I’ve been wanting to do some Brazil inspired 3d since I moved to Brazil a while back… so finally the last couple of weeks I’ve been spending my spare time working on this carnival Samba dancer. 3ds Max and Zbrush, and all rendered in Mental Ray. The outfit is somewhat based on an outfit worn by Natália Guimarães at the 2009 Rio carnival.
