some fun

self portrait… in 3d :)

so overall this was an interesting project…  this my my first serious face model from scratch, used blender for the most part in terms of modelling.  blenders base level tools (move, scale, rotate, extrude) are the best i’ve found in all 3d apps…  encountered more hitches with texturing than expected which got me frustrated but i managed to pull off enough hacks to get it to look decent

no zbrush or any bump/normal/displacement maps here, no time for that

so i totally cheated with the textures and just projection painted the reference images straight onto the model… but it actually ended up causing more hassles later on
pretty simple shader, no spec just incidence angle based reflections , hdri lighting etc…

bla bla bla
