League of Legends art dump

CataFa

Hi guys,

we've been working with the guys at Riot on some skins for League of Legends and since a few have been released we decided to start this thread to share them with the community. We'll keep updating the thread when more will become available, so here we go:

Haunted Maokai





Oktoberfest Gragas





Headmistress Fiora

Maybe your hosting doesn't allow hotlinking, 'cause the images don't show up for me with the image tag or when following a link. Only when you directly paste it into the adress bar.

Nice work. LoL character art is always impressive.

Neither post is showing images for me.

EDIT: Nevermind, opening the links in the second post doesn't work, but you just have to add http:// to it.

CataFa

Everything should be fixed now Sorry for the problems. Cheers guys.

Wow! These are awesome. Love the sculpts.

switz

Fantastic work; the colors on Maoki are super!

KennyTies

Really awesome sculpts congrats!

Brian "Panda" Choi

@CataFa: I'm kind of confused as how the sculpt integrates into the final game asset? If there are no normal maps, are the sculpt just used to bake an AO map onto the low-poly Retopo game model?

I'm trying to figure out the process with this project: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106169
and I'm wracking my head over 1. how to do hardsurface sculpts effectively, and 2. how to integrate the sculpt into a final low poly game asset if there are no normal maps involved.

MattiaNelli

Awesome work as usual guys!

JO420

Outstanding work, really love the final result!

There's a lot more you can do than just and AO bake, you can also bake a cavity map, and edge highlights. Dota2 also uses different bakes to add texture detail

Focus of medium sized details, don't worry about doing mircodetails that wont show up in game anyway. Try to avoid making the sculpt look blobby and try to keep clean edges that are just soft enough to bake well.

CataFa

hey guys, thanks a lot from all the team. We're really happy you liked the models

@JadeEyePanda: as ZacD said you can use the high poly sculpt to generate several useful maps. AO is of course one of those but we are also using cavity map and bent normal to add some lighting and emphasize the details. I would take a look at the document that ZacD posted because it's a good starting point.
