Hi everyone,

I recently had a chance to work on a small commission with a very small budget for a book cover about OpenBSD. I was given a lot of freedom.
Everything done in Mudbox, Maya and Octane stand alone. There's plenty that could be improved on but for a job that took me a bit less than 10 hours altogether... I will leave it as is! It was fun.

Awesome, and the fact that it's for OpenBSD scores a lot of points in my book

cheers,
Thomas

That's pretty sweet for less than 10 hours!

Funny image. Well done !

Thank you! It was really fun to do. Worms and fish both made from simple spheres in a super short time. Most of the work went into the lighting. It's really pleasant to be able to iterate with that amount of fluidity. I simply can't live without Octane anymore. The one and only thing I miss in there is a composition grid. Or even just an option to import an image overlay so users could use their own construction layouts for instance. That would be so helpful. Please hear my desperate plea!

And I'm back to the grind. Good day to you all.

Ha! Man I love it! What a great cover, very nice!!!!

Hi Elbloko,

great image and all done in such a short time.

Can you expand at all on your workflow, in particular the mudbox to maya and Octane.

I'm having trouble with displacements from mudbox, in to maya, so would be very interested in how you approach this.

cheers,

Steve

Funny atmosphere for a very great cover.
