Thanks Monkey. Yeah the lower jaw isn't done yet. I just been focusing on getting the head to look right, and then replicating that for all of the other textures. I'm going to make the corrections you suggested and continue to update.
you got any context to that gif? looks like some kind of custom tool from Duber. probably not something that can be replicated easily. you might try 2 IK chains and swtich the arm in between them.
Ok so now that that's out of the way... How WOULD you get a render like this done in, say, Keyshot? I'm really needing to replicate this translucency effect through a solid object. Or should I make a new thread?
Cool start, the thing I noticed when I tried to replicate the iron horde feel is there's lots of size variation in the spikes. They use a lot of gradients as well in their base colors I think. I'll follow this one :D
Good points in this thread, back in my clay sculpting days my instructor told us to pick a favorite sculpt and replicate it in 24 hours. Did it teach us creativity? Hell no, but it sure made us good with the tools :)
The beginning is boring, maybe add some camera movement of looking at the target, sort of like a focus cam in videogames (as thats what this animation feels like, a replication of a videogame). Otherwise it is looking pretty good, excited to see it progress.
I second that Even a step by step method for Maya would be great. I think the same was achieved in the original thread for just about every other 3d app. I spent a couple days trying to replicate it, but to no avail
Nobody else has thought to say it, so I will. Why don't you look out of your windows? There's a huge environment out there to replicate. Am I serious or am I being facetious? Who knows? :poly111:
The image you showed looked like the hair has volume rather than being strips, so you could replicate that with a custom brush in zbrush. linky : [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_BFWjqNV-s[/ame]
if op is legit it can ignore me and this post, i feel like there is some automation going on between posting and 3D, so someone trying to replicate what we do with a.i. it is a stretch i suppose but this is how i feel it would look like if someone did do that. Carry on op.
