Fatboi Zbrush character

Rhoutermans

Hi all, this is my first serious attempt at zbrush character modelling. I've learned a lot of zTools over the last couple days and I'm liking zbrush more and more. Also I'll keep this thread updated! Any feedback is appreciated. The awesome concept is by James McDonald. At this point I'm only focussing on the big guy, not the robot





Thanks for taking a look!

Funny Dude

I think you should give him bigger hands like on the concept.
I am excited about updates, keep it up :thumbup:

Rhoutermans

Thanks Fixed the small hands and worked on the legs. Planning a detail pass for tomorrow

Rhoutermans

Ready for a birst low poly to bake a test :

Rhoutermans

Just a colorpass on the low poly model..Losing a lot of normal detail because of the crappy material but yea ..:)

Brian "Panda" Choi

Already looks like a toy,:D

Rhoutermans

Agreed! Gonna 3d print and paint this one for sure )

Kamezis

I love it

Roxxor

Pretty faithful interpretation! If you are happy with the character, you should do the mech as well!

Brian "Panda" Choi

I have a feeling his head should be smaller on the model, compared to the concept. Just to accent his size.

Rhoutermans

Thanks for the feedback! I'll check out the head scaling issue

Painting the details..head/helm and neck done...need to touch up the rest a bit more and fix a decent material for the guy.

Rhoutermans

Working on UE material...still got some work to do

Rhoutermans

Just playing with the lighting...will rescale his head 2nite and start working on the rig!

Rhoutermans

Fixed the metalness of the material...looks better now, gonna pose him tomorrow and polish some final details...





Thanks for taking a look

Heather.Hughes

Love the design direction. First thing that's popping out at me though is the obvious seams on the inside of the arms.

Otherwise, looks great! Keep going!

Rhoutermans

Thanks Heather
I can't seem to figure that seam out tho...in 3d coat there's no seam..well there was but I painted/fixed it in 3d coat...The seam is not in diffuse/ao..not sure what's going on yet.

Spoon

Flipped normal?

Rhoutermans

Worked it out
Rigged him and put him in a pose or two, which one do you prefer? Or maybe an idea for a new pose Almost done and ready for a new project!

Final sculpt:

For some reason, the static, hands down, post works better, though do you have another angle on the bent knee?

Francois_K

In all honesty I'm not feeling it. The specularity feels way too even across the character and the knee up pose makes him look like he's injured ( imo at least. )

And I wouldn't screengrab straight out of zbrush and put it on your website.

Just my 2 cents.

Rhoutermans

Thanks for the feedback, been trying some other materials and rendering, also sticking with the more regular stance:

Tenebris

Have you thought about making the character's weapon like in the concept art? I think posing him with it would be really sweet. Love what you have regardless though.
