This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

marlonjohn: Cheers, I've been using maya for about 5 or six years now, although I'm new to ZBrush.

Nice job mate - I love the crowsfeet around the eyes. ZBrush must really agree with you
I only notice 1 small thing, the skin inside the nostrils seems a little bright? (or maybe you plan to grow some hair there
)

tiddles: Thanks. Yeah, I need to tweak to SSS map, it's bleeding through a little too far, but the lighting isn't final yet anyway, got to do spec maps, and hair eyebrows and so on before I worry too much about that.

I haven't been able to post for a bit as had no internet for a week due to bloody NTL-Telewest.
Anyway, here's is an update at last.
Will be moving on to shave and a haircut for maya to create the brows, beard and hair

Er, not really, just self-taught trial and error kind of method.
The skin was created within Zbrush using a various skin samples I have. the bump was made using the BumpViewer Material in Zbrush, and then all rendered in Maya Software Renderer using DT3D SSS shader.
Glad it's appreciated as it's my second go at a human head, and the first one isn't finished and I will be giving it a revamp with the experience gained from creating this character.

I was just wondering - are you going to add some of that greasy hair and moustache that you have going on in the drawing? I like how he is bald, but it might be good to see how it looks.
ha ha Eldwick - a crud! - don't be so hard on yourself mate.

arran: Thanks. As I mentioned in earlier in this post, I'm just starting to use Shave And A Haircut to create the hair for the character, never used it before, but then I hadn't used ZBrush before this character either.
I'm working on the beard at the moment, will post something when I think it's worth showing anyone.
