Download, please! I love this so much!

[mariempepin]

what do you use to smooth?

The original shift key?

[ThePseudonymouse]

I am downloading it..

[GrizzlyThorn]

Awesome.. how many times did you subdivide this? or did you sculpt in HD?

[spacetimesparx]

Nitiri's Mom!

[Christomb]

How to do the lashes ?

[MejshX]

I almost wish you would have elongated the face a bit. It seems a bit crammed together.

[bonecrusherz98]

now make the whole bodie

[Hermoor]

Textures :)

[wlman303]

[MarciahL]

[overhemd3000]

@MarciahL

[justaspectator01]

@MarciahL your timelaps is too fast!

[justaspectator01]

perfect though!

[danpat]

@wlman303 did you ever try out blender?

[wlman303]

@danpat tried it once or twice. but i haven't gotten a real chance to get the full feel for it so my wrok in it was embarrassingly bad at best..

[danpat]

@wlman303 same here, I'm still trying to learn it, funny, I get down in graffiti in photoshop, but, can't seem to grasp a few commands in blender. Good luck to you!

[bouchandre]

@wlman303 go on academicsuperstore(dot)com. If you are a student, you can have a lower price

[overhemd3000]

@wlman303

search on torrent :)

[Quikie93]

@wlman303 3ds max isnt bad, not in any aspect, however if you are into sculpting i dont see why you bought max...

also, Zbrush and 3ds max walks hand in hand^^

[zubingala1]

@wlman303 cough cough torrent cough cough XD

[wlman303]

[Nati0us]

fucking awsome mate!

[silverblade604]

oh ok, cool!!

[MarciahL]

@J801506 I did at one point retopologise to get better density in the mesh. So I could animate it if I added uvs and rendered out the normalmap.. :)

[Pop77o7]

wow

[du6167]

How did you manage to smooth out everything like that? I'm still new to Zbrush.. was it with the regular smooth tool?

[MarciahL]

@du6167 I used a stronger smoothing brush.. called Smooth Stronger .. youll find it under brushes

[patodelpiero01]

mmm I think her/his neck is too long

[MarciahL]

@patodelpiero01 I agree :)

[lebello]

@MarciahL i dont think so man their avatars!! lannnnky

[Nati0us]

@patodelpiero01 can you do better?

[patodelpiero01]

@Nati0us no, not realy I don´t know about this program

[Sociopathics]

@patodelpiero01 Actually, the Na'vi's necks are super long. Neytiri's is even longer than this.

[achillesian]

giver her some ney-titties

[silverblade604]

how did you make the hair?

[MarciahL]

@silverblade604 i made splines in max and added the braids onto those..

[frozenlicks]

pls reply...what kind of brush did you used?...and how long did you take to make dis wonderful artwork of yours Good?...

[MarciahL]

@frozenlicks I used clay tubes. Prob took 3 - 4 hours, cant really remember, its been a while...

[rabieart]

@frozenlicks i think he used clay buildup brush

[TheLovemeorgo]

this looks like grandma

[killingceaser]

nice job thst looked like a long time

[FuckFakePpl]

U're good,, but it's kinda scary XD

[PhilipWitte]

Excellent sculpt! 5stars thanks for posting.

[AllAroundBang]

I don't know how you guys do it. Every time I try to sculpt something, I always end up stretching the polygons and it looks like crap. I really need to watch some tutorials... :(

[GetTheGr33n]

the face is not flat enough at 3:29 it sticks out rly far and makes the forehead look too bulky. the face has to be longer aswell (making it more elegant) .... enough of the criticism, still looks astonishing great work!!

[Maikkeru]

how did you do the hair.? Make a video for that.

[eukbos]

every time i get mad at blender (the 3d software i use) i see one of these videos and i realise how beatiful this area is

[catalinabird]

WOW you can see if you can get it made in plastic and paint it- you could have one in you house!

[MarciahL]

@catalinabird maybe I should have this or The crow printed in 3d :P

[tyrone70]

Good job! My only critique would be that her head looks small.

[invincibleanand]

awesome wrk budy..but it luks lik old Neytiri...

[Hellmaster12]

Would love to get step by step lesson on how to do that stuff since i am still new to zbrush i wanted to make myself a na'vi but its harder then i thought.

[MarciahL]

@Hellmaster12 it demands a lot of study of human anatomy and sculpting techniques. Its not something you can just pick up and do without studying like all artists do. I could do a step by step tutorial if necessary? Ill just use the same movie, and talk while Im sculpting about what Im doing. Will that help?

