Description

First posted in my gallery at RDNA. This started as one of those "I wonder if I can ..." - sculpted, UV'd and painted from scratch in Zbrush in an afternoon. The high-res sculpt was somewhere in the 20 million poly range, so I used a 40-50,000 poly mesh (with terrible topology!) as the base to set it up in Poser after creating displacement, normal and colour maps. I had different groups for the skin and horns so setting up material zones with the Grouping Tool was a snap. I then made a simple SSS shader for the skin, plugged all the maps in, used 2 levels of subdivision, a single spotlight plus IDL and rendered in PP2014. Processing was done in Photoshop and Camera Bag. Back view to follow ....
