Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
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

To be fair I had most of this body ready from a previous character, but just made a few adjustments.
Need to give him a new 'old man' texture for his hands as they will appear in a few tight shots, typing It will make sense when you see the shots and it will be more interesting that it sounds.

Needs a pocket on the shirt with a few pens in it of course.
Will send him to ZB to reshape him a bit

Character looks good, be careful on that armpit, reduce it in size a bit more, I know thats how shirts hang in that area, but Im thinking of your rig. Add some detail to the strides too, they look a tad starchy! LOL
overall nice proportions....

I have a blend for the pits to pull them in as you say for rigging.
As for shape, haven't reshaped him yet, it's just a default bod at the mo. Will hunch him over slightly and so on. Just got to add a few more bit to the default body and then I'll start giving him a bit more character in the body shape.

Once I put his hair on I'll see if he needs a touch up on the maps on his patch.

arran: Thanks. There was a bump which can be seen on the image at the top of the page which I smoothed out for the following picture. Will double check though to see if it needs a bit more work.
He's not done with yet. Will create some bump/normal maps for seams and stitching.

This guy looks like a teacher in highschool that I didn't like and that didn't like me.
Good work Gio, looking forward to seeing the other guy you started.

Zbrush does make organic modeling a lot easier, and more enjoyable. Although it still requires exactly the same patience and attention to the basic principles as any other software method. However making changes to form are far more intuitive and speedy, and it will allow you to take you work further. Until the next version of maya when perhaps it will get the mudbox intergration which would be interesting.
I'll be flitting between this and the soldier character at the mo as I needed a break from creating old men in suits, as this one is the third 'suit' I needed for the opening pages, but then things get more interesting.

one thing that stands out is the texture of his hair where it starts at the back - it's just looking a bit straight at the moment.
