5,422 tris, 2048 color, mono chrome specular, 2048 normal
I don't get to do any detailed projects for work, so I took some time to practice sculpting, texturing, normal mapping, and some advanced character rigging, well advanced for me that is.

Wow, this looks great! You going to animate him?

Amazing texture! Can you elaborate a bit how is it done? All hand painted or photo texture?

Mark Dygert

That's 6 kinds of awesome with a side of kick ass.

Hey buddy, how did you get on my polycounts? TIME FOR BAN.

I think maybe the fine details could come through a little better, like a little stronger, tho that may just be the lighting, looks like you dont have any sort of ambient speculars.

Edit: Actually no, that helps push the scale of him, so never mind that.

i found some particularly usefull PS plug-ins from http://www.flamingpear.com/goodies.html
theres one that i'm not sure is listed on the site but comes with the freebies, called viens, that helped get a lot of the micro detail for the plates and such.
ALSO and i'v been meaing to tell quake about this one, but theres a "solidify" tool that does the equvalent to xNormal Dialation, bleading, MUCH quicker, smother, and all the way to the edges if you want

and if anyone wants the mb file with rig, to animate him, i can email it to you
