Complete interior room vray render

So just spent a week learning 3dsmax and vray and I decided to create an interior scene using vray. Here is the final image

New Project

WIP

Pin up style render

I have started a new project to keep myself busy with improving my 3D skills. The project which I have chosen to undergo is to try and create a pin up style 3D render. Below are some references images that I will using as guides to help me create my pin up style render

(Stage one) I have started modelling the head of the character in Maya while using several different reference materials from  Google. At an early stage I did bring the mesh into Zbrush for manipulating and shaping the vertices around the eyes, I could have used Maya soft selection tool to push and pull the verts around but I personally find it much easier using zbrush for that and I will also be planning on using Zbrush for the characters blend shapes. Below is the early stage the head modelling process. While modelling I have been using a sub-d proxy tool in order to check the sub-d of the head

 

(Stage 2) At this stage the head mesh is complete and ready for importing in to Zbrush, while modelling i gave allot of attention to the topology of the mesh. I had to make sure everything was in a unified quad and that the edges had enough space between them. Below is a image of the complete head both wireframe and and standard view.

(Stage 3) Now that the model has been imported into Zbrush, it is time to increase the polygon of the model which would allow me to create some very nice details. It is very important at this stage to also look at various different images of facial expressions as I would be looking at creating the blend shapes within Zbrush. Below is a early start of creating some facials expressions but nothing is final yet

(Stage 4) After finishing up on the facial expressions in Zbrush, I took the mesh back into Maya for the initial lighting set up. Below here is a quick render of a work in progress lighting setup.

(Stage 5)With all the lights set up I did a quick render in mental ray so i could get an idea on how i would like the make up to look like. Below is a quick paint over

Some more modelling and some quick paint over in Photoshop, I still need to decide on how i want my final render to look like.

Latest update, I modeled the dress inside of Maya

Completed final render, programs used were Maya,Zbrush and Photoshop

Borderlands concept model

I have been myself busy with modelling various props and object from different video games. The one concept art I really liked was from the video game called Borderlands, the sci fi look of the tower is what makes it so appealing. I also thought that this would be a good way for me to improve my modelling techniques as the concept art shows various different details on the surface of the tower which would be quite a challenge to model.

Alien head speed bust

My original idea was to create a base head of an alien which would be used as a template for me to model over a futuristic helmet. I decided i would scrap the idea and just focus on a speed sculpt session instead

Here is my second alien head bust WIP, the reference I used for this model was the aliens from the independence day movie

Final update

Alien head bust sculpt WIP plus head gear

New project starting now which involves creating a futuristic alien head gear. Motivation for this piece comes from watching Vitaly Bulgarov  3D Design for production video. Below is a quick sculpt bust which I did in order for me to create a template for the head gear to be on.

Sci fi shot gun complete

The original concept for this model was created by a 2d illustration artist named Robin Chyo. I liked the concept of the gun because of all the interesting shapes the components of the gun was made out of. This high poly model was created all in Maya, and the smaller finer details as you see on the grip handle of the gun was created in Zbrush.

This is my complete rendered model, Keyshot was used for rendering and the composite was done in Photoshop

Alien gas thrower WIP

 Concept was found on Google so I need to find the individual who created the concept and credit him. Model was created in Maya and rendering was done in Zbrush

Concept was not done by me
