Notes	This is a gift for my mother's 50th birthday, which was last week. I wanted to make a portrait but not a generic one, but one showing some characteristic charm of her. Also, she likes reading a lot so I ended with this result. It was done in 3dsmax, Zbrush for the head detailing and texturing and I used Mental Ray renderer. The other textures and the composition was done in Photoshop

Notes	I decided to do something crazy, namely to check how much a simple workstation can handle. The idea was to create exact models just like in real life. That means no displacement, just pure gometry. And it was a modelling experiment, to see if it's worth to suffer so much. I realized it would be too simple to create a character. So I asked my wife, Marta Wysocka, to make an amazing helmet based on LOTR movie. While she was working on it, I was working on clothes. And there was something missing in the fabric. When I saw her helmet I had to do something like she was doing. So I did the brooch. And it was a really small object compared to her helmet. After that I have hudge respect for her Anyway, finally we finished our family project In the making of this character I used maya and after zbrush for details of mouth and around the eyes. Textures in photoshop. To create cloth I used maya cloth, and maya fur. As far as I remember there were 1 300 000 small hair in the fabric. Also tiny hair on the face, but I don't remember right now how much. Long story short, I tried to do everything exactly as it is in the real life. It's up to you to decide if we've reached our goal. One thing is for sure - I can't do that better

Notes	I did this image as part of a Gnomon Presentation. I wanted to create something that would show my style and also mixing mechanical with organic modeling. I used Poly modeling in 3DSMax, Brazil Rendering system for render, Mudbox for displacement painting and Photoshop for textures. Note from publisher: Look at the hair coming out of the nose. Also note the skin pushed against the helmet. Amazing...

Notes	Here's another character I did for zbrush 3 beta testing. The purpose was to build a small pipeline with layers to retrieve skinpores on several models. You can see a realtime rendering on my website: (10 megs mov) http://sebleg.free.fr/2007/sebcesoir_character_1.mov Note From The Publisher: Another great model. Look at the out of fucus blurring of the right shoulder
