Epic stuff man, looks great good work, i never follow tutorials properly too x]

well I couldn't get it to work, so I made it my own :P

Looks great! Nice work!

Did you get my 'inspiration' pm i sent you ages ago?

I did get it, but I only draw faces atm, cause I suck at bodies, and there were only a few facial deformities in that link you gave me :/


btw, check the post, just edited it with a link to a close-up of the light

Pretty epic, mate. I should work on some stuff like that

Try to add some reflections and more light. Learn to use HDRI maps

HDRI maps, I tried, and failed, so I'm working on my modeling and lighting right now

HUGE UPDATE!!! (last image)

Well you need a hdri image
Make a material diasble everything and check luminance

On luminance texture apply the HDRI image
After that make a huge sphere or a sky object(i prefer sphere)
Apply the hdr material to it
Put the renders inside the sphere
Select the sphere right click/ cinema 4d tags/ compositing

Disable cast shadows recieve shadows seen by gi and other stuff make sure its only seen by reflection

Apply a good global illumination

Add some reflective materials on your renders and render away

yea, that's what I did, but it failed, so I made mah factory

it's explained in the tutorial I linked to, which was originally what I was doing.

but, I don't have any good HDRI images, so it kinda defeats the purpose, plus, wouldn't global illumination ruin all the lighting I put in?
