Uchiha Cassandra - Comicon 2015

X³²Lapis

Hey ya guys/gal

I thought I made a thread for my comicon piece this year but maybe I got it confused with last years one.

Anyway I'm glad I finished it although I had to rush parts of it. In the process of doing a turntable render. In the meantime I'll post up some images.

sorry if some of the images are really big.










Only have the Albedo and Normals showing here I used the Metallic Roughness work flow. Probably could've used half the amount of textures but I wanted the extra detail for when the cloak, and gi etc come off.









sorry for all the images

Rendered out a turntable. Watch on youtube for 1080p

I loved this, probably because i was a fan of Naruto myself.

Maybe it was a matter of personal taste, but her eyebrow could use a lot more thickness IMO.
On the highpoy sculpt she looks fine, but the final one looks a bit too thin tbh, almost couldn't see it in the presentation shot.

Thanks Jimmy, haha Naruto FTW. Thanks for the feedback yeah looking back at it I think it probably needs to be twice as big, maybe density can be the same but just needs to cover more area.

thanks again appreciate the feedback

I know this is Comicon with unlimited budget, but how often does a character's hair get nice big texture sheet to itself ? (game industry wise)

When making portfolio pieces, I'm not sure if I should just use loads of texture sheets (4 x 4k sheets or something) to make it look good or not.

@Pyr - In my experience we have almost always use a separate texture for hairs. Especially in games where character customization is a thing.

If you are making your folio for games... so long as your UV sheets are efficient I suppose 4k is fine. Keep in mind 4k is still a rarity in games these days (to my knowledge) you need the object being displayed to take up the full screen of a 4k monitor to even see that texture size, mipmapping will munge it down much smaller than that in 99% of cases.

@X³²Lapis - Great work, your topology is lovely. Makes me feel lazy as hell for never finishing :P

Pryzern: I'm not very experienced myself with making game models. But from some of the research I've done finding some Character Models online etc. I tend to see hair get it's own hair sheet, with a lot of overlapping UV at varying points of the hair to give a different look.

jstyles3d: Thanks, looking bad I really could've taken a lot of excess polys out, but I was getting close to the deadline. Still planning to animate her, but I've been saying that for a while now.
