Hey everyone!

This is my first post here..I used myself as reference for this work. I worked four months on this project, it is my first 3d portrait. For base the model i used Maya, and the details i made in ZBrush. Hair, eyebrow and beard in maya hair. Lighting and rendering with Mental Ray in Maya. Composition in Photoshop. I have a lot to learn, and this is an awesome place.

Thanks :smiley:

One thing Iā€™d recommend ā€“ and itā€™s a common mistake, so donā€™t feel bad! ā€“ is to use an actual image of some sort for the reflection map in the eyes. The eyes are the hardest thing to pull off because itā€™s what people always cue into when theyā€™re looking at a person. Windows to the soul and all that jazz. So when the reflection is just a generic map, people are quick to notice that somethingā€™s not right. They may not be able to say just what it is, but they do pick up on it.

Check out this thread for an example: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?174372-Realistic-USA-Ranger-Portrait. There is a bright reflection from a window or something but thereā€™s also a lot more there and it makes the eyes come alive.

Regardless, this is a great first work to share at ZBC. Weā€™ll definitely be looking forward to seeing more! Be sure to share more info about your ZBrush techniques, too ā€“ people here love that. Wonder why? ;)

Amazing pieceā€¦ My only critique would be the wrinkles around the corner of the eyes look a little heavy.
hair and expression are really good

This being my first 3D more realistic that I could do today, tried to explore, search and find the best way that I adapt.
Everything is a set of a learning experience.

Kudos on a GREAT first post!

Aurick gives sage advice!

Iā€™m going to use that eye reflection tip on my next portrait.

Hi Vitor, hope u dont mind if i found a picture on ur blog, i like ur texturing ,rendering skills in mentalray but is not those skills i doubt u have.To be honest at first glance the image looks great but after i saw ur sculpt i felt my eyes were cheated.Some forms are ok but i think the pore detail are bad and the volume of the flesh surrounding the teeth is also bad.I miss realistic forms and volumes,flesh feel in ur model.
I feel like its an quick push and pull to lock good in Ur render camera and if u make an turntable render it falls into pieces and cant hold anymore on itself as an great piece.Thats me ,i dont like to see this in an otherwise great render.
