Just a bit ugly

This one is part of those ideas that come in an instant, take rezonably short to model, but eats many days of your life with rendering experiments.
And don't ask me what it represents, all I know is that it somewhat resembles an elephant, is ugly and fat.
I started with a base mesh in 3Ds Max, exported it to ZBrush for modeling and then back to 3Ds.
I experimented a lot with translucency, I wanted the model to look as it's made of wax...the second and the third picture represent just that. It looks a bit too transparent, but I like that.

Clay renders

Many Faces

This is the result of an idea I had a few days ago, it's a short experiment with ZBrush. Many people have more than one face, why can't I make something with eight...
After the ZBrush phase I exported the faces to 3Ds max for rendering

Sorry for the video quality...

Cristal

This is an old work of mine, it's quite simple, but I find it interesting

Smiley

Another funny picture
I painted the smiley face in Photoshop and after a little bit of modeling in 3Ds Max and scene arangement I came to this render.

Clay render

Ugly old green man

This is my first drawing of a character, I know it's not the work of a pro, but I'm still learning. Made in Photoshop

Devil - Part 1

I am the maker and creator of the devil, here you have a glympse of what he will look like. I tried to make him ugly but also elegant and with a mean smile
I used ZBrush to model this character, and I'll probably export it to 3ds max for rendering after finishing all the details, textures and posing
If you think there is something to make it uglier or meaner, leave a comment

Passat Variant

After finishing the Ferrari tutorial, just up to the exterior part of the model, I started my own project, modeling my Passat.
Here are a few pictures of it.... Again, only the exterior is made.
Made in 3ds max and rendered with Vray. I used a HDRI image for lighting and reflexions

Ferrari F430

Now it's time to post something more serious
This is a Ferrari f430 I made with a tutorial. it's done in 3ds max and rendered with mental ray
As you may notice, the interior is missing...I got bored and started another project

Just for fun

Also with 3ds max and rendered with Vray, here is a funny fish I made one evening
now that I see it, I realize that a purse would make a nice add-on along with the lipstick and pierceings, but I'll leave that for a later time

if you like it or even if you don't or maybe you have got some advice, please leave a comment... and please keep it professional...

I don't know why the hair didn't render in the last picture... maybe because the model is being overlaped by the water object.
If you know the reason for this, please leave a comment

First post

This is a blog I wanted to create for a long time and today is the day. I've got lots of 3D projects just sitting in my computer since this is a hobby that follows me for few years now and some of them will eventually find their way here.
As a start, here are some abstract pictures I made with 3D Studio Max a while ago
