Painting and lighting screenshots

Hi guys, here's the update on the old man. I managed to retopo the shirt. Need more work on wrinkles to make them look more realistic but happy that I went through the process.

Polypaint & Lighting Experiments


Here's my first rendering attempt of the Walter White WIP. Don't really understand yet the interaction of the various rendered layers, but suppose will be figuring that out soon. Heavily tweaked in PS. 




Thanks Young for showing us some aswesome new tricks! Above are some quick polypaint experiments.

Hi guys,
Here's my first dynamesh exercise. I started this from a sphere. Obviously still very rough and needs lots more work to finish. I'm not sure if I'm actually gonna finish this one but I had lots of fun and learned a lot about the process.

Mr. White / Bryan Cranston Update


Hey guys, here is an update to the Mr. White / Bryan Cranston WIP. Thanks to Young for the helpful crits and suggestions! The eyes, I think, are way better now...I'm trying to focus on the wrinkles now. All crits are welcome!

Btw I started a (very quiet ;)) Sketchbook Thread on ZBrush Central here if you want to check it out.




Here's a first WIP pic of a F'Ecorche (Fake Ecorche - get it? get it?) that I'll be attempting in ZBrush. This shiznit is like some crazy candy.

More to come!

Mickey Rooney / Young / Old + Bryan Cranston


Hey guys, have been working on an old (first) and then modified young version of Mickey Rooney (references below). I want eventually to make a more finished ZBrush piece on Mickey Rooney with the theme of young / old...need to figure out the multiple sub tool thing though to make this happen. I'd also really love to learn how to (really) sculpt teeth. Thanks for looking, comments / crits appreciated! 





Below is a WIP bust of Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad:

Hi guys, this is Takashi. 
Just wanted to show the progress of the head from the last week's class.Worked on building up the face a little more and added the rough hair shape. Sorry couldn't find JPGs of the old man I worked off. I was so tempted to go crazy on wrinkles and details but held myself back, saving the fun for the next class :)
Any inputs and critiques appreciated!

This is one of the options I am looking at, I think he has really nice features that can be sculpted.  what do you guys think?
