[WIP] Clicker - 3D character fanart

svi_graphics

Hi, my name is Sergi Viladesau, I'm a student at Animum 3D and I'm doing this character as a school project. I will be posting all my progress here so you can give me feedback if you want. The idea is to collect all the progress I do here so I can take a look later. Also you can follow me on Artstation (https://www.artstation.com/svi_designs). I plan to do this character as my main porfolio piece, so I can get rid of all I have right now.

The character is a concept by Hyoung Nam, from the game The Last of Us. The final 3D character will be for VFX/Films and not for games

Before starting with Zbrush I did some research on Pinterest so I have enough references to start.



The process I will follow:

• Base mesh
• Basic anatomy
• Basic props
• Final anatomy
• Final Props
• Retopology
• High frequency details
• UVs
• Textures
• Final render

Some of the process can change in the future and I can go back at any moment If I think so.

As I said I started with the base mesh. I did it in maya and then exported it to Zbrush, from there I did some changes to it so it could feed more to the character and I started sculpting.



As you can see I did a cut in the middle of the character, this is so I can run Zbrush faster. I did the cut in a place that will be hidden by the clothes.

From this I did the basic anatomy.:


At this stage I started thinking about the head. I didn't know If I would have enough geometry to do all the shapes it has. I did some trial and error and i ended up with a solution. I did the infected part using dynamesh and then tryed to hide the seam line.




At this stage I decided to do the clothes, just to have something to use as a starting point. For this I used marvelous designer.




This is all i have right now. The next thing is to start refining the anatomy, which i will be doing next week.

Ty!! I will be posting every week as it is a school project. I did this the first week as a test, next week I will start with the body anatomy.

Hi all, I've been working on the body anatomy. I focused on doing just the anatomy so the infected details have a good base to work with. The next step will be the face and then I will sculpt all the infected details.

Hi all, this time I started some detail and also worked on the face. The detail is so the cloth simulation in marvelous respects the volumes. i will redo all the clothes and rip them next week. I will be sculpting by hand the super fine details before having the clothes.

Hi people!! I've been working on the clothes. This is an update but I'm still working on them.

I've been working a lot on the character and this is what I have so far

I've been working on the retopology for the character. The character is for VFX so the density is a lot higger than in videogames

I've been doing the UVs for the clicker. Remember the character is for VFX so I don't have to care that much for the cuts.

As I'm going to render with keyshot I can't separate things in UDIMs where their seam is visible, or the cut will be visible in the render. For example I can't create a UDIM for the head because the seam on the neck is visible.
