s the longer and harder part to do, so the rest will be fast.

The foot are not done for the moment, will be on the next update probably tomorrow.

So now, i’m in sudi 6 and I can go to 7, so when I finished the volumes and all the details I get in 6, I will go to 7 to add fine and final details, such as veins, nodules,fibers, etc. That will make it more organic, I did some detail on the ass…

So here it is. :

And with the body, it give this for now, but the legs are really not finished.

And some test of z-brush shaders, wich one do you prefer?

next post probably tomorrow .

sorry, I delete the double post…

Geert_Etcher_Melis · March 26, 2019, 5:25pm

What can I say… awesome! !

DigitalDreamer · March 26, 2019, 5:25pm

Wow! Bigguns, You’ve done a fantastic job on this. All this talk about the flow of deltoid fibres?.. looking at your ref pics I think you nailed it. An amazing sculpt. One thing I would like to know is, did you first model in a T pose, or did you just sculpt first in this tricep pose? Also, using a mouse to sculpt this is awesome, you don’t need a wacom.

Big_guns · March 26, 2019, 5:25pm

Etcher : Thank you!

DigitalDreamer: Thank’s! It talk about a bodybuilder, not only about shoulder fibres :).
I sculpt it in the triceps pose, it was for a still, I did it in the front view first, base on my main ref, once I get it right in front view, I move on the side and back view to adjust all, it was a test to best fit the image because I had only one pic of that kind of pose, I cannot found the same pose on the net with a different angle of him, so the rest was interpolation, only the hand was skinned and put in the right pose(it’s the hand of my arnold).

DigitalDreamer · March 26, 2019, 5:25pm

Thanks Big Guns. Looking forward to your updates.

Big_guns · July 3, 2019, 5:24am

Here is an update of the legs, the final version I finished today. I will maybe play with the strengh of the layers of the veins, to get the final outpu in the renderer look the same(because with sss, it alter some details, so better to make it stronger to be ok at render time). So I add the veins,fibres,nodules and rework a little the volumes of certains muscles.

here it is :

and here:

I hope you like it! I will do a turnable soon, I don’t know how to do it, but gonna check on z-central…

Legs’re lookin’ great! So looking forward to the turntable! !

abe_Tamazir · March 26, 2019, 5:25pm

absolutly amazing wokr! also love the shader you are using (the wet gray one) is it one of Zbrush default?

Derek_Frenzo · March 26, 2019, 5:25pm

Great progress on this guy. Terrific muscularity. Are you a bodybuilder yourself as your name and subject matter suggests, Big guns?

Big_guns · March 26, 2019, 5:25pm

Hi thank’s all!

abe_Tamazir : Yes it’s a default material , it’s metal 01. It’s great to see any imperfection too.

Derek Frenzo: I’M training , but I’m not near from that lol. Training for beeing healthier, so not looking huge like that. I did like doing this kind of thing, like muscular monster or bodybuilder since I’m young( I was not doing bodybuilder at that age but super hero and muscular monsters), probable cause of all the great comics at the tv of the 80 , almost every hero was muscular, form thundercats to GI joe, to hulk to He-Man, etc, I was also looking the WWF and the warrior was one of my fav.
So I was drawing my super hero,monster and robot when I was a kid, doing BD, etcs. So now it’s time to doing it in 3d. It’s also a VERY good exercice for understanding the anatomy and it’s great to practice the volumes, the volumes are most important then details, at least for me .

Next thing I will do, probably a girl, it make a long time I did’nt do one… in fact, I did only one lol.

Wow, I have been blown away by both your Shawn Ray and Arnold Schwarzenegger threads! The level of realism you have been able to achieve with both the modelling and the texturing is simply staggering. I hope you’re still going to post the making of the Arnold model, as I would love to learn a bit more about your technique. I also can’t wait to see you do with a female sculpture. I don’t suppose it’ll be a female bodybuilder will it, or are you sick of sculpting muscles by now?

Big_guns · March 26, 2019, 5:25pm

sipowicz1993: hi thank’s !

I will post the making of of my arnold , he’s done, but for now I can’t post it.

For modeling muscles, no, I’m not tired of that since I like doing this, but my female character will not be a bodybuilder one, maybe a little fat one, or a nice girl.

I’m uploding it to the turntable gallery, so maybe tomorrow you will be able to check it there.
