Realistic 3D Portraits with ZBrush and KeyShot

“We have reached the end of this journey through 3D modeling, now it's your turn! Follow these basic steps to complete your project. I invite you not to just copy my example, but to experiment and invent something new. First, create your moodboard by collecting images both for the character concept and as a reference for modeling the various parts of the body.

Then do the blocking. Work on the basic model using the images you have previously collected in the moodboard as a reference. At this point, define the shapes of the portrait and give character to the character. Before moving on to work on the details, remember to check the topology, it is a fundamental step! Now you can add details and refine the model, giving realism through symmetry breaking. Now it works the skin and sets wrinkles and imperfections. Then move on to the grooming phase. Remember to take the symmetry off when styling the hair details to make the hairstyle more realistic. When you have completed the work on ZBrush, export the model to KeyShot and render it. Now postproduce the portrait in Photoshop to give the work a finishing touch. Share your project on the forum! Show everyone both the final result and the processing steps, documenting each step with an image and describing what you did with a brief explanation. If possible, I will be happy to comment on your work. Watch colleagues' projects and encourage them by commenting on what they have shared - don't miss the precious opportunity to interact with the creative community. Thanks again for making this journey with me!”
