Armoured Mat

Render Time!

I'm quite happy with the result and how true to my concept I was able to keep.

I only started my 3D Art this year and I have so much to learn.
During this challenge I was introduced to some new tool's I hadn't used yet, tools that I will definitely use in the future.   Watching the progress of other Mats was also really interesting and inspiring.
The whole process was really enjoyable.

Thanks' for stopping to have a look at my Armoured Mat.

17/12/2023 Ready for Rendering

Here are some of the different maps that make up my Texture.

12/12/2023 Milestone Day

most of the major armour sculpting is done, now it's down to refinements.

07/12/2023 I have fallen in love with the paths tool...

This project is the first time I've used paths, It has made creating these armour plates and lines immeasurably easier.
I will be using this one a lot in the future.

04/12/2023 Into Substance Painter!

I've started by creating some base materials to work with.
Now I'm working on getting some detail in and masking out those materials.
I've started with the arms, here's where I'm at so far.

28/11/2023 Colour Palette

I decided to not overcomplicate the senses and go with a "clean" metal finish with red fabric and brown leather.
Dirt/Grime will come later as needed.

"Now where did I put that sword..."

27/11/2023 Concept first draft

This is my first comp and my first upload to the Rookies!
I love medieval fantasy games and stories, so I couldn't resist the chance to have some fun with this and bring that to life.
I'd also really like to push some skills I've started learning this year and learn some new ones in the process.

So here he is...
I've chosen to put Mat in a full set of armour, Still deciding on a colour palette, this will come in the next update.

So far, I've started with the general arrangement for my armour, based off an idea board I've got going on.
