Snezhana Golubeva | The Rookies 2024

Fighter

Real-time character based on the concept of Nick Bray Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 4.

I want to thank my teachers of Lidem Barcelona for helping me throughout my project.

That was my first whole body realistic character for me. I learned a lot and what's more important, I enjoyed it! 

Below you can see some sculpting breakdown. I used Marvelous Designer to create the base for the pants and the jacket. Then I sculpted it over in ZBrush. I used XYZ Textures for skin, custom alfas for details and a lot of layers:

I made this project during my course with ArtHeroes. I learned a lot about facial anatomy and realistic skin texturing.

Sculpted in ZBrush, textured with Substance Painter. The hair is made with xgen, the shirt - Marvelous Design.

Rendered in Unreal Engine 5.
