Cygnar Sword Knight
Polycount: 6455 tris.
Textures: 2 1024x1024, Color, Specular, Normal, Reflection.
Software: Maya, Zbrush and Photoshop.
All images are printscreens from the Maya viewport, taken at 8xFSAA, 16xAniso.
The concept is from the Warmachine board game. Only useable reference I could find was a concept picture at the warmachine homepage since the miniture models didnt have much detail. This is my very first try at normalmaps. When I first started modeling this one I never had in mind to normalmap it, and that made the process harder later during the highpoly modeling, but I learned alot and hope to do a better model next time.

Miniature Model
This is a 360 turn animation in QT, 40mb. Viewport in maya frappsed, no post-processing.

I cant show you a whole highpoly model since I did them in parts, like first the head, then baked the normalmapp, then the hands, and so on. Most of it is done by photoshops normalmap filter anyway. Sry

Great job!
Is this normal mapping method documented elsewhere? I'd love to do some reading on it.
i especially love the shield reflection map... or at least thats what i think is making it look like polished metal?
real awesome texturing work with the cracks etc. on the shoulder pad too....
sweet work all around
Ooops, nevermind I checked out your site, awesome..
the color of the blade feels a little too uniform to the color of the armor, but meh, its still rad
