Reference Board:

Project Shots Week 1:

Here is what I have so far for week 1, I'm satisfied with the results and I'm looking forward to pushing this further!

Here is how it is matching up with my reference so far, I was lucky and found someone that attempted a similar project and have been using that as my main pose and face reference.

Here is how the side view looks so far for matching the reference.

And here is the project matching the scale of the Unreal Mannequin.

Module 3 week 4 Decals

Did some decal stuff!

 

Week 3 Environment Art Techniques Vertex Blending

 

This week is about learning vertex blending I ended up reusing the tiling textures I made from the first module as well as making a new third variation with some brown mud caking the cracks, all three are currently being blended above.

Here is the detail pass to show some more of the sculpt work.

Here is my material set up in Unreal for the vertex painting. 

Environment Art Techniques Week 2

For this week we learned how to do trim sheets! I chose to play it safe this go around with what I made since this is something I don't have too much experience with!

Here is a detail pass showing more of the normal bake.

Here is a Base Color Pass render showing some color info.

Here is a shot of the sculpt from Zbrush as well!
