Hi guys.

I though about a place where I could store my wips, speedsculpts and feedback. I feel like creating tiny thread to every tiny project makes a mess on a forum so I decided to keep my projects together

Feel free to critique anything. Everything is questionable. At this point I am never happy about result (does it ever change?) so advises are very welcome!

First comes my boho outfit. It is going to be blouse, shorts and some accessories (problably game-ready. Games really lack hippies:)).

As far I have simulation done in Marvelous. i am not sure how to achieve nice folds on the front where fabrick goes out of shorts.
I played with fabric physical properties - on screens we can see cotton preset and decreased shear and density values.

Hi I'm back with an update. i'm still working on the pants and jewellery.
Any feedback welcome. As always. Cheers!

Quick sculpt of an Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani. I know likeness isn't spot on but still I find her beauty inspiring.

Notte

Hi guys. I'm almost done with a sculpt. Hat and hair are still pretty rough but clothes are ready (or I've just ran out of ideas:) ) .
Any feedback would be extremely helpful and appreciated as I plan to proceed with retopology this week.
please

Notte

I'm back with a retopologized model (yay standing ovation:) ). 
Materials and Uvs are only for previvew. I'm quite happy with color scheme and shirt pattern.
And I have no idea how to approach denim. Sorner or later I would come up with something but it's always good idea to ask for tips my more experienced fellows

Do you have the MD patterns flats?

Notte

Yes. Here you are

Hi, I started another side project.. At first it was just speed sculpt but I loved concept so much that I decided to push it a bit further. 

Anyways it's about time to practice some sci fi stuff. I am struggling with a design I quite don't understand it yet.. So I'm trying to sketch some forms in zbrush to get an idea of how these pieces may work together. Then I'll build clean mesh in 3ds max on top of it. What is your workflow for things like this?

~~ C&C are welcome! ~~

Hi polycount. I'm back after a break
I'm up to closing my previous project but I got too attached and can't decide wich colour suits it best.
I would be glad hearing your thoughts - not only on colour scheme Cheers!

Notte

Yay it's ready In the meantime number of projects I'm currently working on raised by 2 but finished are those that really counts:

software used: Marvelous Designer, Zbrush, Substance Painter, 3ds max, Marmoset Toolbag

Notte

Piece started during Pierre's Benjamin workshop based on Even's Amundsen art

New sculpt roughly based on Penelope Cruz. My main goal was to create an interesting and beautiful face.

Critique is very welcome!

Beautiful work Notte!

Notte

Glad you like it!

Finally had time to finish this one, Librarian!

Really liking these mate, the Penelope Cruz one is great too. I'm assuming the hair is being created with Fibermesh? How do you go about converting them to polystrips / baking them? Nice one!

Notte

@Torch Penelope's hair is done in Zbrush with Fibermesh. But Librarian cards were created by hand. Textures are done in Xgen - I was following Adam's Scutt tutorial, and placed in 3ds Max with splines - that trick I learned from Nimlot.
I know what workflow you have in mind and I am also wondering how they are turning Fibermesh to useable geometry.
Let my know if you find out

Good job, I think If you put more detailed hairs/bears, it will look great. More color lights can help too.

Notte

@JosephIV do you mean like more flyaway strands of hair?

I think that the hair could be more dense. In the middle of the bears look good, but in the origins are too unnatural (close to the ear). you can add more hair meshes in those zones or create more dense hair textures.

Notte

@JosephIV thanks for feedback!

Bill Lumbergh

Love this!!!
 glad you finished it!
Are you on instagram still?

Notte

@Bill Lumbergh Hi Pierre sorry for the late reply notification hadn't popped up. Yes, I do have Instagram but I am quite shy with my works
You can find me as 'abrzezny' i promise to upload more works there! :>

I put my works mainly on Artstation (I credited you there:)) and thanks again for the feedback it was a hard task.

Here is my latest work late stage of wip I guess. It's an actor Neil Maskell known from the Utopia series. I highly recommend watching it!

Notte

I'm back with the revisited project after getting some feedback. I've had a chance to take part in Scott's Eaton face anatomy workshop. I highly recommend it to everyone!
