Ray's WIPs (NUDITY)

ty! I was expecting redshift to take like 15-20 minutes, didn't think it would be that fast. I hope they'll keep supporting XSI.

Finally finished the Baby model for selling on turbo squid :

"artefact 0001" - 3d coat render "old copper" PBR material

[rray]

This is the obj file with "old copper" PBR exported from 3D coat using the Arnold exporter preset. Works quite well out of the box some more tweaks will be needed to get a similar look than above

Had to makr the retopoly in ZBrush , 3D coat auto-topo didn't work well with that object, and for manual retopo it's too complex.

Finished the globe, selling it here. A new model, Beethoven

[Hirazi Blue]

Impressive (as always)...
What software did you use and how long did it take you to complete this?

[rray]

Thanks pal! Was around 3 weeks, using 3D-coat for modeling the hair and eyebrows, also shading/baking
Marvelous Designer 3 for the scarf
Softimage for modeling the face and the collider object&morph shape for MD,
Softimage for unwrapping (only software I know that can unwrap a 4 million polygon model)
Softimage for rendering (Arnold)

[Hirazi Blue]

So the face was modeled with good old fashioned "vertex-pushing"? I find that even more impressive. ;)

[owei]

Great work!! Looks amazing..as usual! ;)

[Draise]

Vertex pushing!??!!!!

[rray]

some pulling too
actually poly by poly modeling .. sculpt and retopo at the same time
thanks guys!

Next in line is Ajax, a warrior that went mad

3d coat render,
original was 100% Softimage pixel pushing (based on an old tutorial)

[rray]

made a retopo on Beethoven

[FXDude]

Huh! Really Looks Hirez!

And nice surfacing job! (and everything )

[anhungxadieu]

nice model and material! ;;)

[xsi_fanatic]

Nice work

How did you do the retopo ? 3D Coat has an auto retopo tool called Autopo. Did you use that for this model ? I'm curious if you would recommend it.

[rray]

T.Y. all! It's zRemesher + manual tweaks in Softimage. The base part is the original poly model.
I haven't really figured out yet how Autopo works. Sometimes I get great results, better than zremesher, but sometimes it produces trash or runs forever. It probably needs a smooth model to work with. At zRemesher you can throw anything, but what comes out is too smooth so I usually snap back the points to the original mesh using ICE.
