Hi folks
here's a image I made, which is going to be featured on Ballistic's Publishing EXOTIQUE4.
This model which is going to appear on my new upcoming demoreel was based on the Czech supermodell Klara Medkova.
I wanted to achieve a more realistic feel with this one, so I took special attention to the eyes, and tried
to improve the way I made hair.
Original image size: 3636x2657, rendered on 3dsmax2009, using Mentalray.


Hope you like it! Cheers.]]> Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:01:43 +0000 http://fabiomsilva.cgsociety.org/gallery/631838



A model I'm working for my demoreel. My objective is to try to surpass my current skill in cg photorealistic human creation, creating the most photorealistic woman i can.
I'm using 3dsmax, Mentalray, and Hair&fur for the hair. PHotoshop for texturing. Feel free to help me improve my work at in this Work in progress thread- http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?p=5152093#post5152093

Ciau!]]> Thu, 15 May 2008 17:17:42 +0000 http://fabiomsilva.cgsociety.org/gallery/625508

This is a picture i've worked for quite some time, based on one of my favorite characters in WarCraft III.

I'd like to give a special thanks to all who helped me push this image so far with good critics: Florian Delarque, Paul Hormis, Charley Carlat, and specially to Tim Jones. U guys are great!

Hope you guys like it. Cya!

PS: Curiously enough, he's got the same name(or very similar to myne), Myne being Fábio Ilidio M. D. Silva . So, i believe the english translation for Ilidio is Illidan.]]> Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:02:08 +0000 http://fabiomsilva.cgsociety.org/gallery/629961

This is a picture i've worked for quite some time, based on one of my favorite characters in WarCraft III.

For this image, I wanted to achieve the same type of image as presented in the Warcraft III game covers(each one showing half of the characters face). Arthas(my favorite char) has one, so why didnt Illidan got to have one too? Well, here's my attempt on it.

Damn he looks sexy! :P haha!

PS: Curiously enough, he's got the same name(or very similar to myne), Myne being Fábio Ilidio M. D. Silva . So, i believe the english translation for Ilidio is Illidan.

3Dsmax to render all elements out, and textures on photoshop. All hair is from hair&fur. I didnt need to paint any extra hairs in photoshop since i think it got quite what i was looking for.

I'm really sad i can't participate on Blizzard's European Arthas contest since im from portugal(tho portugal is from europe).

anyway, Hope you guys like it!

Byakugan eyes version


Hi there! This is my 4th Naruto Image, this time i decided to model Hinata. Initially i wanted to portray her in a battle, but it wasnt quite working so i trashed the idea and decided to put her in a cute pose.
Her Byakugan eyes were quite challenging. I needed to create eyes that were truth to the character while making them not look to dull nor unrealistic. in the end i added some pupils that still gives the strangeness that i was looking for while not looking too cartoonish.
Unlike the other naruto characters of myne , i decided to give a try to polygonal hair this time, even i also made a hair&fur version. But the hair rectangular/bowl haircut style wasnt quite working as i wanted, so i went to the polygonal approach to the end. It looks far less realistic, but i believe it stays more truthful to the character.
This is my first time using DOF in a image, hope it works.
Anyway, hope u guys like it.
The model was done in 3Dsmax, retouched in zbrush.
The matte painting and character textures were done in photoshop and this picture was rendered using brazil r/s.

For some reason the image got really badly compressed when i upload it, so here's an unblurred version:

This is my 3D version of Kakashi, the "copy ninja" from Naruto Anime TV SHOW/Manga.

I've tried to show him in his attack "Raikiri".

Hope you like it.

Modeled in 3dsmax, Rendered with Brazil and composited & color corrected in photoshop.]]> Sun, 18 Mar 2007 00:14:17 +0000 http://fabiomsilva.cgsociety.org/gallery/379047

This Picture was made in 3DSMAX and Photoshop.

I've been working on it for quite some time, then i've stopped and returned to it a few days ago to complete it.

It is based on a Naruto character called Momochi Zabuza, who's known as "Eyebrowless freak". I've tried to portrait him to closely resemble the one in the anime, but at the same time having a realistic look.

I've chosen one of his most famous poses "Silent Killing" where he is holding is fingers in front of his mouth looking to us, making his opponents tremble in fear as he summuned a water dragon. Also, he is standing above water as it is one of the many abilities Ninja possess.

Hope you'll like it. Cheers.

Hi there. First of all I'd like to thank Lunatique, for his posing tips, since I believe he helped make this image a lot better, Ian Joyner for being born, and Paul Hormis, for being an excellent teacher. You guys surely helped me.

This is my photorealistic attempt of Hoshigaki Kisame from NARUTO, as I invisioned him to be in our real world.

Like my previous Zabuza image, I made this one with one objective, to make a good desktop wallpaper, that I'd like to have on(and It is the one i currently have set).
Knowing this, the making of the actual image was pretty fast. It took me 5 days to make it from start to finish, being the last 2 days pretty much for photoshop only.

The actual image was rendered at 1280x960 using Brazil, a pretty large image(each render time per layer was about 15 to 25 minutes), rendered in several separate layers. Just for shadows and occlusions I probably have 6 different passes.
It is incredible the ammount of detail the image loses from 1280x960 to 1024x768. I had to put a bit of a unsharp mask on the lower res one in order to restore some of the detail that was lost. A pity indeed.

One of the most difficult tasks that I came across was the hair, which was really tricky to pull of. The hair is about 50% texturing and 50% hairfx, using hairfx mainly for the hair highlights as guidelines.

This is my first model using Brazil as rendering system(with a mentalray for the mainlight shadow layer), and Zbrush too. Thought I'm using very little Zbrush on this since I'm still not confortable with it yet. I've used it mainly to make some more wrinkles in the cloth(which was modeled using clothfx and some actualy hand modeling as well) and to enhance some features on the face.

This model is probably the first case for me where people hate it or love it, never being 50/50. I personally like it a lot, specially being a closeup renderer. I know it has some problems, but i need to continue my other projects, and improve as I move on.

It taught me a lot. I loved making it.

Well, thats all for me. Hope you like it, and see you soon, I hope.]]> Wed, 30 Aug 2006 22:02:06 +0000 http://fabiomsilva.cgsociety.org/gallery/586416

It's a character I designed to be a toy.

I've been watching some Animes and artwork with elven girls on, so i thought why not to make a elven girl? The cloth design is inspired in ancient greece, and I wanted to portray this female character to be somewhat like Cleopatra and Goddess Venus. I wanted her to be sensual and light.

The image of flowing fabric came into my mind as well she pouring water using a jar.

I actually drawn her in paper before modeling(LOL), i think it's a first for me. Really helps out in design and sparing time.

It was modeled in 3dsmax, handpainted textures in photoshop, and brazil to render.

I'll perhaps now re-make this image to a more CG-render instead of toy look.

Hope you like it. Cheers]]> Mon, 21 Jan 2008 02:14:34 +0000 http://fabiomsilva.cgsociety.org/gallery/557135

Hi there. "Beto Abrão"was a character for a short film comedy "BOATOS À LOUCURA".
The movie was supposed to be a live action film, but the juri liked the animatic of it so much it has decided to turn it into a "stylized" 3D animation movie, that would look "silly" and even "game-like".
Althought the movie was ranked as 1st place against other live action films in the contest.]]> Fri, 25 May 2007 13:46:10 +0000 http://fabiomsilva.cgsociety.org/gallery/513497

Here's an image i made for a contest. 2 days from start to finish with many overnight headheaches.

Guess making images in short ammount of time does not give good results.
