Here’s a second version of my practical set. It includes the materials from the previous version.

Hi everyone- gorgeous matcaps in this thread, great work. I have a problem though- I’m wokring through rafael ghencev’s head sculpt lessons and he uses sathe’s skincore mat- but all the links I can find for it are dead. Does anyone have it that I could grab pls? It’d really help me with trying out some render settings I’m investigating! Thanks in advance,

~P~

Okay, let’s see if i can do this right…I apologize for my lack of posting, but thought (after tripping across this thread quite by accident recently) I’d add a few materials to the mix.
In the Pixologic download site, i started to see ‘Avatar’ and ‘Dr. Mannhatten’ materials, and it kinda inspired me to start making some of my own from some of my favorite horror movies like ‘the Thing’ and ‘the Howling’.

And since I have now twice had to design Predator helmets, i thought it might be a good idea to make one of those as well…I simply took framegrabs from the movies and tried to match as best i could (with my limited knowledge). Anyway, they’re fun, and i thought some of you might get some use out of them…

***** EDIT: PC AND MAC VERSION (ZB 3.12) NOW AVAILABLE *****

I finally found some time to throw these mats I’ve been working on together and post them. I’ve worked over a period of several months on the realistic skin shader alone (starting back in ZBrush 2!) so I hope you all get good use out of them.

A. Realistic Skin (quad shader) - Below I’ll post a few directions on how to use it. It’s a bit tricky.
B. Another skin quad shader. A bit more subdued than the realistic one.
C. Basic Flesh Matcap material.
D. Verdi Gris Bronze
E. Antique Bronze
F. Bronze with highlights - there’s a couple small light sources from the sides in the matcap texture to give a little more interest.
G. & H. Sculpting Material 1 & 2 - I made these to try to come up with some mats which are good while sculpting in realtime.
I. Rusted Iron - I tried to upgrade Jantim’s mats to work well with ZBrush 3 and this is about as close as I got so far. I’m still working on it, but I think it’s decent enough to upload.

Here’s the links to the materials:

KRAKEN’S MATS SET1 - MAC

KRAKEN’S MATS SET1 - PC

And now for the explanation of the Realistic Skin quadshader. In the first image below I added a swatch of color showing the skin color I used. Obviously that can vary, but I find that color works pretty well.

Also, the shader is very sensitive to the light settings so I put these images together with some notes which should help you to use them.

Hey, can you make an updated version for R3, or tell me how? I love these screenshots as they are the closest to real skin I’ve seen in a Mat, but even following your directions with the lighting I’m not getting this look at all.

[O_MI]

oh yeah an update for these MATz would be great…

[KrakenCMT]

I’ll see what I can do to update those mats in the near future.

And while I’m here talking about mats, I’ve also been spending a little time here and there on developing another full set of mats (some matcaps, some not) which look like other realistic metals, stones, clays and skins.

Here’s a quick preview of three of them, but there are several others in the set and are not quite done yet. I’ll upload them all when they are done, which will be soon. They will be a mix of matcaps, quad shaders and tri shaders.
