Hello Guys, I just wanted to share my last piece that I did in maya and keyshot, I intend to post more wips here in the next couple weeks since the process is very straight forward and it takes 2-4 days to finish something like that with some techniques that I learned with some very talented people from most of the gnomon workshops taht I've been =D
The model looks solid, but honestly it's really hard to tell because the model blends in with the background so much. The camouflage pattern is very similar to the snowy trees, so I'm having trouble figuring out where to look. IMO it'd be awesome to see a new render with a less busy background!
Your camo is so good we can't see the model. The military would be proud, but the art community wouldn't
(Reminds me of reading the half-life 2 concept art book where they talk about the half-life 1 hgrunt's camo pattern, and how they had to figure out to make it so it looks like functional camo without actually being functional at all and actually increasing the ability for the player to see them, aka video game camo is usually made to be useless without looking useless XD)
I wasn't very happy with the HDRI's that I found with snow and all of that so I decided to just render a AO passe to show the details =] thanks for the help guys!

You did all of this work to get this dope-ass model textured and everything. You tried to comp it once and it is good but doesn't showcase your model as good as it could be. If you spend 1 entire week working on the comping, you will be able to show the result to people and they'll be like "HOLY SHIT, THAT'S AWESOME".

The AO feels like a cop-out.
haha that is true I didn't spend time enought comping the scene, I will ask at work for some hdri's from snow environments and spend a couple days just trying and getting a better comp than I will post here than =]
do you know where I could get some nices tips for comp stuff? I will post ehre right when I start a new comp than

Something like this? It's angled the wrong direction since in your image there is a slight hill away from he viewer but anyways.
Edit, or maybe this since it's still dense forest, but the trees are mostly covered in snow instead of bare.

That said, I find the model pretty cool
Cheers!

You gotta re-comp that scene with a new image!
Here's kinda how I view it.
