Albert Einstein 3D Portrait

Alexander_Beim

Character was create in Maya, Zbrush and rendered with Arnold. For hairs I took maya interactive grooming. Model was hand sculpted without any scans, textures hand painted in Substance Painter. See more on my Page

Here you can See large full image on 3D Total. I had problems load hier the original. Strange.

Looks good. How did you get depth of field going in Arnold? I am trying to use it one of my own projects similar to this, and it's not working. I'm applying the focus distance relative to how far Maya is telling me the camera is from the model, but it's still not working. =/

ABeim

this is easy. Look on my screen and make the same settings.

no, top place have no matter. only in Arnold section. If you wish make stronger DOF increase Aperture Size.

Yea I just tried without the top setting and it's still working. My problem is that the foreground (closer to the camera) is being blurred and what is in the background (farther away like the ears) is not blurring. Is that because I'm using the wrong Focus Distance?

Alexander_Beim

yes)

ABeim

yes wrong Focus Distance

One of the best 3d model likeness of any person that I have seen in a while. Beautiful art.

Ok thanks. What focus distance should I be using then? Maya is saying it is 264 distance from camera. Is there a way to know which distance is correct?

Fantastic!  This is by far the best attention to detail that I have ever seen in a portrait render.  The hair is so well executed !

make locator and place it on the place for your focus distance. Distance from locator to camera will be your Focus distance. Wenn you take focus distance from object, you become distance to middle of the object and not for the surface

Ah ok that worked thanks a lot man. One last question, did you do a lot of work on the images in photoshop after you got the initial renders out of Arnold? Your images seem to have a nice painterly effect that I'm not getting directly out of Arnold. Thanks.

no, I did not a lot. Only background and some exposure settings. This is original rendered image.

Looks really great. I'm trying to get results like this. I'm doing okay with the skin. I have no idea how to do the clothing fabrics and stuff though. How did you go about the clothing? Did you use any tutorials you might be able to recommend?

MrDaveDon

Awesome work, textures look good. I think the clothes needs more love, so far so good.
