Description
Alexander is ready to cast his first magic spell (on you!).
Thank you all for your great feedback and suggestions.
This helped a lot getting Alexander this realistic!
Rendered in Maxon Cinema4D R11.5 using GI and a very complex light- and reflection-system of my own. Alexander is M4 based with mayor improvements on the textures.
I am using my own skin shader and my own shader extensions for the eyes. The mesh is hypersmoothed and optimized. The curtain is modeled using hypernurbs to.
The spell is created using light sources combined with fractal shaders... My first own magic spell!
I hope you all like him. His evolution can be seen here:
If you would like to peep the 3d mesh under Alexanders skin, you can do that here:
Thanks again for your great support!

Well his spell definitely worked on me ... O_O The magic, the smile, the body ... /drool.
Amazing work on the lighting, FX, muscle and skin tones and the hair! I'd love to see more! ... *cough* xD
P.S: is that Elvish I can see within the FX? The script seems reminiscent of Tolkien =]

amazing
the character is lovely and the textures and the magic spell are great, i initially thought i was added after the render and not in it.
i think he could work in Dante's Cove hehe

Thanks again for the great support over the time of Alexanders evolution. He would not be that realistic without the support of the great DA people and you...
