    RenderSkin-1.jpg




    A VFX supervisor at CIS Vancouver told me that it "freaks him out" when models he sees on reels are missing their genitalia, and that seeing a model with an equally detailed penis would be a refreshing and uncommon detail.

    The skin around the crotch and knee areas seems a bit too wrinkled to me, like the skin of someone elderly. This monster seems to me to be young and strong, and tight skin would reflect that. The skin around the crotch and hips is especially tight, and skin there does not bunch up like that

    I like his crazy bellybutton! And that awesome exaggerated tendon in the hand

    Edit: I guess skin might have a few rolls in that crotch area if he were to be posed leaning far far forward, I didn't think of that

    Sweet work crazyfool and StevenEgan!

    Looks very nice Rens, but I´m not a fan of the boots.
    They seem a bit sloppy compared to the rest of the model.

    First ever non hard surface model, self portrait. Quite pleased with it but can use a lot of work. Will be going into zbrush to 'zombiefy' it soon..

    Thanks for the great feedback. The only reason that I have given him folds like that, is I'm trying to give him the look of having a thick hide, being a Minotaur and whatever... But I will have a play with them.

    Yeah, I guess you're right about the genitalia, but he is going to be wearing a loin cloth at least, so I doubt it would ever be seen, but it would make for a more accurate model.

    Thanks for the feedback... I'll give a few things a go.

    It looks kinda creepy. Like skin with no bones in it, which always creeps me out! Also helped by the fact that it's bending the wrong way, in opposition to a hug. The hands are in a very defensive position.

    I don't understand. I don't mean to sound rude at all but I've gotten a few people telling me its creepy or unsettling and I *think* I can see it, though that might be myself projecting feedback onto it?

    The part I really don't get though, is that something aesthetically creepy would be a good wedding ring? (it is a design for a ring btw)
    Is it just the idea of someone sculpting digitally a ring, which is the creepy part? or, does it look weird onscreen and your mental image of it actually cast in metal doesn't look as creepy for some reason? It's very puzzling.

    If people assumed it was just a model for fun, then i guess yeah, it's kind of weird for me to model that. I should clarify it's to be cast as a physical metallic object. Does that change anything?

    Right now, it looks like a boneless and flabby arm thats wrapped around and twisting the other hard backwards. So yeah, a little disturbing. If it were silver, then I wouldn't assume that. Btw, you asked if it was creepy.

    yeah absolutely, i know i asked, and like i said i'm probably coming off rude or like im trying to brush comments off. It's more that i just wanna understand exactly what people think is weird about it, so i can maybe save it. So, mostly because you're assuming it's meant to be an actual flesh and bone hand rather than a metal cast?

    It´s not the idea or the subject that makes it creepy.
    I think what makes it a little unsettling is the fact that it looks so real.
    The way the ring part flows into the arms with the skin creasing slightly at the wrist, the hinted muscles and tendons under the skin.
    Like Woody294 mentioned it makes the "ring" part look like arms without bones.

    I think if you stylized it a bit more or made the ring part look more like a regular ring with a beveled edge it would be less weird.
    The hands and the flowers themselves are beautiful.


    @Abe_hokage and {scumworks}

    OHHHHHHHHHH that makes a *lot* more sense. I want to make inscriptions and probably a small rim on the inside, i wonder if this would help? And yeah a bevel is a good idea to kind of denaturalise it.
    I thought you guys meant the actual hands themselves dont look bony enough.

    Anytime! ;D
    Ah, I guess if he is wearing clothes it doesn't really matter then, lol.
    Hmm, to convey thick skin, you could keep his bulk but make his muscles less defined. The thicker/more fleshy the skin, the less you see the small details of the muscle, just the overall shape and form. And maybe make his neck flap meld more softly into his chest (look at images of cows, their flappy necks kind of cover their entire chests, it is very fleshy)

    His hand looks like it should be wrapped around a man's throat. That would be a sweet pose. ;)

    I just found the coolest thing on google! Search for images of a Belgian Blue Bull, THAT is some sick reference.

    lol! I think it looks alright. She is wearing spandex, and thin women do have a "nub" there from that one bone. They're usually protrayed as super flat and rounded but that isn't usually the case.

    If she were wearing jeans and that nub was present, that might be a tad disturbing :)

    it's def more formed to the body than what normal spandex looks like, but it's a design choice kind of like Miranda in ME2 because her suit wouldn't fit any woman's body like that

    38478pcn_amberrose61-e1268314475748.jpg

    This is more of what spandex really looks like on a model type body. The forms end up be a bit more subtle and spandex stretches over dips of the body.

    Kind of like a tight tank-top on a woman won't get sucked into the cleavage no matter how tight.

    Ahh yes, the pants on that model would be much more realistic if the fabric actually showed fabric qualities, instead of those of vacuum-sealed plastic :)
    Her butt-crack would also not be as pronounced.
    I was defending the "nub", forgot to consider the non-fabricness as well
