Thanks mate for looking into that. I'll send you the obj in a minute.
I am completely blown away by the results of this latest update. Spent half day going around the light and sss settings, displacement, etc etc... just tweaking him and the result........... is stunning in comparison to the very first image I posted here. His eyes are awesome and I'm wondering who was the Tutor for that eyes modeling/setting tutorial at the training area here in simplymaya. hehehe. Thanks Jay, your instructions were/are very helpful. Really awesome mate!
Here's an update. The skin is not the best in the world, but for an noob like me, this is as good as it can be.
I'm working on the piece that goes around his head. Hopefully can show something later.
Hey Dave,I would delete the shader and re assigne a new shader then assigne texture again............dave
Thanks mate, took your suggestion and re-did it again.
Cheers.

I really love modeling in Maya, specially when you have all the tools most used in the Custom tab.
Baby feeding time!

Ive got your scene here just tweaking now. The biggest prob is the displacement map. Its 8 bit....bit of a no no. Some people will say 8bit dis maps work great -no they dont...16 bit are generally considered crap because of scale issues, so how an 8 bit one is good I'll never know...so stick with a higher bit depth...if your system can handle 32 bit even better!!
16 bit is okay but because it doesnt have a general scene scale you have to tweak alpha gain and offset to achieve as near as damn it to what was sculpted in Zbrush originally. 32 bit doesnt require this. So I cant really do much with that map you have provided. Not to worry, I'll play with the bump and sss and see what happens
In the render settings too, if you are deciding to use a normal map, make sure Maya Derivatives is ticked under the options tab or they wont work properly either.
Your work has improved tenfold on this last image. A backlight will help set it off even more
Cheers

I can resend the whole scene if you want so you can see what I did. Nothing special. I just changed the color of the diffuse map to a greener color.
anyway just color maps and a bump.

Thanks mate for the great tips. I will definitely gen a 32 bit map next time, or even later Tonight.
I'm going to try to add a back-light and see how that will turn out. That would be awesome if you could send the file to cgisoul {{{{{ at }}}}} gmail {{{ dot }}} com
Man, I really appreciated your time in looking into that. Really learning tons here!
About Batman... I didn't buy the game yet, is really that good?
Waiting for Mass Effect 3 to come out in March.

After looking at it the whole afternoon, I'm in need of some fresh eyes.
Jay, thanks for showing that mate, added a backlight with bluish color and a rim yellowish light.
The one before this one still looks CG, which I'm very happy with. However, I'm trying to make it look as realistic as I can.
Any CC is welcome, cheers everyone.

Attached the lighting setup.
The result of the last image is from PS color adjustments (Exposure and Curve).

Hi Dave,I think I still like the one before Jay posted it could be to much light, have you tried turning the back light down a little...........dave
Thanks for your crits mate. I'll try to have just two lights then. Still waiting for the Man (Jay) to send over his testings so I can sneak peak over his shoulder and see what he has done.
I'm posting just a play around with the base suit mesh (with no sculpting or whatsoever yet). I might just scrap the headphones or whatever you call that alien thing on his head.
Roger out, over.
