WIP - JTF2 Soldier

ReviloRezlab

Greetings Polycount,

My name is Oliver. This is my first post on polycount.

Little info about myself: I am currently taking a program for Game Art and Design at Vanarts. I will be seeking to get a job in the video game industry for characters after I finish my demo reel. This is one of two characters I need to complete before the end of August.

I will be displaying my progress here to get criticism and feedback from the community to help steer me in the right direction. I look forward to your responses and feedback, and I would also like to note that I am glad to join the community.

*I do apologize for the first long post*

Tear Sheets (Reference)





Proxy Mesh:
*Some of this modeling will be retopologized after the high res is finished in Zbrush*






This is a rough block in of the equipment and base mesh. Quick proportions check. I know some of the normals are reversed and geometry is crashing. I will be fixing that this evening.



Thank-You for your time.

that is looking good but if you going to be in the gaming biz then you dont need all of those tirs try deleting some edges
i like what your going for keep it up and hope to see some texture soon

joshA: Thank-you, Yes some of the items are quite high poly. Most of them are being used as proxy for silhouettes and details. Easier to model them in Maya than it is to sculpt it in Zbrush. Anything High Poly will be retopologized after I'm done sculpting.

Update: Here is base mesh first pass sculpt. I'm still in Low Sub Div. (Under 500k) So no micro details. Trying to nail proportions, scale and anatomy.

I know I'm thinking far ahead but I think for the camo you should should choose a nice multicam texture. Because the refrence camo's you have look like camo from the gulf war.

@Orangeknight, As excellent of camouflage Marpat is, it's US marine issued. The look i'm going for is Canadian Military.

The texture im definetly going with is



I can understand the confusion in my tear sheets since their is multiple camouflages. sorry about that.

Nice going man, really detailed models
I would suggest checking out some hard surface modeling techniques, since in the long run you're going to have to make things look good while smoothed. And for this you need really close control of edge flow and whatnot. From that you can make some pretty damn sweet looking guns

But yeah, good work. Make a few more heads, go back and forth between zbrush and Maya to find a happy equilibrium between sculpting and modeling. Your anatomy model looks great, but there are always ways to get better. keep going!

Weekly Update: Rough First Pass(1/3)
Getting everything scaled and in there. Some Items are still missing. I got some work to do on the arms and a lot of work to do on the wrinkles on everything. I'm changing the helmet for Gallet 3000 to a PASGT Helmet. Better helps the silhouette. I'm open to all suggestions and feedback!

Sweet fisherman you've got there, keep up the good work.

This is amazing ! I love your fisherman ! I'm guessing he carries the fish on his back

Are you going to be sculpting scratches and stuff on the pieces ? That would look amazing. Maybe some fish scales stuck to him. lol

Don't stay up too late

Killer looking fisherman so far! I like what you've done with the silhouette

I read this as JTF2, thinking, Junior TF2, I thought I was going to see a young TF2 soldier

Still looks awesome!

Hoping within the next week, I'm done the high res phase. Jump into retopo and UV's.

Feel free to tear this apart if you spot things I can change for the better.

Long overdue update:
