Once I was satisfied with the overall proportions and sculpted features, such as the hooded eyes and mouth, I reprojected my Dynamesh onto a retopologized mesh with UVs. To ensure that the sculpture looked accurate from different angles, I brought it into Maya and tested it with various camera settings, as the camera settings in ZBrush can sometimes be confusing. Next, I added the eyes and other characteristic features of the face, without worrying too much about the likeness just yet. To begin, I started with a basic cube shape and used Dynamesh to sculpt the rough anatomy of a human face, with a focus on getting the proportions and anatomy correct. However, I persisted with this choice, as I felt that it made the sculpture more engaging and allowed me to gain a better understanding of how muscles and fat in the face move to convey an expression. I decided to sculpt him with a facial expression, which made things a lot harder for me, as there were not many different photos with the same facial expression. There are a lot of references/photos of him on the internet, so I collected several ones of the same age and preferably shot with the same camera, as the focal length can vary a lot.ĭue to the focal length issue, I tried to reference general anatomy as best as possible and sculpt significant features of his face. To complete this project, I decided to create Chris Hemsworth, as I really like his roles in movies and how he brings his own personality to his performances. The course includes a wealth of knowledge from his experience on how forms and colors can be used and combined to replicate a human character – in his course with a focus on the human head/face. It's this passion for my work that motivates me every day, driving me to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of 3D.Īlways with the aspiration to constantly improve myself and with the desire to learn new things, I attended the highly recommended Character Creation Course of Kris Costa. I have always been particularly fascinated by the art of creating realistic and accurate Characters and Creatures.

To me, 3D is a medium with infinite possibilities, where real-life physics and nature can be brought to life in breathtaking detail. This deep curiosity and passion for understanding the world around me led me to the world of 3D, where I found a perfect combination of my interests with also a passion for technology, problem-solving, and mathematics. I spent a lot of time observing my surroundings and trying to understand how things worked.

Over the course of my career, I've had the opportunity to work on some incredible projects, including Ant-Man 3: Quantumania, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Spiderman: No Way Home, just to name a few.Įver since I was young, I have been deeply curious about the natural world and everything around me. My name is Marius Pörsel, and I am an Asset Artist which includes Character/Creature, Hardsurface Assets as well as Environments.
