The Mercenary - Realtime Game Character

This character was created during a mentorship with Patrick Yeung over at CGMA. Original concept was done by Jian Li (https://www.artstation.com/lijian)

Maya: Highpoly / lowpoly modeling - UV creation - Rigging - Hair Card Creation
Zbrush: Highpoly modeling
Marvelous Designer: Highpoly modeling
Substance Painter: Texturing
Marmoset Toolbag: Baking - Rendering


Character - 75k polys
Hair Cards (Hair, Eyebrows, Beard, Monster Hair): 40k polys

Skin texture was painted in substance painter starting from a rough blockin to painting in areas of freckles, petechiae, and overall discoloration.  

Left: Lowpoly featuring proper edge control to facilitate clean bakes - Color breakup representing the separate texture sets
Right: Overall texel density of model - Mirrored parts in red to save on texture space when possible

Textures sets for the body and accessories: All cloth elements were grouped as they received their own shader in Marmoset Toolbag. 

Goblin Boxer- Realtime Game Character

For this project I combined the early 1900's with fantasy. My primary goal was to tell the story of a Goblin whos fallen on hard times, turning to boxing as a way to stay afloat. From cloths that don't quite fit his growing belly to tattoos that match the abilities of the tech/artist at that time, all these details serve to tell the story of a goblin falling on hard times.
