This character was started probably around year and a half ago without much thought behind it. I had some old upper body very basic mesh and decided to sculpt some fat as I don't think I did that before. Anyway I gradually added stuff from time to time before deciding what the character is supposed to be at the end. That model never was supposed to be render material. Hence alot of things that are sculpted from basicly a box with few extrusions. Some stretching is caused by that. It was just a random model that accidentally ended up being rendered.

Test renders were reasonable with -1 to 1 AA sample levels, contrast threshold at 0,075 and FG off. Around 15 minutes. Then when it come to final rendering I changed AA to 1 to 2 sample levels and lowered threshold to 0,02 in order to get rid of artifacts on fabric patterns. I turned on FG with 500 rays and single bounce and.... 10 hours render on a 3ghz quad core. Fun eh.

As usual, base mesh in Silo, sculpt in Zbrush 3.5 (maybe 3.1) althought grey models are rendered in 4.0 with BPR, textures in Photoshop and rendered in XSI 7.01 with MR.

Hope those images won't stretch forum too much.

Now, that's an impressive first post!
Welcome to our little community (and "keep 'em coming") ;)

Could you perhaps also share a picture of your basemesh?

Nice work - would you mind sending your render layer breakdown, and what package did you do final comp in? Love the grade and overall nice lighting . . . Superb, and definately 5 stars frim me. Keep it up.
