Claire (Realtime bust)

erroldynamic

Hi everyone, I'd like to share a piece that I recently finished. I did it to practice pretty much everything (faces, skin, hair, pbr, etc.) I would definitely approach the hair in a cleaner/more efficient way next time as I learned that it can get pretty nuts tweaking and adding cards. But I learned a great deal and am ready for something new haha. Thanks for looking. I used 3 4k maps - head, hair, clothes. Toolbag3, Maya, Zbrush, 3DCoat, Substance Painter, Photoshop.

I"m learning hair right now, and I love it when I see someone tackle it as well as you did. Great work!

Fantastic Work! I would love to know how you created her hair, did you begin with a sculpted cap and then lay the cards on top? or did you just use alpha cards only?

Mateus

Very nice! 
Wondering how did you get to this face? I mean, it's forms looks very unique to me. Just references or was it your own choices during the process that led to these forms?

Outstanding work Errol! Really dig this piece

artofmars

This came out great! Did you create most of your cards in maya or did you create them in another program and do tweaking in maya.

@TeriyakiStyle - agreed!

Fantastic job @erroldynamic! Like everyone's said, the hair turned out beautifully, but personally the eyes are what draw me in

MMm how many polygons are in this? idk if it really looks very "realtime"
at least not anything that would work in a modern console or pc title.

Although the specs are getting really high lately. I'd guess if the face was a little more optimized
and something was done about the hair it'd work.

Amazing work!

@Tomiajayi: You are mistaken. Drake from uncharted 4 (ps4) has a much higher polycount:

Awesome job Errol!

 @TeriyakiStyle - Thanks! I had a different lighting setup that I was settling on but it wasn't until I just started playing around that I found something that I really liked. I was being too meticulous at first and got tired of it so I just stuck with one setup. It was pretty nerve racking haha, so I don't think I wanna do anything else at the moment. 
@Nikolas3D - Thanks!
@pmiller001, @Denzil_forde, @artofmars - Thanks guys! I basically used Tom Parker's method by just drawing out the cards in ZBrush, and I used fibermesh for the texture maps. In hindsight, it might have been a good idea to have some sort of shell/cap as I ended up going nuts on adding cards to get a sense of volume. Definitely a lot of duplicating and tweaking in Maya.
@Mateus - Thank you! I found an interesting face of a model in which I used as my main reference: http://avantproduction.ru/models/anya-podolko/
@adrxzero - Thanks a lot man!
@MDyermaker - Thanks, I am glad you dig the eyes
@Tomiajayi - I took liberties in modeling out certain things like the zipper pieces and chain, still keeping them as low as possible so that it would make sense in a game engine of today's standards. The hair cards is where I may have went a bit overboard, and I could have optimized in areas. But for a portfolio piece and to take a break from worrying so much about specs I decided to do whatevs and try to make a nice 'folio piece.
@brurpo - Thanks man!
@Alemja - Thank you Alex!

Nice:)

Fantastic work! I'm really liking all the details on her clothes and the texturing is stellar!

looks great! Good job, keep up the good work man

WOW! is that a real mesh from the game? The lips seem unnecessary. But I suppose they're trying to get the more lifelike performance they can get. Still..   wow!    I guess his model could make it into a ps4 pro or PC game afterall.

Yap, it's high as f*#@. I'm not sure anymore, but I believe that's the ingame model for the cinematics or something like that. Then it LODing out to a smaller polycount but remains pretty high nonetheless. NG are pushing those hardware specs to the limit every time.
Also Check out the meshes that they have in The Order too. (would have linked something but can't manage to find the  source.)


@erroldynamic she look absolutely gorgeous.

Wow great work !

She looks great! And the polycount isn't that terrible considering, Civ had a pretty dense count for a lot of the characters as well.  It really comes down what youre doing with the character.  The choke hold on most graphics cards aren't in polys its in draw calls and shader complexity.

If anything, maybe you have the Subsurface scattering turned down too much.  I mean she's great so take this with a grain of salt, but I like a fleshy feel.  Nice work.
