Im pleased to present the ERUDIT IN THE FIELD OF EXCELLENCE .After a long , happy and joyful childhood , the erudit expended his youth in the most expensive and prestigeous universities with outstanding marks before starting a stunning and successful career that made of him one of the most excellent gentlemen in the field of erudition.
The character was first concept in zbrush, retopologized , and textured in photoshop from some interesting baking matcaps materials from zbrush with the help of the function "crop and field".IT is lot of fun but you first make sure youve got enough hard disk space XD. Zbrush matcaps are too nice .
Hair was combed with HAIRFARM .Otherwise you mayprefer to struggle with our beloved "hair&fur" from max.
Hands were modeled separately from max to zbrush following a parallel proccess as erudit head .otherwise I would have ended up with a diferent result .
Posproduction was made in nuke and photoshop .Nuke was very helpful to create the "boke" lensblur effect and volume ligth of background .Dust particle were added from old max render files made very quikly with pflow .You may do that with many diferent particle based aplications with the same result .

ZBRUSH CHARACTER BASE
Clip underneath shows hand rigging test for the character . The tree sequences belong to the workflow modeling (3dmax), detailing (zbrush) , shading (max, zbrush, photoshop).
Here we come again .After some fanny endless nights I came up with a facial rigg intending to give life to my lovely smart and well manner electro apache .I went ahead with a new animated shading technic to highlight wrinkles in forehead , eyes and space between the eyebrows to frown properly . . To that end , several normal and displacement maps are displayed locally in relation with face controllers position .wasnt easy .It s never so.
VRAY STEREOSCOPIC HELPER
Stereoscopic render WIPs were taken from Vray stereocopic helper ( still freaking out ! you definitely got to try this at home !) from where I was able to render out straight to anaglypho mode .Vray RT lets you preview in 3d aswell in real time( awesome ).From Vray to Nuke were I was able to join them along to this result . The idea is to watch squence in a row to get them alive .I hope you enjoy that as much as i did (but not to struggle as i did ).
Lot to work out yet .Next target : GIMME A CHEST TO BREATH , MASTER
love you
TURBO APACHE DIFFUSE MAP
The tip for this post is this map sample from turboapache
That was a crazy diffuse map experiment to add to SSS vray material . I mixed 3d max rendermaps with some zbrush backed matcaps ("crop and fill")in photoshop. And I think I will use this technic within a tocuh distance future.
Es la conmovedora historia de un amor incondicional entre un árbol del campo y una niña, quien crece y se muda a la gran ciudad.‘¿Y TÚ QUÉ HAS HECHO?’ es una pregunta, un lamento y un reproche, cuyo sentido Lo hallaremos en el fondo de nuestros corazones.
A moving story about unconditional love story between a tree in the countryside and a girl, who grows up and moves to the big city .‘and what have you done?’ is a question, a lament and a reproach, whose meaning Lies in the dephs of our hearts.
