A picture done for a challenge (3DStation 'Dark Fantasy') on a french's CG forum.
Not finished at 100% for the deadline (02 september) but I'll work on it and post the final result on CGTalk

Lot of fun to practice some workflow between Maya (modeling low), Mudbox (detailing and Hi model) and Zbrush (painting texture and bump map).

Beta testing Zbrush 3 - rough detailing -
Real time shader on viewport with shadows/cavity and custom material.]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2007 20:45:24 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/488919

The news real time shaders are just amazing in Zbrush 3,
you can see the volume like on a real sculpture and nothing
to do from classic old 3D softwares shader like blinn or phong...]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2007 20:44:23 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/488918

Beta Testing Zbrush 3 - Body parts not finished -

Very happy to see that I can add fine details like on the face
but on whole body now and with the same PC than with Zbrush 2.
Great performance improvment for this Zbrush's update ]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2007 20:38:24 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/488911

A second color (an posing) version of Zanganken Girl.
It was difficult to place the differents poses in the same space ^^.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:43:58 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/480512

A little mascot for an ephemere website, but a cool practice (design, skinning).
Rendering with 3DS Max.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:42:14 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/480507

The second picture inspired from E.Bilal's comic character.
I used more deliberate 'drawing' like style for the texture and toon shader.
I would like to see one day an animated movie with a similar look ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:27:57 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/480505

For this picture, I switched to Maya for modeling and XSi for rendering.
The original design is from Enki Bilal and 'La Femme Piege' (the woman trap) a french's comic.
I tried to achieve a more 2D look over 3D work with hand painted textures.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:18:35 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/480504

The final picture I made after completing the original Joan's tutorial for 3DS Max
Like the robots 's picture I used lot of rendering passes and layers to complete all the details and displacements for the background.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:07:00 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/480502

I made a second picture for the little female robot to better show her details.
Also, it was a test for me to use multi pass and layers rendering with lot of displacement for the background.
Each part of the decor was rendered separatly then composited with Photoshop.
If I remember well, I have a PII 400Mhz with 512Mo at this time, so with theses tricks it wasn't a big problem... ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:00:00 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/480499

See the other same picture in my portfolio to see more details, the original post with CG Award ^^.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2007 21:53:07 +0000 http://mroger.cgsociety.org/gallery/56611

I did these two pictures last october, november 2002.
The right robot is Little K, done with Maya 3 then imported
and finished in Max 4.2.
Little A made with Max 5 and new polygons tools
For the characters the shader is shellac based with Ink&Paint shader for the "Toon touch" and Blinn shader or Translucent shader.
For the lighting, very simple Direct Light and Omnis independant system for each component (landscape and characters), so it's easier to tweak how each character react with the light.
With the second picture, I used omnis ring to simulate ambiant or indirect lights like ground or sky and a Direct Light for the sun.
For the two pictures, all components rendered in passes and composited with Photoshop 7.
So it was very simple to finalise fog or depth of field in 2D or to tweak contrast or colors...
And because lot of heavy displacements for the landscape, it was a good pratice for me for how to achieve that with a simple Athlon 1Ghz and 512Mo.
(Max displacement is not very fast to pre-calculate and take lot of RAM :annoyed: but it's work fine at last)
I used Painter 7 for textures too with a Wacom Intuos 2.
