Zbrush 4R7 beta test!

Hello!

I had the honor to beta test zbrush 4R7.
It was a great experience, and the Pixologic staff is amazing,
always listening and concern about the vision of the artist.

Here some of the work I did during the beta test.

Crashed Scene - Updates

Hello there,

Here some updates.

This is the ship that I will put on the background.
It's based on the UNSC Spirit of Fire ship from Halo :

The green is the grass, the Blue is some dirt tint (brownish), the black is a kind of smooth rock and the red its a broken rock. I didn't use a unique Rock texture but prefer Tileable and Vertex paint, then with 4 differents rock mesh I could duplicate them and they look different.

And the new version of the cryo chamber.
Screenshot from UDK.

Here the Character I will put in the Cryostasis.
This is the Highpoly from Zbrush. I wanted to buy a scan, then I prefer to use
an old character I did, and adapt it. I still have to do the tubes and mask :)

 

Cheers,

Lucas

"Crashed" Scene - Cryo escape chamber.

Hello There!
Here the cryo escape chamber, that I put quickly in Marmoset toolbag for a quick render.
For the textures I used Photoshop and the bakes that I get from the Highpoly I did in zbrush.
I use Bodypaint to delete all the seams and did some scratches where the seams was, pretty useful tool.

Cheers,
Lucas

"Crashed" Scene - Ideas, concepts, moodboard and a start of modeling

Hello,
Here some references research and some concepts done for my new scene.
I start modeling the cryo stasis chamber in zbrush.

My goal will be to create an open environment with interesting weather effect and ambiance, something different that my previous scene who was blue sky.
I want to create a 3d model for the mountain for this time. Something I wanted too, was to mix natural and high tech objects.

The story that I want to communicate is simple. An alien spaceship crash in a land who's like scotland. And aliens escape via a cryo escape chamber. We can see the spaceship in fire and more cryo escape chamber falling down from the sky.

More news soon :)

Any questions let me know.
Cheers

Buddha's tree! FINAL

Hello!
Happy to show you my last project!
A tree in the middle of a lake in Thailand. A place where monks could meditate, alone. It's a spiritual place who was forgotten and not yet discovered. I make this scene to improve my skills creating an organic environment. I took the opportunity to practice making tileable textures starting with sculpting them in zbrush.

Here all the pictures :

Sci-Fi Hallway Project - Improvement

Hey there!
With the advise of a good friend, Elaine McSherry, I slightly change the base concept, doing a paint over.
I wanted to add a story to my environment. Not just building a basic hallway, but building a place where something happened.



I made some new concepts for the new assets that I want to create.


And I organize myself putting PostIt on my wall then I can see what I still have to do before finishing the scene.
