[UE5] DOOM Hell Priest Realtime Fan Art Finished

Jesse Irvin

Excited to share this with the polycount community. This piece has been visualized in UE5 with lumen as support fr lighting along with some nanite used with megascans content to build the backdrop for the mars scenes I'll be posting later. I learned a lot dealing with the shading and am certainly feeling more adventurous now that I have a better understanding. My previous work only wet my appetite. 

The model is built and detailed in Zbrush along with the hard surface. Some may was used to clean retopo some of the hard surface along with zmodeler and zremesher. The Game rez was built in Maya.

The texturing and baking was done in Substance 3D Painter where I took advantage of anchors, generators and tiling maps to build up my material layers.

I'll post more images in a follow up reply soon but you can see more at full rez on my artstation at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/QreOG8 as well as some work in progress in the links there. The original concept was from DOOM eternal and done by Alex Palma

This is fantastic, great finish and surfacing to the materials. Nice!

Flawless work! Totally faithful to the design as well (pun intended)

Thanks so much for the response. glad you like it!
Here are a few more images, These are the "Mars" shots. I used megascans and nanite to put the environment together as a simple set for the showcase of the model here.

Looks fantastic, have you thought about/experimented with using Nanite for rigid parts of a character model? 

Jesse Irvin

Thanks Zac, I have definitely considered it. I opted not to in this instance since I only rigged this model to pose and left the skeleton in maya  since it wasn't going to be used after that. It also would have made my retopo/ game rezzing more complicated since the high poly meshes were booleaned and so I couldn't UV them without building a new mesh. Perhaps I could consider something quick like zremesher as an option to get a mesh that could be UV'd though I also would need to get the model into substance which may have forced me to work in pieces instead of the udim centric Virtual Textures approach I ended up with. That said I'd be curious to see what performance improvements might be gained just moving the low poly hard surface pieces to nanite... An interesting thought for sure
