Steam-Punk Scientist

CodeFather

Hi guys,

This is a beauty shot of a low-poly character that I did for a small inhouse project which aim was to test out unity engine.

Concept, high-poly, low-poly and render by: me
Textures by: Ivelin Trifonov (10x mate! )

Crits and comments are welcome

well hell yeah! lol I would say you tested it pretty nicely. As time goes on the better and better stuff seems to look out of unity. Been really interested in trying it myself to be honest.

Would love some breakdowns on it! Wires. Materials. Textures. Anything really! :P

Nice work!

Thats the best thing Ive seen rendered in Unity! Dayuuum!

Sweet stuff Glad to see you posting stuff here. Keep it comin!

Whoa! That render is actually rendered in Unity??? How?

Hey guys, glad you like it. Sorry if I mislead you, but this is not rendered in unity, I've used 3dsmax for the render, it is just a presentation shot for that character. The model is the same we used in-game for our unity project, but it doesn't look like this real time. I'll make a short video for the actual game ,soon, so stay tuned.

Jeremiah_bigley , I'll post a breakdown soon

Fomori

Thought so. Nice model and textures though!

Looks really good for the most part. The only areas that need improvement IMO would be the shoulder pads. They don't read very well. Looks like bad compression artifacts or something. Probably just too low pixel density, but It's blurry.

As for the concept, It's a nice looking character, but I think it misses the mark for a steam punk scientist. The only thing that reads as scientist would be his physique and the fact that he's wearing glasses. And the only steam punk hints would be the colour and intricate designs for the fabric on his vest. But there's no watches hanging from it .

His glasses should be a gadget used in his sciencing of things... he should have one arm that is all robotic and stuff...

The gadgets look like toys too.

But like I said, i like it for the most part, I think it needs some improvements in the concept department. But the execution is great for the most part.

Good job guys

nfrrtycmplx , thanks for the feedback and you are right about the things you've pointed out.

About the robotic arm, actually the thing next to him on the left side of the image is designed as an attachment for his backpack. Here is a quick shot, but it is missing two more "fingers":



But , yeah, a more fancy googles and some watches would suit him nicely:)

Cheers!
