Recreating a majestic bald eagle in 3D would be a challenge for many 3D artists. The eyes, beak, feathers, and talons need to be done just right to capture the spirit of this bird of prey.
Anatomically correct feathers, created with 3ds Max native instruments.
Dmytro Teslenko specializes in beautiful animal models, and you can follow along in this time-lapse video to see how he models and sculpts this feathered creature from start to finish. You can also check out the finished product on TurboSquid.
In part one, Dmytro constructs the anatomy of the bird using 3ds Max.
In part two, Dmytro adds realistic details to breathe life into the the model using ZBrush 4R7. You can practically feel the raised texture of the eagle’s feet and skin.
Dmytro is part of a team of artists known as “Missset”, and their TurboSquid collection is an animal lover’s paradise. You can follow Dmytro Teslenko’s personal portfolio, and also Missset’s collective work at their Behance and Facebook pages.
