Nightwing realtime Project

This project was about trying hair cards for the first time. So I shifted my style a little to a bit more semi-realistic approach. I thought the best way to try this is by doing a "fan art" of my favorite superhero. Nightwing.  This Piece went through a lot of transformation and also I spoke to a lot of the fans to ask what they would like to see and I fulfilled those things.

This was the first pass of my model. I laid out the textures and got a feeling of what I wanted the hair to be like. 

Afterwards, I imported this into Maya and started making the alpha cards

Once this was complete I had to do the other Nightwing Outfit which was a huge fan favourite. 

Looking back at this, I will definitely come back and pose this and fix the textures here and there. For now this was another milestone achieved by doing a real-time character with alpha cards for hair approach. 

Thank you for viewing!
