Real Time Character| Yakuza Man

Finally sharing my latest personal project. A full character for use in a real time game engine, rendered in Unreal 4.

Sculpted in Zbrush with some parts hard surfaced modeled in 3DsMax. Textures in Substance Painter, including the skin. Tattoos hand painted and sourced off google, as well as utilizing MidJorney to generate some dragon tattoos.

You can check out more images and videos with the link below;

I have uploaded the source working files and the Unreal Project here if anyone is interested!

Hopefully it gives a bit more insight into my workflow and inspire and educate aspiring artists.

It looks awesome.

Can you tell me what is the texture size for skin (I mean 4k, 8k or something else)? In render it looks very realistic.

Thanks for the comment!
I used 4k maps, could have probably used 2kmaps and get very similar results.

A wireframe and a breakdown would be super. Nice stuff!

Like I sed, nice model! Looks pretty high poly. Doesn't look like it's optimized for animation deformation or real time use. Didn't see wire frames through the link you posted.

codyaq2

Yeah, I didnt actually post wireframe images on my artstation sorry.

Yeah it is very high poly, and some areas dont have good topology flow for animation. Will address on my next character.

This could be used for a high LOD cinematic version, you can see the latest MGS remake, the character model triangles are super high;

kanga

Ah ok. For me that is the fun of making a realtime model. Your hipoly doesn't matter, using it to make an optimized lowerpoly is where the fun is.
