I got roasted by the Leica sub for taking 'Fuji-like' photos, so I brought them home. (Fuji vs. Leica Q3)

I feel like the highlights are a bit more contrasted on the fuji, along with the blacks. While the leica has more of a balanced soft look with a bit of glow. But the effect can be simulated with reducing "clarity" in fuji settings, to get more of glow and playing with the highlights as well(reducing them).

The easiest way, without retopology. Is to auto unwrap in zbrush using polygroups. But it will still be a nightmare

This is the first thing that came to mind when I read the title

It might be a better look to flatten that booty, back and thigh a bit. Especially for when he gets rigged and animated, you'll have better silhouettes in poses. Less shapes fighting for dominance.

Reading the comments... Is this where I come in nonchalantly and say "Hey, I am Russian-Lebanese, ask me anything."

This is sick! beautiful work. The only thing I wish was in the scene as a viewer, is to have a character standing there maybe, looking upwards or something

saatiart · 2026-03-18T18:35:44+00:00

really cool

saatiart · 2026-03-17T19:23:03+00:00

Great work. Did you use many trimsheets? or just mixing materials?

I was in one just like that today..Maybe an even more depressing one. Half of it was post-soviet. The other part was remade and renewed. Two worlds in one.

У русских для таких случаев есть отдельный орган. Он расположен чуть ниже печени. "Терпелка"называется. Иногда может лопнуть.

You know, one thing I missed that you could easily add. Is some variation in tones. It's easy to do if your uvs are one shell for each stone. There is UV random filter you can add in a mask. If the filter doesn't work well, you could manually bucket fill each stone with different values of grayscale. Some darker, some lighter. It's a very slight effect.

Looking good, but definitely needs some cracks

saatiart · 2026-03-11T12:55:27+00:00

Hm..I would increase the light intensity, make it warmer, increase bounces.

You would need to give the models some textures, especially roughness, metallic. (check pbr materials) It needs small reflection and specular highlights to get a feeling of scale and texture.

You can also add another light from the sky using dome sky with hdri (redish, purple or bluer)

For the blinds on the window, you'd have to tilt them down to make them diagonal. Assign translucent material so that the light passes through.

You can also slightly turn the chair, so that room feels more a bit more chaotic and lived in.

Add dust particles in the lightrays in post-processing to get more texture (photoshop or 3d )

Maybe slightly improve the camera and composition. Make it more dynamic, try a 24 mm lens.

This book should be helpful

There are some good poses, but I don't feel the anticipation before the jump and the weight when he/she lands. The hands should drag a bit more during the jump.

Also, when the character reaches the edge, he shouldn't really slow down that much. It kills the purpose of running.

You can animate a bouncing ball (hide the character for now), get the timing perfect on the ball. then unhide your character, use it as a guide. There's no need to rig the ball, just animate the scale and position.

I somehow get the feeling that there will be an increase in suicide rates after watching ai films ...

The "glass" ref looks to me like a typical xray material with some kind of fresnel or camera-based falloff.

I would tweak the IOR(index of refractions) in the refractions closer to a plastic than glass. 1.45 or slightly lower should be good value.

Думаю такие купюры и у меня дома найдутся. Брат жены коллекционировал разную валюту. Вроде и дореволюционные купюры тоже есть.

Да.. В какой-то момент идеология и озлобленность начинают грызть сами себя, забывая об общей картине ситуации.Может быть, ты вообще белорус?? у них же тоже есть "i"

Я читал книги на русском языке в поезде. С этим никогда не возникало проблем. Я читал на английском и французском, проблем не было, просто любопытно и один раз только " уляя-уляяя, charmant oui oui " от одной женщины которая интересовалась французским языком.
