[Over Watch Fan Art ] D.va - Handpainted + PBR UE4

phungdinhdung

Hi Everyone!  
I am starting to work on my D.va Overwatch fanart. I am planning this to be a handpained texture character and bring her into UE4 for rendering. I will keep update the progress here. hope I could receive some input from you guys, I am trying to find a balance between handpainted look and next-gen PBR look.
Any C&C are precious and welcome !  

Update ! : 
Here 's the final works XD , thank you everyone for your inputs ! Breakdown comming soon!

first one is my base meshes , I reuse this one from time to time , but each time I improve the topology and shape / anatomy a little bit . 
I adjusted her face to look a bit like D.va

cool start! boobs are a little big and armpits looks wrong to me somehow. Otherwise the silhouette is kinda cartoony which I like and will works well for that kind of project I think! Also the head looks a bit small and the feet a bit too big maybe?

Thank you very much for your input ! yeah you are right ! I am kind of buggy about these points but not sure of the direction to fix it as I have looked at this model for too long , but yeah your comment are accurate ! will fix it in next stage

some more updates, more detail model of face and bust. I have adjusted her proportion a little bit overall, smaller feet and chest. modeling the hair was fun tho .
All pure Maya modeling , havent done anything in Zbrush just yet. C&C are welcome !

more update comming soon  

I am working on Hi-poly version of D.va . seem like I cant stand the way of manually break down High poly model into ID and group to do baking, so I decided to dedicate my whole Saturday to write this little script to break down objects of Hi-poly model that correspondence to the lowpoly one then export them base on Material ID and automatically offset these groups to prevent intersect baking. 
Still need to find a way to hook this script with Xnormal to do automatic linking. .
I will polish this little guy some more then one day he will be ready for commercial lol .
btw, What 's your most frustrated problems when working with baking Low/High Poly ? XD I might able to integrate some functions to address these problems when release this one .

update ! 
very draft texture of the body and face so far . I use baked Ao and object Normal Map with ID color to create the rough base color.

Update !  
More detail version of the body texture and hair . any C&C are more than welcome !

Still working on shader & lighting in UE4 .Trying to find a balance look between handpaint texture and BPR, gotta looking into better shaders.

You are really nailing it!

lotet

Looks great! love the last shot, I dont think your overdoing the PBR effects at all.

Blade113

nice job so far

Bal

She looks great so far, those UE4 shots are nice.
What did you use to model the hair in Maya? Very clean results.

phungdinhdung

@Finalhart : Thanks XD ! 
@lotet : Thanks ! I think I am getting a hold of PBR shader & handpaint somehow.
@Blade113: Thank you ! 
@Bal: Thanks man , the hair is just straight plain NURB & polygon modeling in Maya . I will do some break down after this . 

and 

FINISHED !!!!  
3 weekends and Breakdown comming soon ! 
btw, anybody has any suggestion for next heroin fanart  ?

Any reason why you're using both specular and metalness textures?  What's the reasoning behind it?

Tectonic

I think you're doing great with the texturing and her face looks great. But I think your proportions are quite different from her original character.

phungdinhdung

@kohg : yeah I am still experimenting with it , not sure If I really should use Specular with metalness in stylized handpainted, but seem like I can use Specular to control the strength of area that doesnt have much metaless to achieve a specific look I like.  but any recommendation ?  
@Tectonic : haha, yes I am deviating a bit from her original body typ . Actually it's just my prefered personal taste  :P .

Millia Rage from Guilty Gear!

Turned out great, looking forward to see the breakdown! Specially for the hair 
Is the baking script done in Maya? Let us know when you are finishing with it! Looks super useful
