2D Proxy Pass 3D

This week I finished the High Res sculpt in Zbrush


I started to resurface the GameRes in Maya.

Creating an Environment Ideas

My idea for this is to borrow elements from Bloodborne (Game) and create a similar design and environment with he same mood and feel.


Created this mood board with all the elements that I want in the environment, including flowers, tree, some terrain and rock elements.

Creating A Medium Complexity Character Part 3 (Week 12)



High Res Sculpt in Zbrush


Low Res Wireframe in Maya


Substance Painter textured
Hat

OctoPirate


Then I exported the textures from Substance and imported it into UE4 where I built the Material instance for both. (Left: Hat/ Right: Octo)



This is the Final Result in UE4 after importing mesh, creating material instance.

2D Concepts Round 3 Final Color

For this week... I went ahead and started to model the high sculpt in Zbrush of the Cthulhu Statue. Using the previous week's concept as a reference.... this is the rough block out in zbrush. I under estimated how long it would take to do completely finish the sculpt.

3D Creating a Medium Complexity Character (Week 11)

This week I took my Zbrush High Res Sculpted model into Maya to create a low poly version by re-doing the typology on it using quad-draw.

The Hat (Accessory) poly came in at 1444, under the 1500 limit.


The Octo-Pirate came in at 2760 Poly, under the 3k limit.


Then I Proceeded with doing the UV's for the model.




Here are the results of the re-topology in Maya... Rendered out.


Here is a bigger version of one of the renders.


I also exported both the low and high res model for both the hat and the octo-pirate and baked the maps in Substance painter... this time everything went smoothly.
