Z-Brush Turtle Sculpt (Wip)
polycounter lvl 6
Hey guys,
this is my first post here. I´m reading the forum for quite a while and thougt it`s time to post something by myself now.
I`m currently working on a Turtle model I Started this week. At first I only wanted to create a still Image out of it. But now I thought I will integrate it in a little animation with motion tracking. Never done that before so still a lot to learn ;-)
I know the Mesh isn`t really cleaned up and I`ve used a huge amount of Polys ( Around 63k). But I thougt it will be fine in the end because I`m not going to integrate her in a game engine. Or am I wrong about that? I`m also not happy with the claws, will fix them later on.
The next step would be bringing her into Maya and start with riging/posing her. Later on I will make an enviroment for some still Images and then starting with the other parts of the short film.
The Pictures are some simple Z-Brush renders along with the wireframe version in Maya. I thougt i will render her in mental ray later on. I also have V-ray available, but I`ve never really used it so far... Not sure if I should start lerning it for this project.

And Laze, your right
I turned down the specularity and used a cavity map to control it. And I decided to learn V-Ray. It took a while to figure out but I like the result.I think it`s more realistic compared to mentalray. But it`s really not as realistic as I want it to be ;-) . Don`t know wheater to focus on the lighting or to rethink my diffuse textures... I´m also excited to announce that a friend of mine will start with the little baby turtle next week. Until then I have to figute out how to create a breaking egg for the little turtle. I´m using rayfire but in the tests I`ve done so far my egg explodes everytime I start the simulation. I`tried to increase the collision tolerance but that didn`t really work. Mir Vadim said it has something to do with the convex fragmentation type... Anyone here knows something about this problem?
