Reallusion Character Design - Kobbart

Kobbart

Hello everyone, going to start to develop the character. 
Starting the pre-production process. Main theme would be combining the Mystic(shaman, sorcerer, wizard and etc.) and Rogue character type( mostly elements similar to Hellsing, long pistol). Character would be in Modern environment, art style would be maybe in fusion with realistic and game MMORPG art style.

Software i will use:
Zbrush
iClone Character Creator
3ds Max
Substance Painter
xNormal
Adobe Photoshop

At this time my pipeline would be.
*1. Use CC to make the base body
*2. Optimize the base body in Zbrush
*3. Extract Clothes and Segments in Zbrush
4. Individually develop main assets (pistol, mask, skull).
5. Develop and Pose high poly mesh.
6. Retopology
7. Bake and Paint.
8. Rigging
7. Animation

Sorted out with the images in polycount.

A little update of the development.
I used a little bit of the iClone software. As it seems it is very useful for character development. So i created a basic woman body.
My main plan was to make a body and then export the OBJ file to Zbrush.



In Zbrush i have made some tweaks with face and body.


Then started to extract all the dress pieces, to make all the main visual features of the character.

Made all the essential details. Still working on minor assets like skull, pistol, hair and etc

I have been working on the pistol. Finished the full production of the pistol.
Main reference was the Jackal from Hellsing anime.

Now i am working on the mask totem thingy on the shoulder. Main idea that this is a mask carved from wood, has ruby's on the eyes.
Started in Zbrush. Made the high poly version, retopology in 3d max.

Still need to bake the textures and paint it in Substance Painter.

Finished the totem piece. Beginning to make the skull, which is located on the belt.

Kobbart

Finished the Enchanted skull asset. Now working on the final high poly of the character.

Kobbart

Achieved my milestone. Highpoly is ready. Now i will make the retopology amd texturing. I think that would take me 3-4 days. Here are the renders.

Interesting Character. like the progress so far

Kobbart

I little update before the last stage. Finally finished the low poly, texturing and rigging, in final render i found a little issue with the hood material. Now i will spend time to animate her. I decided to render in Unreal Engine 4.

Made a couple animations in 3ds max, setting up proper APEX cloths and rigids, then exporting them to Unreal Engine 4. Setting up materials, scenery and animations in Unreal engine. Here a some renders.
