Corinthian order
-
As I already mentioned, I used a trick in this case. (wrapping)
I could also just retopo - skin directly in 3DC, but this will take some hour.In many cases SU obj export can be imported directly to voxels -3dc. As it is translated to vox space, all su topology is a past now.
The problem is when you have non waterproof objects. They have to be closed. Inverted normals don't seem to be a problem. The worst of all is the non manifolds. You have to clean them (in SU) before exporting. Otherwise, I clean them in blender but its not really easier.After dropped to voxels room of 3DC you can sculpt as much you like but have in mind that in end you'll need to retopo this (if UVS and low-poly mesh is needed)
This corinthian capital (excellent model) was really a PITA. It doesn't have holes but its too complicated and you can find your pc out of memory. Or just import it to low density vox-room and loose all details and deal with some artifacts. Not practical IMO.
You can simply import this capital model just for UVs and direct surface painting in 3DC though (you can't with ZBrush). You can (real time preview) paint normal maps (depth) and even displacement map. -
So in inspired by these images, fantastic, im guessing you work in this industry?
-
Very inspiring model, can't wait the final work. Here is some 10 min renders from Thea IR. Original resolution at Thea Render forum.

You should lower the indirect lighting. The Ao as well. Normal maps working perfectly.
-
Perhaps I need to give this another try.

Where is the clap clap clap?
excelent (as always) -
You got a good render there.
Oh, I didnt know it was posted in October, I though
it was rendered today, i guess i wasn't around then. -
-
Thanks KarinaGM, the clap clap is in the 3dcoat forum
Well, I used SU for very basic structure + to export the capital and retopo-resculpt it.
Tools like artisan couldn't help at all. Blender, 3dcoat and zbrush are of the best tools around anyway. (for digital sculpting) -
Where those photos were taken?
-
You've done excellent. Renders like dont get any better then that.
I'm guessing your using an HDRI to light your models. -
No HDRI, I'm using a generated sky and this same for AO, environment lighting.
All these HDRI lighting is a myth actually. Same myth for reflections via HDRI. All these are just maps projected via normal to camera or to lighting direction. The "matcaps" of zbrush work exactly the same. A spherize distortion (Ps) projection through camera. This is all. Not a big deal but it works.Thanks modelhead, 3dc, right. A great app. Zbrush is a perfect app, 3dc is a unique one. My favorite apps.

Nice, a tip: when using HDRI for lighting ask blender to export a RGBA (png), then use a background decent photo in Ps. Or just do similar in compositor via nodes.
But see how more poly I rendered in less than a minute. And the best trick is that I can bake all these AO shadows lights in UV maps (these already exist) and have similar render quality in real time. Best for animation. I'm already traveling around in blender game engine. -
Thanks, Michalis,
for settings and the help. I'm also
trying out the examples from the net.
I think I'm getting it. -
excellent work Michaliszissiou !!
"as always" as a lot of people said before
