Leebert, is that a photograph? it looks so real.
…is that rendered in zbrush?

… Just another abstract…
Yes Zbrush permits some great fantasy of image

Wooooow Leebert! That’s just AWESOME stuff! 
I lóve that photoreal look of it, while it just are ‘some simple weird models’! Awesome! If you’d make one at print resolution, you could print really interesting prints of it, and make lots of money! 
Could you tell a bit about your rendering, rendertimes, materials, lighting…? I assume you used the uni-settings of the light? I’m just very interested, as it’s such brilliant art!
We want more!

hey Leebert, i really love this stuff of yours! Any insight into your process would be great if you have the time. Keep them coming 
What great lighting and texture!
…looks kinda like a bowl of cherios left out to long.
This one looks much better at a larger resoultion but that’s hard to do when images have to be smaller than 200k.

All the renders are in zbrush and then I bake them and use the various highlighting and intensity tools to enhance the the lights and darks. After that I use photoshop to do color variations.
Wow, that last one is amazing. I didn’t think it was a render at first glance.
Very beautiful.
great abstracts! i love them!
I really dig your work! It makes me think of if we found living organizms in another planet thats what we’ll see
Those berries lookin ripe ta pick;
I squeezed 'em with my eyes.
They got a feeling, suppulent;
PrimeNjuicy extraplump.
I bet they gots a flava,
Like a sweetNtasty jellycream.
Your work is inspirational to me. Keep it up! Please!
Zbrush is quickly becoming my instrument of choice for making my own abstract-ish-ness-things.
I think we would all be interested in glimpsing your process on some of these. If you don’t have the free little ZTimeLapse plug-inyou should check it out. To illustrate what it is capable of I attached a quickie.
Also, I’ve been experimenting recently with creating 3-D anaglyphs (the ones you see with the red/blue glasses) using Zbrush and Photoshop. It would be interesting to see some of your images in that dimension. Check out my anaglyph thread. There is a link in my first post to some instructions on how to do it (Thanks user cb3d!), and I have posted my own partial (WIP) comprehensive guide (…partial comprehensive guide? Jumbo shrimp?) on the subject of Anaglyphs with Zbrush+Photoshop. Someday I may even finish the guide. Wouldn’t that be something.
But enough about my trip… Love this stuff. Keep experimenting.

NoteToSelf, I’ll have to check out the anaglyph stuff…looks cool. I don’t know how usefull ZTimeLapse would be though since so much of what I did to create those images was experimentation. I need to just sit down and a proper tutorial I guess.
Well, I guess ZTimeLapse wouldn’t be exactly useful as any sort of specific tutorial since you don’t see any of the tools or whatnot that you are using.
I’m really just interested in watching it “grow” as you experiment; like a little “Grow Your Own Art” kit where you put a tiny packet colored thumbnail-crystals into a magic Leebert solution and watch them “really grow.” A seasoned Zbrush user can probably deduce 70% of what you are actually doing from those thumbnails. You did mention that you do a lot of post work in Photoshop with the color, but even there it would be helpful to know what the last frame of your Zbrush session looked like in comparison to the final product.
Your approach seems to be born of improvisation, and therefore inherently difficult to document as a reproducible ‘technique.’ As you explore the VAST realm of what is possible within Zbrush (and beyond into Photoshop) it is plain to me that you are having a ridiculous amount of fun in the process, as evidence by your delightfully playful images.

Just all of those images are só awesome!
It could be very interesting to me and other members, to see some of the different passes you rendered out…! So that we can have some insight in how you really composited it together! :rolleyes:
