Amy - Game Character

richithekiller · Jul 2011

Hello!

This is a character I've been working on for a while. I posted some wip pics in the WAYWO thread a while ago, but I think I'm finally calling it finished.

I had been spending a lot if time at work on wii assets, so I wanted to make a game character with a ~20k poly budget, some big textures and nice shaders

All of the textured images are taken straight from the maya viewport using the hardware renderer.

I used Leo Covarrubias' lcSkinShader and lcUberShader for the shading: http://blog.leocov.com/ Thanks Leo!

nice! really nice fabric material on the coat.

TheD3vilHimself · Jul 2011

Saw your work over at CGHub.com, it's an amazing looking model.

MainManiac · Jul 2011

nice legs

coat needs more shadow on skin

Dylan Brady · Jul 2011

just awesome.
is the texture photosourced or hand painted?
It looks so good.

LRoy · Jul 2011

That diffuse is nuts

Barbarian · Jul 2011

Nice! I like it. I agree that some subtle shadow delineating the coat edge from the skin of the legs in particular would really cap it off, but good job nevertheless.

Other than Maya, what software did you use?

Saman · Jul 2011

I love those textures. Really good work on everything!

Vailias · Jul 2011

Her face looks so much better unlit. Very nice texturing, but the lighting seems to really hurt the work.

imijatov · Jul 2011

Everything looks incredible; Bravo on a job well done! If I were to nit-pick, the leg and head skin texture lighting/contrast doesn't match. This is especially noticeable when the the character isn't lit/flat shaded on. However, that might have been intentional. Awesome job, again.

P442 · Jul 2011

i would probably change the color of her shoes since its too close to flesh tone, but no other crits. Awesome job!

Jeremy Tabor · Jul 2011

Those sharps folds in the fabric are great! Nice job with this

Quack! · Jul 2011

Very natural relaxed pose to the face. Great job. I love how she isn't overdone and looks very real. Good stuff.

afisher · Jul 2011

Awesome work. Really nice sculpting on the clothing.

butt_sahib · Jul 2011

Excellent character. Kickass model textures and presentation.

Absolutely looooove it

disanski · Jul 2011

Woow

looking very good. Love those textures.

skullsplitter · Jul 2011

I love the feel she has, the texture and shader look georgeous :9

JGcount · Jul 2011

This is so close to perfection. Great sense of life in her eyes

Skibur · Jul 2011

Very nice.

Tenchi · Jul 2011

Awesome! Especially the jacket, it's stunning ^^,

Oniram · Jul 2011

for whatever reason i read "Army - Game Character" and opened this thread up and though "she'd get killed instantly." but anyway. spectacular job! the diffuse looks awesome. the shader looks really nice as well. seems like you can still play with lighting a bit more to make the model pop. in some areas it seems like the diffuse looks better than the lit one (only on the jacket really). but still, flat-out amazing. reminds me of Ashley Judd from Double Jeopardy a bit

RAWTalent · Jul 2011

Beautiful in every sense of the word.

StrongRum · Jul 2011

Really nice sculpting on the cloth folds. Awesome work!

conte · Jul 2011

masterful work.
so damn neat.

tda · Jul 2011

Really nice stuff. The only thing i'd say (as frell mentioned) is the lack of any kind of shadowing from the coat to the skin. Just a touch of ambient shadow bleed around the areas on the neck where the coat meets skin and a bit of cast shadow around the thighs would help ground it to the body a lot. Right now to me it kinda looks like it's been comped over the body in photoshop from a different render.

thomasp · Jul 2011

lovely work richard.

beautiful legs and coat, nice pose. the hair shades a bit grey tho and could do with a bit more 'fluffyness' in my opinion. it looks quite solid right now.

n88tr · Jul 2011

she needs a gun

marq4porsche · Jul 2011

Great model, she looks very realistic. But I agree with what others have said about the shadows. Maybe add a subtle AO pass?

crazyfool · Jul 2011

looks amazing rich

super job!!!!!

StefanH · Jul 2011

splendid work. The very best I have seen in ages. For my what I noticed most is how dark her skintone is around her neck and generally some inconsistency in skintones. But thats just nitpickin really

richithekiller · Jul 2011

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I can always trust this forum for an honest critique

I hadn't actually noticed the difference in skin tone or lack of shadow on the legs until you guys pointed it out, so its great to have a fresh set of eyes looking at it.

Bonebrew22: the skin textures are mostly a 3dsk concoction; everything else is baked from the sculpt, and painted a bit.
Barbarian: Zbrush, photoshop, xnormal, nex for maya

seth. · Jul 2011

beautiful stuff, particularly the fabric sculpting.

Neox · Jul 2011

the cloth is simply one of the best ingame cloth models i've ever seen, stunning work

Generalvivi · Jul 2011

Wow! really great cloth!

Oiban · Jul 2011

Just insane! Awesome job with the coat, the sculpt looks just perfect!

daphz · Jul 2011

This is beautiful.

Roepetoepa · Jul 2011

man the folding is insane
Really like this one

Maph · Jul 2011

I can only repeat with what has been said so far! The clothwork is simply outstanding although I think the lower pockets seem somewhat "pasted on". In the sense that they lack volume.

Gorgeous work otherwise!

gauss · Jul 2011

Still one of my favorite pieces in recent memory posted on pc. a light touch realizing a simple concept very very well

kevlar jens · Jul 2011

Oh man this is just beautiful!

leslievdb · Jul 2011

a nice combination of a superb model with good textures and good shading.
Very well executed piece

RAWTalent · Jul 2011

Are you planning to rig her?

adam · Jul 2011

the fabric on this is really well done. Good work!

d1ver · Jul 2011

You know, when you start evaluating a character as a beautiful human being, rather than a masterfully executed game model - that's when you you know you've got some of the most amazing character art on your hands. And this is just the case - she is beautiful and uncanny valley can slap my ass and call me Charlie.
Good job, richithekiller.

My only complaint is that you really played it safe with clothing and colors. What a person wears tells about the character almost as much as his face. And in that regard your character lacks character.

EmAr · Jul 2011

Oh, so beautiful curves! I think the back of lower legs in the sculpt could use 10 minutes more of work. I see some minor points I'd smooth out a little. However, those points don't show up in the textured/lighted in-game model so maybe you've already fixed those in the textures?

r_fletch_r · Jul 2011

Totally Stunning work.

POFFINGTON · Jul 2011

I have been waiting to see the finished result of this model for a while now and you know what...you didn't disappoint. A+!

EVIL · Jul 2011

Super sweet model! with an amazing Texture, but the lighting hurts the model. The hair has this pure white specular in it that looks really dull, and the lighting on the face destroys the texture.

Also casting shadows on the model would make it look much better I think

MeintevdS · Jul 2011

Lovely model and awesome job on the fabric and folds. I do however miss the shadows.

Something that "bothers" (lacking a better word) me about the coat is that the folds and model of the coat make it read a bit like a raincoat? And I'd expect it to be more glossy/plastic, but at the moment it reads like normal fabric.
But this might be just me

JoseConseco · Jul 2011

That is very well done sculpt.

yeah i second that ... this is one of my favorite sculpts i´ve seen ever :thumbup: ...but i also would love to see the coat with a bit more glossy/plastic material...since the first wip post it remind me on the plastic transparent raincoat from bladerunner here i would love to see a transparent version like this here or here...fantastic work!!!
