Finally managed to tear myself away from Skyrim and the month long iron grip it has had me in. Did these two sculpts today from the ground up using the same basemesh. Spent most my time on the hooded one.

sergeant game version

here's a lowpoly version of the previous character with normal and ambient occlusion textures. The character itself consist of 11140 triangles and 2x2048 textures and the weapons (gun and shotgun) consists of  2542 tris (gun) and 524 tris (shotgun) and has their own 1024 normal and ambient occlusion textures. They're both fully animatable.

Military wip

Been sick for an  extended period now, so productivity's been down the drain. Here's a small update to show that I'm still alive.

back again

So I've been feeling rather blue this last month, which has affected my productivity immensly, but now I'm back with some updates on stuff I did last week. First of is two character sculpts which some added color to hopefulle make it easier to distinguish between the various subtools.

so here's "superbuffdude" and "bufffigherdude", the naming itself is highly originall I'm sure!...no really!

Here's a bust sculpt based on a picture of poker player Doyle Brunson.( originall found here http://thedivinedish.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/doyle1.jpg )

It has dawned on me that I might not be able to get a job as a character artist ( seeing as there is so many talented people out there) and I have thuss made a couple of prop/enviroment-oriented pieces. First of is a chair with two variations

And a door based on  a concept made by an artist I absolutely adore, Paul Richards (site http://www.autodestruct.com/concept.htm ). I'm not finished with the door as there is some details missing, I'll probably eventually make a lowpoly version of it and make me textures.

old face - gameversion

So I haven't really been productive these last few days since I've been ill. I have however solved the problems mentioned in the previous post( the flickering eyes and the displacement at the ear) and have assigned some shaders to the inside of the mouth of the "old mans face". Furthermore I've done a lowpoly version of "him" with diffuse, spec and normalmaps. The face consists of 2878tris all-in-all (eyes,teeth,tounge etc) with 2x1024 textures (normal,diffuse) and one 512 specmap. Picture taken in the Maya viewport.

Probably should have spend a little more time on the eyebrows seeing as they look like cotton in the viewport <.<

And here's a pic of the shaded teeth. Think I'll be putting this one on hold for the time being, learning about shading-networks is fun and all, but it takes a lot of time to learn, time which I sadly don't have at the moment.

wrinklemaps

so the rigg is done and I'm reasonably of happy with the skinweights in the face. I've been looking at implementing some wrinklemaps into the rigg  today which I was fairly happy with seeing as I hadn't really ever read up on wrinklemaps before this miniproject. Here's a quick videotest I did to check them out.

After the testrender I noticed that there's some weird stuff going on behind the ear as well as that the eyes seem to be flickering. guess I'll check what's up with that next.

sss done

so here's the final shader, might tweak it a little more later as I'm not 100% satisfied with the result. I've begun making the facialrigg, which will probably take a while to complete seeing as it is the first facialrigg I've ever done, but one can never learn to much.