[hazzard]

@MarciahL yes it will lol

[Sparta09876]

@MarciahL A lot ...

[LavensKraw]

@MarciahL

Mmm. Yes do. Please.

[u3190]

Have you finished this model or are you going to render it?

[MarciahL]

@u3190 Im not going to render it for now, I havent thouched it in a while. Im currently working on other things like rendering with mental ray and lightning of bigger scenes.

[smallc28]

@MarciahL i know what u mean lighning is the most important part samething im doing...u made avatar i made iconman lol good stuff

[MarciahL]

@smallc28 Hey dude. Im not quite sure what you mean by Iconman, but please do tell? :)

[smallc28]

@MarciahL ironman sorry xD

[mraor666]

yeah great job Neytiri

[lostowna]

GOOD JOB!

awesome *_*

[RezAnub]

neyteri only has one ear that is gauged

[TheBananaAss]

So freaking awsome!

[Doit16SF]

Neytiri :)

[whitescape]

awesome job man!

[UnrealAnimation3D]

oh and whats the polycount

[MarciahL]

579 000.. sub division 6

[UnrealAnimation3D]

hey could you tell me song in the beginning

[MarciahL]

james horner - becoming one of the people, its the same song trough the whole movie.

[UnrealAnimation3D]

@MarciahL

ah didnt know but

add me D: please

[RinoXX]

Nice Work.. but the Nose is not flat enough.

[UnrealAnimation3D]

@RinoXX

well its not uppose to be flat at all the bridge is more downward so still its great so please make sure you get your facts straight about perfection

its not flat so hes still great at sculpting her

[lordminyard47]

That looks hard as hell , nice job :)

[manabusama]

I like it, it looks really good, I just think you made the ears too large. They're thinner at the tips, and more narrow. Also, her neck is too masculine. For the rest, great job :)

I'm trying to make a na'vi myself, using Mudbox. Maybe I should give zbrush a try

[MarciahL]

I totally agree with you on the ears and neck.. I did however the sculpt before I saw the movie.. So I noticed the mistakes I did when I was sitting in the Cinema in Oslo.. :P

[WDW92]

omg.. i wanna be able to do that! : O <3<3 awesome

[und9g]

AWSOME :)

[ThexiiShadowiix]

i would say they look more like blood elves

[UnrealAnimation3D]

and marciah may i add that....this is a beautiful na'vi id like to see more from you

[MarciahL]

dont worry.. there will be more movies.. but not of the Avatar.. maybe Ill continue on it one day.

[AlexKuetFam]

they look little like night Elfs :D ,so excellent work amazing video =]

[u3190]

How did you make the dreadlocks? Ive made my sister her own avatar but its bald.

[MarciahL]

I made them in 3d studio max with some modelling, duplicating and splines. mostly path deforming.

[UnrealAnimation3D]

GOD MAN! THE HAIR ON THE NAVIS IN THE MOVIE ARNT DREADLOCKS! THERE BRAIDS! GET IT RIGHT! U3190! JESUS! dreads and braided hair is different and obviously each represent different things please observe MORE!

[u3190]

So first you tell me to not make a navi because its copying, and now your telling me copy it the right way. srsly go outside.

[UnrealAnimation3D]

no i just want you to make one that looks good yours isnt cool like marciahL

[MarciahL]

UnrealAnimation3d : It doesnt matter if he said dreadlocks or braids. Its nothing to get upset about..

and to be honest, I think u3190 made a more accurate version of a Na'vi than I did..

I hadnt seen the movie when I made this one, and I could tell did I did some big mistakes.

My opinion is that u3190 is doing a great job working on his na'vi's.. I saw his Zbrush thread, I thought it was very good.

[u3190]

Why thank you. But your better at sculpting. Plus I cant be bothered figuring out how to make hair.

[GamesByOurselves]

im loving that MatCap, where did you get it?

[MarciahL]

what matcap are you talking about.. The first one I use is a matcap that comes with zbrush called matcap grey.. the more brownish one is called "matAerniturntable01". The last one in the turntable is called matcap white cavity and it comes with zbrush... hope this helps..

[3Drives]

thanks for the info :)

[MarciahL]

any time. :)

[3Drives]

great work!!! how many subdivisin did u used?

post a video with the textures also :)

[MarciahL]

I used 6 sub divisions.. Then I did a retopo to get better mesh on areas like he eyes and the ears.. then I went up to division 6 again and started detailing and smoothing out the clay. I cut the retopo prosess out of the video.. didnt feel it was important, and it would confuse people who are not familiar with zbrush.
