[Finished] Waiting for Horse and Carriage - Realtime Character

RabidRabit

Happy to finally post some of the stuff I have been working on during my time under Georgian Avasilcutei's mentorship. Aside from working on anatomy and likeness sculpting I have been pushing forward on this realtime character project based on the concept by Kyoung Hwan Kim https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xz4ABm.

My major aim with this character was to fill as many gaps in my knowledge in regards to the AAA character pipeline as I could while refining and improving my already established workflows. The biggest "new" thing for me with this character specifically involved finally committing to using Marvelous Designer to create the base for all of my clothing, bags and fabrics. Some of the hard surface was blocked out in max before being polished in zbrush while other pieces were created exclusively in zbrush.

I still have a few weapons to create as well as some other minor details but wanted to play with some rendering so I could finally tease what I have been working on. Will be diving into retopology either today or tomorrow!

Still hoping to get back to Thor one of these days but been hard since Keos Masons already did a cool job with the same concept. Still no game ready version though so hmmmm....

Got more turntables for everybody. Managed to get the bakes into a decent spot for the main character. Time to switch back to finishing up all the props. Ended up goign with Rizom UV over max for the unwrapping, man that thing is a beast.

Finally got all the props baked. Need to tidy up some small things on the knight and I'll hopefully be into texturing today!

Excited to finally be posting this!!! Twas' a massive project for me in multiple dimensions. Luckily I had the honor of having Georgian Avasilcutei https://www.artstation.com/nimlot as guiding hand and mentor to keep me in fighting form over the last few months. Some of the major skills I picked up along the way included integrating Marvelous Designer, Topogun 3 and RizomUV into my pipeline as well as experimenting with many new techniques I was not previously familiar with.

Off to the next project!

Thanks so much! It was a bit daunting at first because it was a new techique but it was a ton of fun to do in the end
