Zbrush Groot Model

Hey guys,

First submission on Polycount. Here's my model fan art of Groot I made in Zbrush and second picture rendered in Marmoset awhile back. What do you think? I am self taught and am interested in how I compare professionals.

Looks solid! Do you have any wireframes and maps we can take a look at as well?

WesleyArthur

Very nice! I like the model and the texturing.

My only slight issue is the top image with the fireflies. I think your really nice model is slightly cheapened by them. It's quite distracting and doesn't look as believable as your character.

It might be better to have him with a simple prop, or a much more concentrated cluster of them. That also gives you an excuse to get a nice warm light on his face, but perhaps a little less saturated then it currently is?

Really great work though! I love the character and he's posed well.

Brian "Panda" Choi

Wesley, I thought the fireflies was in the movie?

WesleyArthur

JadeEyePanda ah I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with it. I just felt that how they are implemented is a bit distracting. I think a smaller cluster of fireflies that are slightly less dazzling might fit better.

However, I've not seen the movie so if that's an integral part then ignore me, haha!

Brian "Panda" Choi

Yeah. there's a brief scene with the fireflies. I'm assuming Forrest is referencing that.

WesleyArthur

Ah I see, that clears that up then!
