Samuel Stone - Marmoset Toolbag

henriquedw

Hello there.

This is my first real try will Marmoset Toolbag 2. I made this character some time ago and I went back on him to use it as case study. I also did a lot of polish on him since original version and I learned a lot with this piece. it was pretty fun to rework it.

Hope you like it. C&C are welcome.

Hey, looks great.

What did you use for texturing?

henriquedw

THanks. Just Photoshop.

Amazing piece man, although on the presentation side it's a bit too dark... I'd bump up that lighting on him... nothing else besides that on my end though nice!

Looks really good. The only thing is that he look really sweaty, and his neck is even more wet than his face, but his shirt is still dry and fresh. I think a little effect on the shirt around the neck would make it just perfect.

Also, how did you make his facial hair? Are this hair planes?

fuckkkk

AngryMindtricks: Yeah, that's what some people have said, but it doesn't look too dark on my monitor. but I will that in mind for next pieces. Thanks

PitelinM: I thought I painted a dark area on the shirt collar. Maybe it should be a little darker. The hair is all alpha planes. Thanks

nice work, looks solid. I also dig some of the little props in the background and it would have been cool to see something like that a little higher up in the composition and a little lighter to help separate him just a little from the background

nice work on the leather jacket too, i think you nailed the level of glossiness on it

Hi. Wow! Amazing piece! :O Wish I could do that

I agree with the other guys - the figure is definitely too dark. I've just checked it on 2 different monitors. And the part of the t-shirt that is supposed to be wet should be much darker, too, to show that it is soaked with sweat.

ZippZopp: Hey, Thanks for your comment. I get what you are saying. Btw, great gumroad eye tutorial.

Litho: probably next time I will be checking my work on multiple monitors. Thanks for your feedback.

LRoy

Great work. Really well done.

Stirls

This is great. Could I see some wireframes?

ysalex

Fantastic man! I agree with the lighting being too dark, but that skin and clothing is awesome.

Noren

Looking good! The portraits work for me, the body shots could be a bit brighter.

henriquedw

Thanks everybody for the latest comments and critiques. Here is a wireframe shot.

Imasho

Exceptional work!

thanks for the wireframe I wondered if you might share your work flow for creating the facial hair and the shader set up in marmoset for it? the skin and eye textures are very well observed also.

I love this. The sweat really adds a ton of realism to it.
Would love to see a breakdown of textures and shaders within Marmoset if you get around to it :P

Edit: I'd maybe add a bit of wetness to where the hat meets the head. He's so sweaty you just expect it to be there.

Greg DAlessandro

how did you do the sweat down the side of his face?

Did you hand place every one of those planes on his chin/eyebrows or is there some sort of script to "paint" them on?

incredible!

Imasho: Thanks. The alpha cards for all facial hair (beard, eyelashes and eyebrows) were placed by hand. I did split the beard into 3 parts though. left and right which they were instance of each other and an asymmetrical center strip. The shader for the hair is nothing special, in fact I would like to improve it, but I did use anisotropic effect on it. I recommend take a look at this video for the skin shader http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/character-setup. I was helpful for me.

Ravenok: Thanks. you can see a breakdown of the textures on the head here.

Yourname942: you can see a breakdown of the textures on the head here. The hair I place it all by hand. Thanks

polygoo: Thanks
