Hello Polycount!

I am the Lead Character Artist on Glass Egg Character Portfolio Project.

This is the first game character that I built with my amazing team at Glass Egg Digital Media. I am responsible for the head, arms, lighting, rendering, and overall look of the character.

Nguyen Ngoc Bao did the concept. 

Lân Ngô did all the hard surface parts. 

HuAnh Vu did the body armor and bags. 

Dương Nguyễn Minh Thuận did the pants, knee pads, gloves, and waist belts. 

Nguyen Anh Duy did the boots, bags, and tattoos.

Real-time rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 3.

    Wow, teamwork makes the dream work. Good work by all means, but I won't lie, I'm more impressed that so many of you could work together and make the result this... consistent. It doesn't look like it was made by so many people, and that's a good thing.

    I'd actually like to learn more about your workflow as a team. Did only one person work on it at a time, from start until they were finished? If not, how did you make sure all the pieces would fit together? I'm a noob so sorry if this is utterly obvious to everyone else.

    @Jakub & @CybranM: Thank you!

    @Metemer: I'm glad someone has finally pointed this out. We are building a character team from the ground, so the first thing we wanted to learn is "how to work as a team", and this is the reason why we put many artists to work on one character. The result must have a cohesive look, and not look like many different artists are involved.

    The NDA does not allow me to tell you about our pipeline but I would say there was no secret. It was a team effort, and I'm really proud of my team :blush:.  We did have a lot of "Art check" to make sure all the pieces fit together from sculpting to texturing.

    Congrats to all involved! Would like to ask if  the materials you have in the marmoset scene will be further optimized when porting it to unreal?
    Or the unreal version of this one would have the same setup and number of unique materials? I'm also intrigued if he has body mesh inside? or the hands and head are cut off and are "stitched" as one air tight mesh? And if the former would be better for future rigging and skinning?
    Again congrats on this guys!

    @rafregidor: Thank you! Since this is just a portfolio project, we are not planning to port this character into Unreal. Marmoset Toolbag 3 is our choice for now.

    No, he does not have body mesh inside. We removed all the parts that we don't see on the viewport to reduce polycount and for better skinning.

    Thanks a lot for the clarification. Looking forward to all upcoming characters your awesome team will make. Cheers!

    @Sunray: The eyebrows are on texture, they are not real geometries.

    Dude he looks so awesome. Have you thought about trying to put out a female equivalent to show some variation in troops. Also, it would probably please the ladies to see a female representation of a military figure.

    Regardless, this is some gorgeous looking work.

    Beautiful work. I had the impression that the forearm is a bit bloob but it may just be my impression.  :D
    Can you tell us a bit about how the skin details were made?
