Gleb! Great render, i love this.

Did you sculpt this? I was wondering about the texturing as well, is it vertex painted?

Man keep them coming, eye candies!

PS (5 starred obviously!)

^Looks like scanned shoes going by the wireframe. Photogrammetry?

NIce work Gleb, and thanks for all the tuts.

p’tain trop fort sa ! Great render, very awesome, yeah !

Yes the process looked like this: first I photoscanned the models using Memento (maybe later on I’ll post something about the funny things & solutions during this stage), then I retopologized the boots (that are in the front), and baked textures. After that it was materials and lighting.
What I wanted to do is go over the top and produce something hyper.

I used vertex paint for mixing some textures, but for the most part it’s the photo-based textures.

Very cool! I love the overall grunginess. Beautiful work.

Stop hacking!

A joke?

Great job Gleb! No matter the means and technique; a great image is a great image.
There is a buttload of hacking/faking stuff even in AAA Hollywood big budget films!

Appreciate artists like you who share their knowledge and secrets openly, thanks Gleb! And seriously man, stop it with the crazy good renders ahah!

That’s exactly what I think!

You’re a CG photographer, if there has ever been one. It’s really cool how you manage to hack the CG medium.

Toshi, you’ve just coined a name for new profession, or a new… I dunno… trend! Woah, that sounds so cool. I’ll write it down to not forget it.
