Therese never enough characters for the Title Box.... the proper title is:

Timorese Victim of Cyclone Nuri

I wanted to make this guy look like hes had a very very hard life. In doing my research, I found this drunk dude that was wasted at 7am. My old-guy is also buzzed due to the destruction of his home and his crops. Hes a beggar now with no hope.

VALUABLE INFORMATION MAX USERS.

This is for work, and by far the best thing that I think Ive ever done. I believe I finally mastered the SSS shader. I had no idea that the shader was affected so much by the lighting. I think until I did this piece, I really sucked at it. I did this tutorial and it saved my ass royally.... so thank you Mr. Sebastien Sonet for your magnificent lighting help. You can check out his skillz here: [link]

I'd also like to thank Mr. Max Kor for his hook up on the Night Elf stuff. Hes hardcore when it comes to photo realism. [link]

The smoke is not a particle effect, Its 4 meshes with a FAB material designed by Dzordz. You guys should check this out.... [link]

I would also like to thank MAX Wahyudi for his SSS help through the Ingrid Bergman tutorial. [link]

I composited this in Photoshop. I added an unsharpen mask to the Final Gather Render, and then added the Ambient Occlusion Layer to it.

I decided to take the Crytech Texturing route because this project that we are working on has modular complexity. Thats the reason for my rather different texturing aspect ratios.
