Not bad 3D arty - The eyebrows look a bit like berts from sesame street, and It looks more like this guy is diseased or suffering from a nasty skin condition - is that what you intended ?

The previous texture had just the right amount of grit for a marine that had been through the wars, but i feel that this guy is a tad overdone.

Hope that helps [:)]

thx. yes thats cool im not to sure what i was trying to do with this one but ugly was my main goal, I did not try for a photo real texture
for this one, A bit more practice with the darker skin me thinks.

Hey guys, hope I don't seem to be hijacking this thread.

Like everyone else here I had a go at this skinning project, having never done this before, I was wondering if I could get some advice and critiques. Here's what I've pulled off so far. It's all hand done in Photoshop, but I can't seem to get away from the painty look.

I wanted a more photoreastic result like you guys, so yeah, quite bluntly, what's the secret? Any tutes I can look into?

Hi there IronhideNT[:)]

Ive made this up for you to try.

Here are some skin tones you can try and see what you can come up

with.

Photoreal art does take some work to get it looking good, But you will need to start with the base texture first. Have a look at photos of faces, find a face you like and brake it in to small squares,
and work with one squares at a time, so you get to know how that part looks and try and match it as best as you can. This is how I
got started and from there on it just takes time and the squares just get bigger and bigger.

But its mostley practices practices and more practices.

I hope this helps.

Great! Thanks to both of you for posting them up. Great insight.

What do you do for such smooth blending between the tones? Brush, bluring, or a soft brush with burn like the tute palantir put up?

Submitted by Farmer on Mon, 17/01/05 - 3:37 PMPermalink

Nice work 3darty and ironhide :), sorry for a very delayed reply been busy with alot of stuff. Ironhide, although I havent realy done alot of realistic stuff, blur and lots of layers works good for me (assuming your using photoshop), gives you more freedom to modify the layer instead of turning it into a burn/dodge mess, but everyones different, try them all and use what works best for you.
