Hej all,

I spent some free time to recreate Peter Cushing's skin surface. I was also unhappy with the proportion of his forehead / head and cheeks.
More renderings will follow soon.

...the October is over but this guy is still waiting to get ready!!

still WIP!!

Next Update!

Hey guys,

here are some sinppets of the #Orctober progress ;)
Sculpted in zBrush, Texturing in Mudbox and Photoshop.

Skin texture shader bla bla testing!!

Here are three renderings with different light setups in Maya to find the best value of the skin shader.
I also painted new maps for the coat weight, rough and spec channels.

I think the skin looks better than the previous.

It is very tricky to research his head tattoo...

Modeling and Texturing in Mudbox 2018
Rendered in Maya 2019 - arnold renderer
Hairsystem with XGen
Using XYZ Skin Alphas
Nuke for merging the AOVs

I started a new subproject! In the past I reshaped the head and worked on the body but I was really unhappy with the results.
Now (yesterday) I retextured the skin and rebuilt his beard for a better natural look. Tweaked the new arnold shader in Maya 2019.
I took the model from 2017

Here is my reference screen with color grading from Vikings.

Hope you stay tuned.
