Archbishop - WIP 15 - Battle of the Bakers

Sculpture vs ZBrush vs Substance Painter vs Marmoset Toolbag 3

Soooo, I decided to compare my three options for baking normal maps. ZBrush's has some wobbly thing going on. Substance's and Marmoset's a really similar, but Substance had some trouble with the projection because you can notice a lot of artifacts. I really prefer Marmoset's result. Really clean. Now I won't hesitate on which one to use.

Archbishop - WIP 14 - Mouth

Soooo, after a lot of tweaking in Marmoset (=___=) I think I'm done with the teeth... Maybe. For now... At least until I make it smile. Next, the collar!
(Also added two stages of cataracts to some eyes)

Archbishop - WIP 13 - Marmoset Toolbag

So, this isn't Arnold in Maya... This didn't take 2 hours to render. I just made the switch to Marmoset yesterday and it took about 1h30 to set up for the first time. HDRI, Global Illumination, Sub Surface Scattering, Local reflections, refraction in the eyes, 8k maps, all in real-time; my mind is blown.
