It started as an expression study , then I had the idea to do something related with a circus/clown and, after a few beers, I had the idea for this composition

Base mesh in 3ds max, sculpting and painting in Zbrush, texture detailing and adjustments in Photoshop, posing in Zbrush with transpose master, rendering with mental ray and some final adjustments in Photoshop.

This work's main intention was to study body movement and expression.

The idea of the composition is that she's in a sort of essay, dancing alone, trying to improve herself, praticing.

Used Zbrush for all the modelling/sculpting/texturing, except for the base meshes and scenario, which were done in 3ds max and a few texturing work in Photoshop as well.

Rendered in 3ds max/Mental Ray, I had to do a few render passes, so I could add DOF as a post effect in Photoshop and not using MR, which takes forever!

A few color and level adustments and a little of motion blur in Photoshop.

Thanks!]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:33:14 +0000 http://ricardocr.cgsociety.org/gallery/647162

The idea:

Trying to achieve a certain mood and strangeness, this work started as part of a project for a real sculpture, but at certain point, the work took a different path and I started exploring simple ideas and associations when sculpting him. The relation between the man and the mask happened at some point and then I constructed the whole scene based on this initial association.

The process:

The organic sculpting, painting and posing were done in Zbrush 3.1. Shading, lightning ,composition and non-organic modelling done in 3ds max 2009, rendered with Mental Ray. Background and main model (male, tubes and valves) rendered separately and composed in Photoshop with an alpha mask with DOF info. A few levels and contrast adjusts in Photoshop then.

Thanks,

I developed this character as part of game proposal of my company. This guy is intended to be an old and experienced hunter.

I´ve used 3ds max for the base mesh, Zbrush for sculpting and painting and Mental Ray with SSS Fast skin and area lights for rendering. Hair rendered in a different pass, to be post composed. Plus some post editing in Photoshop, mostly level and curve´s adjustment.

Part of my graduation project and - I like to pratice in "real" clay from time to time . Sculpted in oil clay, molded with plaster/sillicone and casting in resin. Still need to fix some minor problems at the seams, make a support and paint it (maybe some patina).
