3D Artist Recreated Elton John with ZBrush, Mari & Maya

Hadi Karimi showcased a new brilliant work.

3D Artist and Digital Sculptor Hadi Karimi, renowned for his stunning realistic portraits, has showcased a new amazing artwork depicting the music legend Elton John.

The artist recreated a memorable image of the singer, achieving incredible likeness. With exceptional graphic fidelity, Hadi Karimi depicted lifelike skin, hair, and eyes, capturing the singer's facial expression and emotions.

The creator described his workflow, sharing that the sculpting was completed in ZBrush, and VFace from TexturingXYZ was used for Albedo and Displacement Maps, which were then cleaned and edited in Mari. The hair was groomed with XGen core, and the final rendering was completed with Arnold GPU.

Before, Hadi Karimi delighted the audience with highly realistic portraits of Liv Tyler's Arwen, Tom Hardy, Marylin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and more:
