[WIP] Villanators-Mecha Malory

splicer · Jun 2018

Starting a new thread which is to focus on my 3D pipeline on my original character, Mecha Malory, aka 'Servo Vixen'. Part of a larger universe.

So I have had an idea for her for a few years, I finally finished her and entered her into last year's Art War 2017 on Cubebrush.co.

Here is my concept:

Then I took Genesis V1, and sculpted out the curves in Zbrush. I also blocked in the basic shapes of the armor and cloth padding.

After this, I decimated her and used that low poly crude mesh as a reference to start blocking out hard surface in Maya. I usually do edge loops in various places and on more tricky bits which prove difficult in Zbrush.

I then take those pieces and subdivided them.

Then it is pretty much 100% Zbrush hard surface, if I need to go back into Maya I do, but for now I have not.

The latest update, lower belt is 98% done, rear module needs a bit more work.

Small update, finishing boots. Also making some custom alphas to detail out the puffy suit material. Most micro details will be in Painter.

It doesnt look like her headset would stay on her head, feels like it would fall off by her just looking down.

@CybranM appreciate the feedback. I see what you're saying. My idea was to have it clamping tightly on the sides as well as the top of her head, also it does not weigh much. Maybe if I make it pressed tighter against her head and hair it will read firmly attached to her?

I am open to suggestion! Thank you for the input!

Looking at my concept close, and I can see my proportions are off in ratio to the size of her head piece to her head, specifically the space of her eyes are the width of the piece itself. I have made adjustments, as well as modified the joints on the head supports to be smaller.
