Hi everyone.

After a few months of discouragement, I decided it was time to go back to a project I started almost a year ago for which I published a couple of pictures.
I dusted off the scene, upgraded some of its aspect with octane 2.0 and started redoing all the shaders, implementing the final models and so on.

There is so much more work to be done so I thought that posting pictures of my progress as I go would motivate me to keep going. I will try to post as many snapshots and closeups as I can.

This is going to be an interesting road to follow. I already know I will not be able to fit the whole scene at once in my VRAM.

First conversion to OCTANE 2.0, Skin shader not working so great.

Added proper sand in the little pot and reworked its shader.

More to come soon.

Very cool ... and I somehow recognize this picture *grin* Skin looks somewhat zombified to me, though .. more dead than alive.

Yup, I agree. I was really not happy with it so I've redone it. I'll post it soon.

ElBloko,
I'd like to sign the 'fan sheet'. A bit more red undertone in the hands perhaps?

Beautiful work. So glad you're picking up this one again.

Best,
Seeker

New Shader for the hands. Much happier with that look.
Note that there are bones and muscles under the skin. Well, at least a simple fac simile of it.

And a close up on the owner of the old wrinkled hands. My next point of focus. Still a lot more work to be done on him.

Great job,

Skin still feels a little cold to me. But excellent work.

Nearly there on the skin. It looks a bit like it's shedding though so maybe the scattering scale is slightly off in the top skin layer?
