On the higher level, I started to add details on other layers. The system of layers is really revolutionary. You can now manage multiple layers of detail individually. You can make different tests directly onto the same model and afterwards decide which one you want to keep.

For the details sculpting such as the wrinkles, I used the scratch brush with the first fall-off (Shortcut “0”) and a low intensity. After that I added another pass with the bulge brush to add some volume around the wrinkles. For the skin pores I used some alpha stamp with the stroke option activated and after that I added some manual retouching to add some randomness.

Rendering

When I arrived at a point where I'm satisfied with the model, I exported it in Zbrush 3.1 to properly render the final geometry. Here are a few tips to follow for the lighting setup: Under Light > Shadows, set Length to 200, Rays to about 150 and Aperture around 50. Go to the Render menu, turn shadows on and click best to calculate a render. About the material, I chose here to use a bronze material created by Ralf Stumpf. At last, to save your render, go to Document > Export.
