Hello,

worked on a self portrait in my free time.here are couple of images.

Base Mesh was done in maya and Mudbox for sculpting.

hi
you dont have your actual photo here to consider . but ears strike me first , they are a bit plane . and the head is a bit bulgy maybe it is caused by camera FOV . nice work by the way .

Hello Maxer,

Here are couple of reference images that i took of myself,and one more screenshot without specs,and yes i agree ears are quite flat,didnt really worked much on them,thanks for the reply.

Best,
Mayuresh

Nice, you really did a great job to match your self dimensions with the CG image!!

But i think you head is more “Rounded” than the CG image…

thanx for the actual references
here i made some liquify job in ps . it seems you made the sculpting in perpective view which can fool you in the proportions . try orthographic views .

all the best

	Attachment

Its well modelled, the thing that pops out for me is that the width of the temples and skull behind is too narrow for the width of the brows. Perhaps the lower part of the face could be a bit wider around the cheeks too. The shape of the forehead at the top in the 3/4 view looks a bit domed forward at the top, from your refeerence it looks like it should be a little further back and flatter to make it look broader
Good work

Nice work. I agree with Maxer for the proportions.

Hai..everyone I need help..to comment my first time rendering 3dsmax, I use render vray.

Hello,

Redcobra:Thanks for the reply and feedback.

Maxer:Thanks for the reply and feedback.yes usually i work mostly in perspective view,without any imageplanes in either orthographic or perspective ,just trying to eyeball it.but yes making the face slighlty broaded would have certainly helped .thanks.

Tonytrout:Thanks,for the feedback,agreed the pointed parts could have been better,but just tried to get as close as possible.:)

Mud-Fx:Thanks.

Gunawan:Good effort,But you could use some vray shaders for wood and fabric,to make it look real ,and playing with specularity settings can be helpful,right now the render looks quite flat.but still nice effort for a first render.

Matt-N ,RedCobra:LoL ;)

Hello,

johndevine:Thanks,yes, with maya this could have been done exclusively ,but it would have taken lot more time splitting edges, pushing and pulling vertices to make it look natural and organic.but yes yu can achieve it if you are a good polygon modeller.
but you cant achieve natural looking fine details in maya and subtle variation which sculpting applications like mudbox can achieve,another advantage of mudbox is you can sculpt a realistic head even from a single cube or sphere,which is great.
mudbox was a huge help while sculpting this head,the real perspective camera ,its brushes, and the speed which mudbox gives while sculpting is just great,in my opinion,i would advice you to go ahead and buy it.

JIG:Thanks.

Best,
Mayuresh
