The Gnomon Workshop – Recreating a Historical Portrait in 3D

使用 Maya、ZBrush、Substance Painter、XGen、Marvelous Designer 和 Arnold 重现了阿肯那顿国王的历史 3D 肖像。角色和生物艺术家 Mahmoud Salah 带领艺术家们踏上探索之旅，首先扫描了一尊古代雕像，然后将现代人体头部扫描图像投射到古代雕像上，以重塑这位历史人物。

在 ZBrush 中定义好雕塑和面部细节后，Mahmoud 使用 Substance Painter 仔细对齐并增强皮肤纹理。他指导如何使用 Arnold 进行外观开发，以及如何利用备受推崇的皮肤着色器，并深入讲解了逼真的 CG 眼睛的眼部设置和渲染工作流程。

头发修饰部分使用 Maya 中的 XGen 进行处理，通过超逼真的眉毛、睫毛和胡茬，将艺术作品的真实感提升到一个新的高度。为了装饰这个角色，在工作坊的最后阶段，Mahmoud 为国王制作了关键配饰，并演示了他为头饰和装饰领建模和纹理的工作流程，以展现角色的全部魅力。

本次工作坊的目标是教授艺术家在 3D 世界中重建和重塑任何历史人物所需的技能。

Recreate a historical 3D portrait of King Akhenaten using Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, XGen, Marvelous Designer and Arnold. Mahmoud Salah, character and creature artist, takes artists on a journey of discovery, starting with a scan of an ancient statue together with a modern-day human head scan that he projects onto the ancient statue to help reimagine the historical figure.

With the sculpt and facial details defined in ZBrush, Mahmoud uses Substance Painter to carefully align and enhance the skin texture. He instructs how to use Arnold for the look development process and how to leverage the esteemed Skin Shader, and dives deep into the eye setup and rendering workflow for realistic CG eyes.

The hair grooming is handled using XGen in Maya to help push the realism of the artwork to the next level with hyper-realistic brows, lashes, and stubble. To adorn the character, in the final stage of the workshop, Mahmoud creates key accessories for the King, demonstrating his workflow for modeling and texturing a headdress and ornamental collar to display the character in its full glory.

The goal of this workshop is to teach the skills artists need to reconstruct and reimagine any historical character in 3D.
