My first zbrush model rendered in maya. This is a private project. I wanted to give zBrush a try but i am not too much interested in the alien, dragon and monster thing you see a lot.

I used details reference pics i took in Beijing aquarium. All texture are painted in Photoshop, the lores model was done in maya.
See http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=43&t=446583&page=1 for details. I rendered in 2K resolution and several passes and put them together with Photoshop.

3DCreativemag (http://www.3dcreativemag.com/) selected the image to be published in ’10 of the best images from around the world’ in their May Issue. Very cool.
