Ugly old man

[Juan Carlos Montes]

Here is something I was playing.

The model was done with Voxel Sculpt and manualy create a low mesh with retopo.

The details are done without any skin textures only looking some old man photos well its not perfect but i like the result.

The rendering was done all in Blender

Later i will up load more pictures .

Nice model, and nice choice of renderer. Blender has nice fast SSS that looks great.

Nice job. I like the shader and blender seems to give very good results with renders so that is something I should try too.

You do a great job with wrinkles. I watched a video of your technique with the Pokemon-like animal you made but i'm not able to even attempt to emulate at the moment as my tablet was stolen

Still... I'd love to see a video example of your wrinkle techinque on a face if you have one or can make one.

I like that too!!!!!!!!!! Great job!!!

Juan (or anybody else) can you post here link with the video (about wrinkles)? I want to watch it very much...

[Juan Carlos Montes]

Thanks for the comments i really like the Blender SSS effect.

Here is the link to the video http://vimeo.com/2987987

Here is a another update I a was cheeking the original 3d coat version and the displace in blender doesn't look right , so a fix it.

You have to re-export the mesh as well as the textures if you make a change in 3d coat (and import it into blender... you can keep the old shader). For some reason, making changes seems to also change the scale of the exported mesh (and thus the displacement strength required)... or maybe my problem was that I used the obj i imported into 3d coat... Not sure why, but it seems to work for me (re-exporting both lo-poly mesh and displacement map). I use an exported exr depth map with zero is grey... works fine for me. Also, you have to make sure the obj scale clamping is off when exporting into blender (set to zero to disable)

One way to be sure is to export a medium/high res mesh from 3d coat as a reference, import it into blender, assign wireframe display mode, and change the displacement of your "real" mesh until it matches perfectly.

Very cool model, btw. You are a master at wrinkles. I would love to see a video tutorial of you in action workign on that model (or another one with wrinkles).

Thanks psyborgue I did exactly what you say, for this one i only export the depth map in zero is grey, and it works perfect. thanks for the tips

More of the ugly old man, I did the clothes in blender.

the image its kind of desaturated i mess to much with blender nodes.

i'm seeing an old photo style thing

couple suggestions:

- different lighting (portrait style)

- cloathing texture

- slightly different pose

- a monacle on the eye (single lens type thing)

- black and white with gradient mapping (try white to off-white to yellow to orange/brown to dark green to black) with heavy vignetting and lots of scratches and marks.

[Juan Carlos Montes]

Thanks psyborgue

Yes it going to be a old photo style, still more to do.

Thanks for the suggestions i will ad the monocle on the eye to.

Here is the same guy with different ilumination.

much, much, better.

Wow! Very impressive work!

Nice cloth style. The tie could be wonderful with a silk look.

It's a great character. It immediately made me think of Scrooge. Frightening how he stares at the camera.
