Rocks - Sculpting and texturing practice (images heavy)

Jonsnow

Hello,

i would like to share the result from my sculpting and texturing practice.
Rock sculpts - ZBrush, baking xNormals, textures combination of AO map, hand painted in Photoshop, photo resources for scratches on the edges, 3DS Max and Xoliul2 Dx Shader.

enjoy

C&C welcome.

If I were you I'd embed the images in to your post, you're more likely to get crits if it's easier for people to see the work. Just put instead of the direct link.

must... hold.. the jizz... in...

EDIT:

ok... got carried away here a bit. maybe not strictly a fap material, but seriously man, those are some properly done sexy zbrush stones. nice work.

These rock Some quality rocks here, no crits.

Illusive

the highlights on the edges looks great, how did you texture those? projected photos?

lloyd

how are you going from the hp zbrush mesh to the lp?

synergy11

How did you make your diffuse seamless? Did you go back to zbrush to polypaint?

Nice sculpts.

Did you start this thing from scratch in zbrush or bring in a basemesh?

The small "shelfing" details are amazing.

i want those rocks! i need those rocks! awesomely detailed!
The only thing that would make them even awesomer would be to end all of them so that they could be used not just sticking from the gound, but rotated as well.
I wish i knew how to sculpt rocks like that..

Lovely stuff Roman!

c22dunbar - Thanks

jordan.kocon - thank you, but i see one million things to fix ;]

Illusive - thank you, i painted the color variations in Photoshop, photos have been used only for scratches and small structures as gray scale overlays

lloyd - i exported semi highpoly mesh from ZB to Max and optimize the mesh to low poly

synergy11 - thank you, i started these sculpts from very simple base mesh, used Flatten, Dam standard and TrimDynamic and TrimDynamicB with square alpha

okimoki - thank you, these rock modules are only practice, Rocks v2 will be full 360 models, that's my plan ;]

PogoP - Thank you Liam!, You inspired me to post something on Polycount

hey man! nice Looking rocks you got there. Those sculpts...jiz!! What are you going to use these for? My only crit is that textures are a bit too noisy. The hues are all over the place. Yet not sure how big these things are or how you plan to use them. Either way, keep up the good work!

Jonsnow

raul - Thanks man. I do not plan to use them ;].

And another pieces from texturing practice. Nothing extraordinary :].

HughieDM

Yeah some great work here would love to see some of your process

Rocks are one of those things that I've yet go get right, they are very hard to do.
And I think you nailed this one, good job.

Macattackk

nice job, to paint the textures are you using brushes with certain rock details masked out from photos?
