Student Character Project - Knight WIP

Comet Lord Set

This is my first time making a thread on here. I'm just posting my work so far on my studio project this term. I'm trying to make a large knight character and eventually make it into a game model.

I'm pretty new to ZBrush so this entire project is a learning curve and I cannot thank my instructors enough for their help. I will be updating this thread as my project progresses!

Any CC is welcomed and if you want to see any of my other work I'll post 2 links.

I would flatten the extrusion on the top of the boot, give it a less rounded shape on the knee. You could use the hpolish brush for that. Coming along nicely!

Yeah, I definitely will be Hpolishing that. Thanks!

Oct.28/14 Update: Working on higher level details. Added details to the armour, sculpted the cloth parts. Added some plates and scale mail!
I guess I'll be starting the retop soon.

This is really nice! Very cool style.

I'm calling this project done. I rebuilt it in Maya, textured/created materials in Quixel Suite and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 2. First time using Quixel and Toolbag, so this was a crazy learning experience for me.

Wait you made a highpoly and didnt bake the armor down at places ? Thats very strange man, something went wrong there. Can you show your normal map ?

You should also spend some more time on texturing, its very basic materials, and the drapes use a lot of polys

the highpoly looks pretty good

Design critique, the right arm is not going to have a really good range of motion. Looks cool, just doesn't allow for much bending given the metal thickness.

Solid concept overall though.

Sorta feel the textures on the metal could use more dusty splotches on the Gloss Map so we can break up the reflections.

You have some weird seam and shading issues (your normal map seems to be shading from the opposite direction on one side...), and as mentioned your materials seem just a bit basic.

It's not really doing your High Poly justice. I think you could easily spend just a bit more time with this and have something nice.
