3D Anime Character 2

Here is an update on the anime guy.

He is all uv mapped, I started the hair, and I put some unfinished placeholder textures on him. I am gonna need to make a more detailed version later.

I also made a toon shader network to get a feeling of what he will look like completed!

He isn't done yet, but he is going pretty well. and is getting closer to what I want him to be. I need a lot more work on the hair, and the hair texture. I need a smoother transition between opaque and transparent, and I need some detail on it. But the whole thing needs more detail.

So the next step is definitely more detail on the textures... Until then!

3D Anime Character

I have been wondering for a while how cartooney games like Eternal Sonata and Kingdom Hearts make their simple styles work so well.

I decided to experiment with that and try to make a model that looks comparable. This is what I have so far.

I started by painting this simple model sheet. I wanted to keep details to a minimum, but still give the character some... well character...

I then went on to modelling.

Next I'm working on UV mapping, texturing and hair..

I figure that the texturing will need to be smooth gradients and flat colors with some texture. I highly doubt that  normal maps will be necessary. Specular maps might be interesting. I should experiment with different shading networks to get a cartoon look, I think that will be important.

Till next time!  

I'm working on this sword model and thought I would throw it up here for people to see!

Here is the game-res version.

I took the game-res and then detailed it out in zbrush.

I want to texture it next and bring it into unreal or something. I am going to make some normal maps from the zbrush model..

Orc Warrior Model

Hey, it has been a little while since my last post. But I thought it might be a good time to do some updating here!

I have this model of an orc creature that I did in Zbrush, and I have been trying to figure out what to do with it. I decided that I would have a little fun with it, and play around with a few different options, and experiment a little.

I decided that the first thing I would try is a paintover! I took the untextured render and I have redesigned him by painting new features, a new color scheme, and an overall different look.

I'm gonna try out some other stuff, and post it later maybe.. I think I like the paintover versions design better. Maybe if I bring this to game res I will retexture it like this..
