well here I am starting my new fan art, lets call it guyver project, because it based on comic called Biobooster armor guyver

I will use this exercise to learn some new thing like hard surface modeling in zbrush. etc. so bear with me if i made inefficient steps




and here the progress :



and slightly different angle

I havent extracted the torso , hand and leg part, thats why it still in soft mode

its not always practical but this will be the main focus of the exercise , mesh extracting and polishing into hard surface


my overal proportion still mostly off , so i hestitant to post it here ...
oh whatever I ll post it anyway

as you can see the more i extracted mesh the bigger it became , and it kill some original proportion. but its ok, I ll work on it .


too bad I ll go to vacation in next 3-4 weeks , but i ll continue afterward for sure

Its looking pretty nice so far. My critique would be to make sure you really define where edges meet. Right now you are like 80% of the way to having some clean looking armor. I know the guyver has some very organic feeling armor but try and flatten out some of the really rounded parts, I can notice it the most around his shoulder area. Other than that nice work, keep it up.

xvampire

thanks for the feedback, yeah, I did sharpen it, only to turn it unto even more organic again

hi guys, its been a while , I haven't posted any updates, still working on it

here my skipped updates

marmoset test, got optimized too much


- bit messed up with the proportion.

RickStefani

Very cool!

*and here is my latest render
fixed some minor proportion



starting the detail progress ...


testing out some extreme light condition


its getting somewhere , however,
im still trying to push it even more to look like live action prosthetic instead of action figure

i really want to aim this kind of look/feel. I know it doesnt look like just yet,
my computer became slow with tons of subtools and subdivision. >.<


probably I have to bake it to low res and bring it to 3dpackage instead of keeping all part in zbrush? how do you guys deal with project that has many subtools?

Ged

this is looking great, just work on your specular and colour variation some more and Im sure it will be closer to the posters style. Also the depth of field probably makes it feel a bit like an action figure.

my current guyver marmoset shot, currently baking the arm texture in lowpoly.

and the whole body update :


I replaced the texture order with physical based texture.



I use skin shader to smooth out shadow without changing the light parameter



to do list :

- fix leg proportion relative to whole body ( especially shoulder )
- rebake some of my zbrush sculp.

xvampire

hi, I added new guy, for this neverending wip , zoalord Pugstall wip ...
the design is still trying to be faithful to the original, probably I will tweak it what doesnt work later on

xvampire

ah I forgot to post the render version on this thread ( click the grey bar to see the original size)

as for the main guy ( guyver ) I manage to upload it on sketch fab,
sure it doesnt have real time shadow, but i think sketchfab did a good job implementing PBR on browser.
