The Moffster
polycounter lvl 20
Grand Moff Tarkin. You may have seen him on cgtalk lately, but I fairly recently redid the render with subtle SSS on the skin. Im calling this done:

very nit picky i know ...
really great work tho ..
Bizarrely, your character looks more realistic that the real thing. Superb work Daz.
Although it does look like the outfit is a bit too bright, it looks a bit more muted in the jackablade's picture
Mind you, his jacket is definitely too saturated, maybe a little dark too, and I think the split up the front of his collar should maybe be slightly more pronounced and irregular.
Is face is so lifelike it's scary.
There's something not natural about his jacket. Maybe it's just because there is so much plain green in the image next to this uber detailled face.
You should send this in for the next Expose contest!
This Daz, is a glimpse of what should be.

I think just a bit more noise, to both the color map and bump map would be the only way to improve this one
Clothing is such a chore to me. If I could make just heads for the rest of my 3D life Id be happy!
Thanks Poop youre probably right.
now just move that eyebrow vert '1mm' up and bobs your aunties live in lover.
your hard work has paid off, this piece looks like it was a huge educational experience.
i really like the tired meat sacks under his eyes. the hair is amazing. if you just sit back and look at it non-critically, it is simply amazing. i love his careful expression. the glamor blur is an interesting contrast in subject. makes me think of dorothy from the wizard of oz movie. it makes it look much more real.
critically, i think the brow could use more accurate skin folds
brow frown lines
and i hate starwars! why won't it just go away!? =p .. but i love what you have created here, nicely done.
This Daz, is a glimpse of what should be. An all new CGI starwars.

The only thing which catches my eye is the reflection in the left eye (right for us people looking at him); the bright reflection in the upper part looks like it should curve just a little with the shape of the eye...but then again, I don't know what's being reflected
Looking at the final result has actually blown me back and totally changed my thoughts on that.
I have to agree the reflection on the left eye appears somewhat out of place and the obvious flaws in the cloth but else it's bloody fantastic!
I like the style has a very painterly quality to it too. Only crit is maybe make the forehead veins alittle less prominent.
maybe give him some eyelashes
Looks very good. The combination of the expression and his stare give off a very dark, evil and mysterious feel to the portrait.
I'd go for it.
Now I didn't catch any WIPs at the time, but did you make this a complete model or did you 'just' model what was going to be seen in the render?
His body doesnt extend much further beyond this image Im afraid. Hes really just a bust. Im really trying to concentrate on just subD heads these days in what little spare time I get outside of work. Although having said that, that bastard Ruz planted a seed in my mind to give the high res German soldier I was building a complete body, so Im well into that right now. Will post soon.
Complete hi-rez German Soldier sounds bloody orgasmik
God ur a busy man.
Can't wait to see them both.
