Zbrush Groot Model

Vulcan4770 · Nov 2014

Hey guys,

First submission on Polycount. Here's my model fan art of Groot I made in Zbrush and second picture rendered in Marmoset awhile back. What do you think? I am self taught and am interested in how I compare professionals.

Looks solid! Do you have any wireframes and maps we can take a look at as well?

Very nice! I like the model and the texturing.

My only slight issue is the top image with the fireflies. I think your really nice model is slightly cheapened by them. It's quite distracting and doesn't look as believable as your character.

It might be better to have him with a simple prop, or a much more concentrated cluster of them. That also gives you an excuse to get a nice warm light on his face, but perhaps a little less saturated then it currently is?

Really great work though! I love the character and he's posed well.

Wesley, I thought the fireflies was in the movie?

WesleyArthur · Nov 2014

JadeEyePanda ah I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with it. I just felt that how they are implemented is a bit distracting. I think a smaller cluster of fireflies that are slightly less dazzling might fit better.

However, I've not seen the movie so if that's an integral part then ignore me, haha!

Yeah. there's a brief scene with the fireflies. I'm assuming Forrest is referencing that.

WesleyArthur · Nov 2014

Ah I see, that clears that up then!
