An exercise in trim texturing I did some time ago. Screengrab from Unity:

Color Study (one hour)

CharacterCarl · Jan 2016

I threw around 8 million polygons of hair from Maya straight into Marmoset. It actually works.

Some sculpts I did between 1,5 and 3 hours.

Continued working on a bust from a while back. Skin is mostly polypaint. Also used some photo information in there. I'm working on the clothes for now. Might start a new thread for her.

DanielJohnsson · Mar 2016

Awesome sketchbook! keep it up!.

lophead25 · Mar 2016

Nice work, you gotta watch out for those pupils though, a lot of them are quite oversized

CharacterCarl · Mar 2016

@DanielJohnsson : Thanks man!
@Lophead25 : Thank you. Well spotted. I'll be on the lookout for those large pupils from now on. Should be better now:

Need to tweak the lighting and shading. Was told she looks a bit waxy now. The bridge of the nose also seems a bit harsh currently.

CharacterCarl · Apr 2016

Improved the nose and added some (real) eyebrows which will be used as a base for texturing.

I fixed her hair and took the polypainted skin into Substance Painter to work on it some more and generate clean maps.
Also dialed back on the SSS via a subdermis map inside Marmoset. Looks less waxy now.
The transition between the eyeball and the iris looks weird. I'll also look into improving the shirt texture and giving the necklace a better shadow.
Hair will stay FiberMesh for now. Gotta call it done soon.

Finished this, but too lazy to put this in a thread. Maybe on the weekend:

Playing around with iRay and terrible hipster filters (there was actually no noise in the render):

Finished following along with that awesome forest ground texturing tutorial by Jacob Norris: https://gumroad.com/purepolygons

Anatomy exercise. The lower back on the dude looks wrong:

Eric Chadwick · Jun 2016

These are really beautiful, they look like a lot of fun!

CharacterCarl · Jun 2016

Thanks Eric!
I'm using less symmetry and smoothing on these and going for a more traditional workflow. That is, using mostly clay brushes. It's quite refreshing actually and helps with keeping an eye on the flow of the muscles.

CharacterCarl · Jun 2016

Arm studies. Triceps is giving me a hard time in this pose. Rendering in MODO:

SJB · Jun 2016

Love the sense of weight in your models. As an illustrator who took a lot of gesture drawing classes it's hard not to notice that flaw in most 3d art.

CharacterCarl · Jun 2016

Thank you SJB! Someone else actually remarked that on one of my finished characters some time ago. Makes me happy when it shows through. :pleased: I also try to take figure drawing classes whenever I can and do 2D studies which has helped a lot I think.
