Iron Man Mark 85 - Tony Stark

Presenting part 1 of 2 of my Mentorship Project term at Think Tank Training Centre.

For this project, I wanted to try and capture the performance of one of my favorite superheroes.

It was also a chance to demonstrate the modeling, texturing, and lookdev skills I have built during the last two years studying asset creation for film.

For the sculpting I used Zbrush for blocking the Armor, the retopo was done in Maya, and fixed some proportions as well, iron-man textures were created in Mari, and the base in Substance Painter, Rendering/Lookdev with Arnold.

Robert Downey Jr.

For this portrait, I wanted to try and capture the performance of one of my favorite actors of our time, the great Robert Downey Jr. His iconic voice and charismatic presence have left an indelible mark on countless cinematic masterpieces, and I aspire to capture some of his essence and physicality in this portrayal.

It was also a chance to demonstrate the modeling, texturing, groom, and lookdev skills I have built during the last two years studying asset creation for film.

For the sculpting, I used Maya and Zbrush in equal parts, with all the primary and secondary forms established in Maya, and high-resolution detail in Zbrush. Skin detail was achieved with Texturing XYZ's VFACE. All skin/eye textures were created in Mari, and the rest in Substance Painter. Clothing was drafted and simulated with Marvelous Designer, then finished with Maya/Zbrush. Groom was created in Xgen. Rendering/Lookdev with Arnold, Compositing in Nuke.
