Hi

I've been testing out clay sculpt rendering, something that isn't really part of my repertoire yet and thought I would seek out advice. Clay sculpt is a private military specialist. I wanted to give him a futuristic military vest reminiscent of Crysis suits. Final render done in Mental Ray.

I was wondering if anyone can find any problems with the sculpture (i.e. lighting, proportions etc). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Nicely done, those trousers look brilliant. I'm not a huge fan of clay colour though.
    The inside joint section between the upper arm and forearm looks a bit odd.
    The muscles are large and the transition looks off to me.

    Really nice work though, I think this one is your best so far.

    Hi guys

    @Yilativ
    Thanks, glad you like it!

    @Walrus
    I know what you mean about the color. I wanted to differentiate it from the traditional pinkish hue, but I can see it looks kind of 'vomity'

    Good call on the forearms. Will probably have to fix the proportions.

    Thanks for the tips guys.

    Yea I am not a fan of the color either. I like clay renders with a more neutral grey with a subtle base color, and then use to lighting to add some warm and cool tones in the image.

    Hi Bardler

    Yeah, I guess the yellowish green has got to go. Pity, I kind of liked that shade =).

    Hi guys

    Just wanted to show a quick update. Fixed up the arms like Walrus mentioned and changed the render material to be a more standard grey pinkish tone.

    Any C&C on changes welcome!

    Wow! awesome work. Definately top-tier surface quality. I could learn a thing or five from your work.

    My only criticism is the lack of 'crotch' bulk. I'm not saying give the guy a porn-star package, but even ken-dolls have a bit of a bump in the crotch: this guy seems like complete half-sphere from the navel downward.

    Like I said before though, Damn, this is impressive work.

    Hi KazeoHin

    Thanks, glad you like it!

    Haha, I can see what you mean. He definitely looks like someone whose had some 'lower body injury' :). I'll see it gets fixed up. Wouldn't want anyone to disparage his manliness!

    Thanks for the tip!
