Hope you’re having a good week-end, peeps. You’ve made mine. :slight_smile: Looking forward to posting on your art some time soon. Here’s another round of replies for you…

Winged One
Thanks a lot. :slight_smile: I’m taking a breather right now, before I go back to the texturing. It’ll probably take me a while before I finish. :+1:

DLee
Hi D, hope you’re not too breathless… :smiley: It’s lucky for you I didn’t show his body. :grimacing:

DM
Hey there DM, thanks very much for your words. Seeing your work has inspired me much in the past. :+1:

robotalk
Hello Robo, I’m glad you decided to pop in. :smiley:

Rafael Hernandez
Nice to see you too, Rafael. :slight_smile:

PusGhetty
Thanks, Pus, appreciate that. :+1:

I’ve been playing around with the lighting, just thought I’d show you an image, see what ya think compared to the earlier one…

#25

Bravo man! Looks amazing!!! :+1: :+1: :+1:

#26

Heya Grubomatic!! I’ve been following along on this at CGT. I like the last pic the best by far. His skin is still a little shiny but I know you aren’t finished with all the maps yet. Please continue to enlighten us O’ great and powerful Oz! :smiley: :+1: :+1: :+1:

#27

Great work Grub!! Wauuu !!! :smiley: :+1: :+1:

#28

Hi Grub
That’s better :slight_smile:
Hairs seems more natural :smiley:
Maybe more eyelashes(on low) This man is brawn so his hair system must be thickful !)
He has now a little coquettish look :slight_smile:
Sure he projects a new conquest :roll_eyes:
This guy gives a riveting performance ! :+1:
Pilou

#29

wow, I am totally impressed this really looks like him! Well done indeed!

:slight_smile:

#30

~Pant~ ~G~ That last pic is pure perfection as far as I can see. Hard to believe we have the same tools yet you can make something like that, where I get goo ~L~ Keep posting.

Mahlikus
Thanks again Mahlikus. :+1:

Mentat7
Heya M7, glad to see ya. :slight_smile: Thanks for your crit- you are right, the skin is a bit too shiny- or maybe sweaty. :smiley: I’ll sort that out when I paint a decent specular map. :+1:

MrBraun
Cheers, Mr B! :smiley:

Frenchy Pilou
Haha, Pilou- merci beaucoup pour le critique de Monsieur Bond… :smiley:
I will work on the eyelids (I’ll be modelling some lashes) and thicken up the hair as you suggest, then he’ll have 'em swooning. :wink:

Northstarr
Hiya, thanks very much. :slight_smile:

DLee
I’ll gladly keep posting for you Ms Lee, I’ll have another Z-texture update soon. :slight_smile: I didn’t use ZBrush modelling tools this time (although I could’ve), because I needed to build him in Lightwave to expand my skill-set. :+1:

Catch you later… :slight_smile:

#32

absolutely supreme job, Grub! kudoskudoskudos!!! please imagine each and every positive superlative here —> :smiley:

Wow, really photo-realistic turn out Grub. Much better warmth on the skin and an accurate tone, I think. Excellent detail with a soft touch, :+1: :slight_smile:

Better hair as well on the ends of the strands. If I have to nitpick, I’d say he’s missing a few lashes on his bottom eye lids but only because you’ve so improved the rest. :slight_smile:

PS Don’t think you could’ve perfected his face structure anymore. I think there’s some obsessive attention to co-ordination there, you could have as well used a scanner. :wink:

#34

Amazing likeness, the hair and skin are both better. How many polys was this?

David

#35

wow grub, he is amazing. you really catched connery´s charme. in particular his eyes… only to me, his hair still looks unnatural. its better than in the first image, but still the strands look like copies. looking forward to an update.

#36

juandel
Hiya Juandel, thanks- I much prefer superlatives to expletives. :sunglasses:

gummie
Thanks for nitpicking, it all helps. :slight_smile: I will get round to modeling some lashes for him.
PS the tweaking is not over yet… :smiley:

zerobudgetgamemaker
Hi Zero, before subdivision the polycount’s around the 6000 mark for the head, hair, eyes and body. That’s about 3000 ZBrush quad polys. :+1:

kokoro
Hello Kokoro, cheers. :slight_smile: I agree with you about the hair, I’ve yet to model his style properly. A better barnet is on the agenda. :smiley:

#37

neuf a la banc :+1:

even from the first image I learned that there is something irreducible and fascinating about that face, which I had not noticed before

even though, after reading an early Bond novel, I already agreed that Connery was the only true Bond :wink:

P.S. – I’m looking forward to the chest-hair tutorial :smiley:

#38

whow, Grub, you have very well the “identity”(ressemblance)of sean connery, when fighting dr no…a very difficult modelling, much more difficult than an older model! :+1: :+1:

#39

Brilliant model Grub , it looks a lot like him. Give him a tuxedo and a stylish gun and you’re off making a new bond movie :slight_smile:

#40

Havran- Connery is the kind of actor that makes a film great, even now he’s still got presence (heheh, chest hair and all). :slight_smile:

Marcel- thanks a lot, I’ve really enjoyed trying to get him right. I used to draw 2D caricatures a few years back, and I thought it was about time I had another go at a famous face in 3D. Speaking of caricatures, your Woody allen was exceptional. :+1:

The Namek- Heh, thanks- yeah, Connery come’s back in another Bond Movie, called “Never say Never (Ever, Ever) Again”. :smiley:

Couldn’t sleep, might as well update. :wink: Here’s an improved version which looked good in old style b/w- not everything’s been fixed yet…
