Lost Adventurer
polycounter lvl 2
Hey everybody!
Here's my latest real time character. It is heavily inspired by all the awesome people at Naughty Dog and Uncharted 4 E3 trailer. She stands at 80k tris, all the accessories included. Substance Designer was used quite a bit, starting as a test, but eventually turning into something I'll be using every time from now on.
The gun was created mostly using Dynamesh in ZBrush. Never used it for something like it, usually I would just model a weapon in 3ds MAX, but it worked out quite alright and the whole thing took me only three days, including texturing.
All the textures are done in Mari with a pinch of Photoshop on top.
Hope you like it!

I love that the turnable tells a story and the sweat on her face looks great!
The whole piece is so awesome and gritty!
but I would say her wound is to clean, judging by the pose she is in i would expect her to be more banged and bloodied up and her wound to look a bit more nasty and bloodier
but those are my only crits bc this does look awesome!
I think the eyes are a tad too large and the face sweat is a bit too extreme for the close-up. The shader needs self-shading to prevent highlights in the nostrils and molar area inside the mouth from lighting with the same intensity as the nose tip.
The body is just incredible. Very nice work.
@Cglewis: You're probably right about the wound. Will keep that in mind next time I make something similar. Thanks!
@killnpc: I didn't even notice that glow in the nostrils until you pointed it out. Was looking at her for way too long. I'm pretty sure it's the secondary reflection in Marmoset that is causing it. The proper shader is done in Maya, to implement detail maps like stitching, fabric patterns and all that fancy stuff. Don't remember seeing this glow there, but I'll definitely take a look now. Thanks for the feedback!
can you please explain more how you implemented substance designer with mari for the texturing process?
did you create tileable materials in SD to use in mari? or just for normal maps? would love to hear more! :]

There are five different hair planes/unique textures on the model. The key in texturing was breaking the hair in different layers: one clump of hair - layer 1, another clump - layer 2 and so on. Each piece had three to five layers that I then turned into individual groups. This way I could start detailing each hair strand/layer (it's probably getting a bit confusing at this point) without worrying that I'll get the detail on other layers. It works as a mask basically. This allowed me to have control over color (each layer is unique), specular and the intensity of normal map that was generated in Knald.
In a nut shell: it's a whole lot of hand painting without any shortcuts...
