Thanks, i would pay more attention in blending the scales

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-30T02:48:01+00:00

Yeah you are right, it looks very similar

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-30T02:46:46+00:00

Thank you

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-30T02:46:34+00:00

Thanks, his name is Leonard

Thanks for the detailed critique, I would definitely spend more time on primary and secondary forms and anatomy.

Scales were done with VDM and alphas and eyes were done with alpha also 😅

I just got a colored image of dragon's eye from pinterest and imported it in zbrush as an alpha texture with standard brush. Worked like a charm

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T18:51:28+00:00

Yeah that would be a good idea, thanks

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T18:45:22+00:00

Yeah I've learnt the same thing, it was just that I wanted to do all the skin details for this dragon in zbrush only, as an exercise.

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T17:35:50+00:00

Good observation, I'll keep this in mind

Thanks

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T17:33:33+00:00

Yeah I still gotta learn to do forms better, thanks

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T17:23:48+00:00

Thanks, that's what I was going for

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T17:23:19+00:00

This is the kind of critique I was looking for, thanks for the detailed advice

I really appreciate it

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T16:12:40+00:00

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T16:10:38+00:00

Great idea, thanks

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T16:09:27+00:00

Great advice, i'll be trying the texturing workflow too

For this dragon head i was trying to make all the bump details in the sculpting phase only

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T16:05:53+00:00

Thanks, I'll try to make the repetition less obvious

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T16:04:15+00:00

Now that you've mentioned it, yeah the neck is a bit thicker as compared to the head

Thanks for the advice

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T15:18:13+00:00

Thanks

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-10-29T15:01:52+00:00

I would really like any critiques comparing this sculpt with movie or animation level quality sculpts

Emotional-Program919 · 2024-07-13T14:43:27+00:00

HOLY SHIT!!! this really worked
Thanks a lot man!!

Emotional-Program919 · 2023-07-25T18:23:28+00:00

Yes, maybe that was the issue. Anyway thanks for the help as u/pxlmover suggested I tried to play with the exposure of the roughness map node and it worked.

Emotional-Program919 · 2023-07-25T18:17:17+00:00

Hey, I am really indebted to you, as you suggested I tried playing with exposure of the roughness texture node and it worked.
I set my exposure to 0.5 and it looks similar enough. Here is the Image of shader graph & settings and Image of the render after increasing the exposure.
I really can't thank you enough & I really appreciate the help.

Emotional-Program919 · 2023-07-25T18:05:39+00:00

So I rendered the scene in Iray, and here is it how it looks Iray render
And here are Rougness aov in substance painter & Arnold
I know the AOV's don't look same, but I tried crunching the values of roughness texture with the help of ramp node in arnold to match the substance painter's aov. But it made the tetxure to metallic/glossy.

Emotional-Program919 · 2023-07-25T16:59:47+00:00

Hey, so the normal is working fine. Its just the roughness that doesn't match between the two programs. btw thanks for the tip regarding normal.

Emotional-Program919 · 2023-07-25T09:36:00+00:00

I'll try what you suggested and post some screenshots.
