Hey,

after I finishes the main volumes of the character, I used Zremesh as a base to see how the bake would look like and I used it also to test a few material ideas. 
  

Hi,
I love the the DOOM artstyles especially the demons are my favorites and  so I'm working on a remake of the Doom 3 Hellknight.

Here are a few shots of my test renderings, I jump a lot between Zbrush and Keyshot during my process.

I was doodle around with a few shapes and came out with a demon design build of IMM brushes as rough base and a detail pass for the refinement.

Update time ...

I grabbed my concept and made an initial sculpt of the head to get a better feeling for the overall shapes.
I sculpted a neutral and a jaw open posed version to see how the mood would change and if I can be as close as possible to my concept design.

Furthermore I made a light chart to test the values under different conditions. 

 Overall I'm very happy with my results, the next step will be the blockout of the body.

Hey everyone,
a new big project is about to start, yayyyyyy!

a few weeks ago I was playing around with ideas for a new long term project and then I came up with a forest scene and a lot of mushrooms.
Well not really a lot of those thingys but more a group of mimik creatures who lives in the woods and mimik real mushrooms until something passes nearby and the fairies starting to attack and eat their prey.

I want to test my abilities to make nice looking sequenzes within Unreal with animations, sound etc.
I saw a lot of awesome looking short film projects on artstation and I want to make this too!!  

I already love the shapes and can't wait to dive into the initial sculpting.

Here are a few concept pieces I did for the character so far:
Value sketch and measurement ...

To break up the overall scene I tend to make slightly different sizes ...

Colour variation test, currently I can't make a decision between lower left and right  ...

Hey,

I updated my PC setup and I'm working on a render setup within Blender to make realistic shots of my upcomming sculpting projects.
Soo I grabed my Orc bust and played around with Cycles. I would love to switch to Evee but the missing Global Illumination is still a thing ...  to create rally grounded renderings.
The render was in Full hd with CPU+ GPU and took me around a minute of render time which is a huge jump compared to my old system.
Now I'm reducing my idle times and can be more productive instead of waiting, looking outisde the window and cry :D :D

Anyways ... I like it so far but I will tweak it further until I'm happy with my setup.


Thanks for reading,
Cheers

Hey,

I textured the limbs and made a few more tweak of the overall values. For example I toned down the golden parts to fit better to the darker and warmer skin tone.  Also I tested the character inside the example paragon level.


Testing the portrait shot

First impression inside the Paragon level

Today I started working on the skin, testing colours, bump details etc ..... my pc starts crying because of the amount of layers and folders ^^

Also I imported a new version into a fresh unreal project to test my texture values. I also used the eyes I made a few month ago but I'm not soo happy with the design, maybe I will jump back to eyes without any iris like a plane colour with a colour gradient or I will use a round iris and pupil instead.

Here are a few screengrabs from unreal  :)  

Hey ho,

it's texturing time!

All bakes came out really smooth with just a tiny amount of corrections in really small areas. I started to layout the overall colour shemes and materials for the pieces and I'm very happy watching how every piece come together.

Here are a few images of the current status of her clothes.

Hey ho,
currently I'm working on the retopo of my character, I looking for unnesecarry polygons and build shapes that follows the folds better to support the normal map on top but doesn't look to flat from the 3/4 view.

The head is a tricky one, because I'm working with a mouth open head for the bake, I have to use a mouth closed blendshape which means I have to prepare later a retopo head with the same vertex Ids and topoligy to be able to project the pose.

Anyway, here a a few screen grabs from the retopo version

 During the retopo of every single piece I made test bakes to see if the current shapes works without baking and normal map issues.
Here are images of my latest test head bake.
