Hey guys, my name's Anderson, I'm a self taught student of 3d modeling and sculpting (for about one year now). I really hope you guys can help me improve with your crits and comments. Thank you.

Here's a switchblade I finished these days. Highpoly, 3dsMax + Zbrush.
Hey kinetic, thank you very much, I'll keep 'em coming!

Some kind of Snakeman thing.

Just a simple bust I begun yesterday at night and finished this morning.

I really like the snake thing. how did you do the scales?

Hey Sean, nice you like it! Thank you! It was pretty fun to make. For the scales I used a combination of hand made (using clay buildup, dam_standard and trim dynamic brushes) for the face and back, and the Zbrush surface noise with a snake scale texture I found on the net. I made a note to remind myself of the process later so here it goes (I've made a quick translation so forgive me if there's any mistake or any confuse part):
1.store a morph target;
2.make a surface noise projection of front view (it also projects in the back so, if you don't want it, protect the area with a mask) choosing the alpha you want to apply;
3.write down the values used in scale e strength so you can re-use them on the other views;
4.apply noise;
5.With the morph brush clean/erase the stretched projection on the sides, top and bottom of the mesh;
6.delete e store a new morph target;
7.delete the surface noise;
8.Make a new surface noise with the same alpha and same values of scale e strentgh that you wrote (now projecting on the sides - once again, remember that the projection is mirroed on the other side);
9.apply noise;
10.with the morph brush clean where the textures overlap with the anterior (front and back of the mesh);
11.Delete and store a new morph target;
12.Repeat the process for the top/bottom of the model if you want.

I'm not sure, but I think I used this texture from this guy http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/textures/?q=seamless%20texture&order=9&offset=0#/d23u9fj

Hope it help you somehow .

Just a few changes I did last night on the Zombie Guy Bust. Now I know it's a lot more difficult to fix something wrong than start something new! :P

andersonm

Highpoly made in 3dsMax + Zbrush, texturing made in Zbrush, lowpoly and maps baking made in Topogun, maps composed in Photoshop and rendered in Marmoset.

A sculpt I made last night listening C.O.C.
