3D Handpainted Characters

3D handpaint Characters based on a concept by Nicola Saviori.

At first I wanted to do a PBR project, so I ended up using my bake to make a lighting base with the baked stylized light filter on substance painter, then paint over on 3D coat. On this project I was lucky enough to work with animators , which helped me see how to make a game ready asset, especially not forgetting that every element of the character can be important, even those you wouldn't consider.

made in class during 1 month -  thanks to Alexandre Collonge for his feedbacks !

In this project I trained my handpaint rendering by studying the Arcane style, I didn't particularly use normal bake to make a handpaint base on substance, my base to start painting was mainly the polypaint from Zbrush that I baked on the ID map of my mesh. I just used an AO generated on 3D coat for the arms.

The biggest challenge on this project was the dress on the one hand, and the hair on the other. For the dress, I'd first thought of an invert-face mesh, but in the end, a simple alpha texture was all I needed. For the hair, I decided to do it directly in pose, to get the artist's original intention and shapes that I wouldn't have been able to achieve with bones.
