Ebel The Warden Druid

[zuliban]

Hello everyone this is my lastest personal work , i wanted to create a character that looks friendly and a nature lover, he is a peaceful druid
who protects the forest temple, I made the weapon that he is carry blunt my idea is a druid loves nature and dont like to harm another creature
he use is very rarely and only carries it to scare invaders.


low poly modeling in 3ds max , Zbrush for hi poly and polypaint, photoshop for texturing and vray for rendering i hope you like it.

He returns! Lovely stuff - the subtle dof and optics add a huge amount. Post or vray dof? Skin looks great too!

Great work as usual Zuliban!
I'm working on a creature too but I'm having some problems exporting the displacement and other maps from zbrush to 3dmax. It seems something about uv smoothing.
Can you explain a bit of your workflow exporting maps and meshes from zbrush to 3dmax/vray, porfavor?

[zuliban]

thanks guys !

@joconell just vray dof i tried some other kind of post dof since i love bokehs and cat eye boken but at the end they left a lot of edges artifacts so i took vray dof
@gagui well i need to see an example of you work to know better , my process is like this do a fast low poly in max model a fast sketch of the character retopo send to max fix topology add some more polies then uv unwrap it send to zbrush and activate the smooth uv option before adding any subds and store a morp just if i need it anytime later. When i finish i just export the lowpoly of zbrush to max and apply the disp map sometimes the disp map can look bad if you render for example a 1k resolution one, i render it about 5k then reduce it, somehow if you reduce it to 1k it will look better than the one you made 1k straight form zbrush.

again thanks for your nice comments everyone.
