Sculpting Practice 01

 

Quick practice, this is from a month or so ago but I wanted to archive it somewhere. 

Sculpting practice for male torso.

Final Project Week 4

 

Week 3 Module 4 Final Project

For this week I went ahead got everything in a pretty finished state for industry review on Thursday! 

I pushed through and went through retopology and making the UVs. 

I made it to the texturing stage and did quite a bit of lookdev work going back and forth between Unreal and Substance Painter to make a cohesive look! I also used my previous knowledge of Xgen to create a groom for the character and it came out pretty well! 

Overall the project really ended up coming to life and I feel like I've put my own spin on this concept and I'm excited to do some final renders and composition for final presentation!

Here is a WireFrame Pass I'm hoping for the final presentation to be able to color code the wireframes with the UVs to have a professional clean look for my portfolio! My overall tri count sits at 39k tris!

Here is a detail lighting pass in Engine!

Here is my Sculpt pass from Zbrush!

And here is a rough draft of how I'll possibly be laying out and color coding the UVs to coordinate with the wireframe pass!

 

Module 4 Week 2 Final Project

 

For this week I have been focusing on tertiary detailing and have started the retopo process for the Low Poly.

Here is a closeup of the face.

Here is a close up of the face without the mask.

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.
