Description
Gnomon Troll - 3D Render--------------------------------
Complex 3D Light and Render-Setup in Maxon Cinema4D R12 using HDRI, Image-based-lighting, Global Illumination and Anbient Occlusion.
Copyright of the troll model and the troll base texture belongs to Jonas Thornqvist jonas.cgsociety.org/gallery and the grnomon workshop.
I used a Poser building for the environment and improved some details like the column on the right side. Caused by the base 3d mesh in 3ds max all texture shaders had to be redone.
project backgrounds here: www.mike-reiss.com/3d/troll.phβ¦
Improved Texture shaders using c4d-multilayer and procedural shaders. Improved eye texture and reflection. Improved metal shader for the weapon. Improved skin shader for the trolls skin. Optimized and subdivided 3D mesh. Thanks to Jonas Thornqvist for this great 3d modell!

Utterly fantastic. Great lighting, excellent composition, fantastic posing - easily the best render of a troll I've ever seen! Now go make me some demons and werewolves. Chop, chop.

Great idea! I should keep that in mind for my further project planigs...

Oh, well then. If it's that easy, allow me to give you more details.

I already did some drafts and concepts for a werewolf and this avatar here: [link] ist not far away from a good deamon concept....

Any chance at seeing the drafts and concepts? You're right about the avatar, too! With some tweaking here and there, he'd make for a good demon.

I am working on a way to get as realistic as posible organic renders.
Human or non human skins and eyes are some of the hardest render tasks to do.
These projects show some of the good render steps: Alexander: [link] Fabiana: [link] and Raphael: [link]
There are some test renders for werewulfs on my harddisk. Have you seen the 3d mesh of an render yet: [link] and [link]

I can imagine the difficulty, and the sense of accomplishment you must feel when pulling it off. You do, in fact, do what you set out to do. There's a liveliness to the skins and eyes of your renders. And yeah, I've seen the 3D meshes. I've seen all your work.

I really like the sarpness in your render.. You did improve a lot to the scene and troll model.
Especially the arms and feet are done very well. Though i think you overdone the skin texture on his chest (overbumped i think) and perhaps too much reflection on the upper side of his body made him look like plastic or all oiled up..
All in all very good attention to detail. Keep it up my friend

Thank you very much.
I think I will do some small changes in some texture shaders.
I am quite happy with the overall rendering and light setup but I agree some shaders could be a little bit better...

Looks like it might be a real thing...but it's not

But this not a big problem. I already did an avatar render. See here: [link]

Danke JΓΌrgen. Mir ging es um einen realistischen Render.
Jonas Thornqvist's Render ist sehr sehr gut. Ich wollte sehen wie nah ich in Cinema4D an diese RenderqualitΓ€t ran komme...
π: 0 β©: 1
Na deine RenderqualitΓ€t is um einiges besser
habs mal versucht in Poser zu laden aber dann lΓ€d es die texturen ned
π: 0 β©: 1
Die Texturen kommen aus dem Export aus 3DSMAX nicht mit.
Die musst Du neu aufbauen...
