What a mix

Reall y nice combinig of the materials. Lots of tweaking in choosing of the right "consistency". I Espeacially like the reflection of the mouth. The orange skin could be a little better. What did you render it with? I myself use vray.

ThinXIII responds:

just the default render in ZBrush. Thanks. :D

[Matrix Extrusion1]

Nice Shading

I like the ambience in the image. I just can imaginge a space ship floating slowly through the "air".

onionahoy responds:

Thanks, that sounds like a cool idea actually I might just experiment with that.

[insanely detailed pub]

Keep on

Wow, this is quite neat. You put a lot of effort in the modelling. I just don't like the way it's rendered, especially because of the glass material you can see its not real (because of the normally very complex reflections in real life). My suggestion is you try out some other render engines with global illumination, it takes some time to learn, but its worth it.

[Gear series1]

Pretty realistic

Nice dirt map you use. It gives the model a realistic touch. What render engine did you use? I myself use vray. What did you made this gear for? Are you modelling a machine?

onionahoy responds:

Thanks it took ages to get it to look right. I used to use blender but after using Cinema 4d for my unity engine experiments I haven't looked back. I'll have to check out vray. A made the gear as good practice using lots of different modelling tools. Well now that you've given me the idea that sounds damn cool to me... hmmm maybe I can make some sort of Rube-Goldberg machine?

Sorry

Sorry to bother you with this crap, but can you tell me a reason why my artwork hasn't been scouted yet? Is it too realistic, don't they believe its 3D?

[Captain & Steve Figure]

Sweet

Hey Osuka,
really nice and clean modeling, youre doing it right! What did you render it with? Can't be mental ray, or is it? I love it, good shading changes soooo much.

[Sycamore Drive-6/6]

Nice balanced colors

This is always a big challenge for me, to get the colors right. In your work you manage this great.

Rutger responds:

Thanks man :3
I need to work a bit more on the drawings themself probably though.

[Action Cat!]

Sweet

So funny, i love this. I would like to play a game with this cat in it. Yeah the japanese have crazy ideas, haven't they? Just the fur texture could be a litle more detailed, the rest is perfect.

Savory responds:

It wasn't the japanese tho, twas some guys from SNL. I could probably get some more hair definition down to the pixel. It's a 512x512 map though... so I'm only going to get so far :P

[Sacha 2]

Nice modelling

Hi there.
You are good in modelling. The faces are quite detailled an realistic. I would suggest you to try out some other render engines. I know, it takes a lot of time to learn to use them, but its worth it. I use vray for example.

J-D-S responds:

I've been using mental ray for my final renders. Most of the renders i have here are just quick wip ones to see the forms.
