Woah, I thought the first image was a reference! That was the reaction of 80 Level when we saw the incredibly photorealistic 3D recreation of Charles Dance in his iconic role of Game of Thrones Tywin Lannister, showcased recently by a 3D Character Artist specializing in realistic portraits, Ivailo Ivanov.Described as the first work of mine that, to me, resembles some photorealism by Ivailo, the model was set up using Maya and ZBrush following the workflows outlined by another legendary Character Artist, efki Ibrahim, in his course on creating lifelike3D characters. Unlike all of the artists previous works, this digital version of Tywin was rendered in Arnold, making it Ivailos first finished portrait set up in Autodesks ray tracing renderer.I will come back to Unreal Engine eventually, but I feel like I need to explore more from Arnold and offline rendering as it provides me the opportunity to really focus on small details and train my eye going further, the creator explained.Interestingly, this project marks Ivailos second attempt at capturing Charles Dances likeness, with the first shared over four years ago. According to the artist, thats exactly why he chose Tywin for the latest portrait he wanted to revisit a familiar face to assess how much his artistic skills have improved over the years.
