SPHINX, modelling, warning NUDITY!!!

[maurobaldissera]

This is a digital remake of " Sphinx " a statue by Marc Quinn.
She a girl in a very hard and sexy yoga pose.

Hi guys this is my last work: Digital Sphinx
I've seen the real statue by Marc Quinn and I 've said: wow I want to make it in 3d. Finaly today I've finished this project...
I've used 3d studio max to model the girl and Mudbox for details(I was a mudbox betatester).

Now I explain and show you some particulars of my work. check it out!

Here you can see the big resolution.

It was a hard work coz it was very difficult to model a girl in this position. So I've modelled in T pose, then I've rigged she with Character Studio and moved sphinx pose. In this way I've remodeled some parts of girl.

Then I've used Mudbox to define all the details. this model has 3 millions polygons.

The face is not so detailed coz she is a young woman:

For the render I've used three passes: 1 Diffuse+ GI,2 SSS(mental ray), 3 occlusion(mental Ray).
For the lighting I've use two light and a Hdri(Uffizi)
thanks everybody for the helps in wip forums
I' hope you like it

It's not bad at all, but I don't like the use of the Dent map. It's too uniform.

[No Pants]

Can you please show a final render with the clothes off? Nice work.

[AKA_Slayer]

Wow this work is amazing! All the details that were modeled and the pose of her is very well done :)
I think it will be interesting to see this woman as a live one, I mean with human skin, eyes etc.

[djayartwork]

nice job but bump mapping seems to be in planar projection

[Kage]

Very lovely work :) I really love the way the final render has come out.
I can see a lot of work has gone into this.

[Diabolos]

Can you please show a final render with the clothes off? Nice work.

WTF :dunno:

[djmj]

Great Work :)

This must be the hardest pose for a character modeler I´ve ever seen.....

The bump doesnt bug me to mutch, but there is a repetive uniform pattern. Iam happy to give this four stars, five with a better bump and a more proper scenery for this great looking statue....

Best wishes

true until zBrush 3 comes out - have you seen the video - now anyone will be able to do 3D.

Great model by the way.

D,

[gfx.KhronoS]

This is awesome... i love the final results... looks pretty close to a real statue... great job.

[neolith]

Can you please show a final render with the clothes off? Nice work.
Don't worry,one day you'll be able to model naked chicks yourself.
The statue looks really good,it must've been really hard with the rigging.

[niki]

no stars for this great work ??!!
5*

[Mr.Alex]

Model is great!Good work!

[RockstarKate]

This is a great model- based on a really amazing piece of art.
One crit though (other than the dent thing)- In the final naked version, her genitals are really in the wrong place, the labia should be higher on her pelvis. If you look at the images with her underwear on, it seems like her pubic area is more toward the front of the body, but in the naked image it is too far back.
Really great job otherwise! 5*

[No Pants]

Can you please show a close up of the vagina final rendered.

[neolith]

No Pants,go see your mother's.

[No Pants]

Id prefer yours.

[inveni0]

Geez, No Pants....

...seriously...

...get outta here.

I don't even think it's legal for you to enter these nudity threads. You could at least be a bit more subtle...like the guy that said he couldn't wait to see a render with regular skin shaders.

[brentagain]

do you really think this is fair to the artist who started this thread?
Don`t worry about no-pants,his days are numbered.
This is a superb work.I have to agree that the bump map seems a bit planer
but that`s a small critique:)
5*

[lunarion6]

Guess he's on the wrong forum here

[Yoda]

he could be trying to see a good way to model it but i doubt it, get out no pants! :)

[Ferry P]

Can you please show a close up of the vagina final rendered.

Aaaah...isn't that sad.
This guy is so desperate to see a vagina he doesn't care if it's 3d.

pssst...be honest with me....did you w@nk of on this artwork?
You did, didn't you?
I'll bet you also have a naked clothing-doll next to you in your bed.


OT now:

I very much like your modelling...the renders look good aswell, but I think the texture isn't really great. Not really convincing.
Anyway...the modelling is so freakin' nice that I give you 5 stars never the less

[neolith]

Off:You know why he wears no pants?So he can go f*** himself.
On:I forgot to give you my 5*****,it's ashame such a great thread is disturbed by a desperate guy who never had a girlfriend,maybe you can ask some mods to take measures if you want.But regarding your work,i have only good words to say,congratiolations!

[maurobaldissera]

You mean my post? :smug: I meant with clothes on, not naked or anything, becuase it can look so beutiful as a
real woman, the uniform rock skin takes away some of the beuty of this model.

thanks guys, I'm so happy to read your comment. :cry:

This is an amazing work! I have seen a TON of people looking at it at my school and just drooling over it! It is an excellent piece!

I hope the comments here from various people do not make you want to leave ... please stay and share more work like this with us. :D

[maurobaldissera]

Wow really??? I'm so happy.
thanks alot!!

[DigitalPutty]

Wow really??? I'm so happy.
thanks alot!!

Yup. :D You are welcome! I hope to see more work *hint hint* ;)

[Mr.T]

amazing work!! incredible pose, I don't think the dent ruins it since the model
itself is more important imho.

my only crit (please excuse me) would be the hair, it looks too much like
another object placed ontop of her head and not welding with it.

again, it's a wonderful job you did there ;)

[Freespace-3DT]

I really like it a lot, great use of Mudbox for the little details, and the anatomy is spot on, though I haven't seen a woman in this exact position before, I can see that this would be how the muscles would arrange themselves.

Only crit would be how you placed the bump, you could try to add a little variation to it with a Mix map and throw a Mask on it.

Make sure to show us your future work aswell, Mauro Baldissera, you've got skills and it shows. Congrats for the Frontpage, aswell.

5 earned STARS.
