That is an assignment I am currently working on, at AIE Sydney campus. The shot is about a guy who summons a demon from another dimension by opening a portal in the car park, along with the demon, two other creatures jump through the portal in numbers and devour the summoner!!!. So far the footage is shot with a Cannon camera, but for the final we will be shooting with the RED camera.

That looks so good! Especially the screen render.

thanks jazylh

That’s more Mental Ray SSS shader experiments, I hope you like it. Can anyone point out a really good SSS shader Tutorial for Maya Mental Ray?

Also for the turntable is there a way to render Zdepth in Zbrush 4.0?? or is there a Z depth Material out there to help adding depth of field to the next turn table?

I am finished retopology and moving on to high resolution details and then off to texturing ( the current one is a really rough colour scheme)

wow thats gross, really good thou

for the zdepth you could apply a basic material and set to 0 diffuse, and 100 ambient.
and turn lights off and the shadow in render options off.and set fog on.
like this. may need to turn on render-adjustments for brightness and contrast. for aliased render you may need to render in best render though. not sure.

i dont use maya but a quick search on youtube i found several tutorials .
hapzunglam has what looks like a good one. good luck on your project.

oh wow thanks divideandrender, been wondering how to do render zdepth turntable

@ DivideandRender:

If you don’t want a specific image to create a thumbnail in the bottom row, change the ATT and /ATT to ATN and /ATN. ZBC will skip over any images with that tag.

also when you render with bpr u can save your passes and one will be a depth pass. Also… you can use alpha grab depth and get the same thing… alpha grab depth… export alpha to psd

Thanks a lot guys for the nice comments and the useful information I worked a little bit more on the feet and added some details to the face. I hope you like the progress. Attached as well you will find our latest compositing test. For the past few days I was trying to figure out the workflow from Zbrush to Mari, and back to Maya

P.S I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEEEWWW RELEASE OF ZBRUSH!!! Thank you PIXOLOGIC

Swee trick… I wish zbrush had 32bits based zdepth though.
