    Default Sunday with the Imp


    Hello everyone!

    I have been working on this guy and I am just about finished with him. He still needs to be posed and I need to get rid of his blank stare. The final image will be of him coming out onto his front porch to get his Sunday newspaper. Let me know what you guys think of him so far and let me know where you think I can improve on this guy and the scene.









    it's all still very work in progress so let me know what you think

          here is an update made the lighting brighter finished texturing the back ground and adjusted some of the shaders on the imp I am going to wait until he is posed and I have figured out the camera angle before I model anymore on the interior. the glass in the render is really grainy because I turned the samples down just so that it would render faster. The third image was just me testing the dof settings on the camera and I thought it looked cool

            This is looking good Josh, I think the eyes need a little bit of work on the shaders, they need to look more wet, check your specular and reflections.

            The other thing that kinda bother me a little is how the muscles seemed to be kinda outlined, specifically the chest and deltoids. maybe that's from an ao pass or maybe painted but imho it is too strong.

                    Hi Josh, I see that you revised the Ao pass, looks better now, the eyes look better as well. I think what you can improve now is the lighting and materials, specially the dark frames and the door mat; they are almost black. Then the beige of the wall is blown out so is the glass of the windows.

                    Looking good man.

                      hey angel thanks for stopping in again I agree all that stuff was pretty quickly thrown in so I am going to go back and work on that stuff these renders I am posting today are done in a linear workflow and I think the lighting is coming along alot better


                      so based on some feedback from over on cgfeedback I am working on developing the textures some more so here is where I am at with this so far, I would like to know to know which you guys prefer the warm skin tone or the cool skin tone




                      Thanks for looking and thanks for your input
