This has been a really long way to go. I’ve been working on it since the last blender life contest here on BA. For each new blender release, there are new incredible features that ease and improve my modeling and rendering. Hair is rendered from cycles, face sculpted in blender. I used 3-layered SSS cycles material.
I look at him and he looks exactly like him, although still obviously a render.
Right now I see several things that could make him more realistic.
Using less glossiness on his nose will help.
The reflection in the eyes should be smaller, right now I don’t really have an idea of where he is looking.
The sss seems slightly too transluscent near the eyes and mouth.
Depending on when you intended it to be, you could have the hair more random and curly.
I’m not certain, but I believe there is hair going through his right ear.
Now for the good stuff…
The lighting is great.
The facial hair is also great in both it’s materials and it’s grooming.
The sculpt is very accurate to the source.
I don’t believe I see any textures at all and yet somehow he looks genuine.
Great work!
The nose is a little too reflective, but still amazing!
He looks very much like Robert Downey Jr, but the skin and eyes remind me more of wax figures in madame tussaud. i totally agree with Nivos.
Nevertheless, you did a great job on this :-).
A very good likeness indeed. I think the clothes are the most “CGyee” looking part of this, I think maybe spend some additional time on those material setups would be worth the effort.
All I can say is what everyone else has already amply mentioned: First, the sculpt is pretty flawless. I instantly would recognize this as Robert Downy Jr. even without the title describing him. The expression also, though neutral, is one we’ve seen on the big screen numerous times. Well done.
The materials could use work, as has been said, but I don’t need to go on about that. This is very good work. You deserve all the kudos you can get for this. Keep up the great work.
