Six Heads, picked one…
Posted by alexalvarez | Filed under Development
So after sketching the six heads, last weekend I decided to pick one and model it. I made an organized base mesh, sculpted it in Zbrush, then went back to Maya with displacements/normals and rendered my look-dev passes, (diffuse, SSS, primary spec, secondary spec, skin reflection, eye reflection, three different cavity maps and the blurred HDR background) which are here comped in Photoshop. I haven’t begun any texture looks yet, so this is just the comp ready to go. All of the passes are at 100% but it looks kinda cool… although in the end I imagine it will be quite different. Now I just need to find the time to keep working on it! Click here for a higher res version.

It allows me to be more free with my designs rather than holding one so precious and tight that I couldnt risk a mistake, which can often be that thing the design needs.
A beautiful mistake!! -

December 18th, 2011 at 10:36 amAw, this was a very nice post. In concept I wish to put in writing like this moreover – taking time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and under no circumstances seem to get one thing done.
