Thanks guys !!!:+1:

hey ! I´m happy to see that you use the translucency shader too. most people uses mental ray. nice to see your settings. I have a question. which map do you use for backscatter color…and which for the transparent-setting?
great work!
and how do you get the “cm” in the shader stting display?

Holy Moly! It’s like the “real” Spock who was later portrayed by the actor Leonard Nimoy.

This is one of the most realistic renders I’ve seen. Someone mentioned turning down the specularity, I think that’s wrong! Most of the renders don’t look real enough because they don’t have the “layer of oil” that the skin naturally produces. They usually look more like dry wax or latex than skin.

Excellent stuff!!!

hey guys , sorry for the late reply.

@ pitchepuck, thanks , I use just a simple noise map on the refraction and the SSS Map on the translucency backside color.For the “cm” is best to build your model on real proportions and then do a few tests, till you get to the right value.

@ Pigumon, Thanks , i’m glad you like it and that we agree on the skin shader :D.

Cheers !

Hey Guys !

This is my latest personal work. I've tried to build some kind of SF police armor, working with just Zbrush and PS, and studying the new great hard surface tools in Zbrush. I've started with a very simple base mesh done in 3ds max, and built the concept with Z and PS, and then modeled all in ZBrush.The renders ware also done just with Z and then composited in PS.

Cool model Andrei, I like the design of his chest armor. The textured render reminds me of borderlands in style. Pretty crazy to get everything together in one mesh in zb.

Awesome futuristic / hard surface suit. Great work! :+1:

That is one cop I would not mess with. Nice work.

wonderful character design well done :smiley:

Hey guys !
Thanks for replies!

Here are a few more images: those are the first "concept" images, the armor without the plates built in Z and painted over in PS.

Cheers!

cool work man!
great hard surface sculpting.

Oooh…missed some updates here :grimacing:
Fabolous work with the hard surface brushes, andrei! I just started learning how to use them and now we get another new 3.5 version and lots of new stuff to learn. Aaah. :smiley:
Is this your own design? VERY cool! Can`t wait to see what you can do with 3.5 r3

Hey!

@ d_lavega , thanks !
@ Moni, thank you. Yes you are so right , i can;t wait to test the new great stuff that seams to be in the new 3.5 R3. I’m so happy that Z is getting better and better, just when i thought that it can;t be better they bring new incredible features.That’s so cool!
Yes, I did the design, just playing in Z, and then a bit a Photoshop.

Thanks,
Andrei.

That looks so cool! Great start. Concept art is fantastic.

TX a lot

Hey!

It's been a while since I've posted something in the sketchbook. Here are some WIPs of some characters I've been playing with. One is a bit old and one you might know from the comicon challenge, but anyway here they are. Hope to come up with some other the sketches soon.
