Process of Aging Hands

tannerhanss

This is a project that I've been working on for the past week or so. The guidelines were to take a model you have already created and to create a "new" and an "old" version. The project was to mostly focus working in the material editor and lighting settings in UDK. I choose my hand model and decided to mess around with SSS in udk. So here is my first attempt at the model sheets. Any crits welcomed and appreciated! Thanks

all of em looks somehow blobby...first 2 are way too saturated and way too contrasty....and last one is way too desaturated

here are the materials

@Paul68Rageous Thanks, a lot of my classmates and similar feelings about the saturation. I was trying to extenuation the difference between the ages but I may have pushed it a little too far. and for the blobbyness? (sp?) I'm going to go back into my normal map and tighten them up

Even though you mentioned its part of the project guidelines to make an existing model old or new, I would recommend working on just a normal hand first, trying to get it looking as realistic looking as you can - that alone can prove quite challenging. Trying to create an aged hand with wrinkles, details, etc. will just make it that much harder to do.

You probably already know this but 3DSK have some awesome reference for hands, definitely check them out!
