Character Sculpt

Pick one prompt to design and eventually sculpt from this list:
  • Cybernetic Samurai
  • Forest Guardian *
  • Steampunk Explorer *
  • Alien Warrior Priest
  • Ancient Sea King
  • Ghostly Victorian Noble *
  • Desert Nomad Mystic
  • Mechanical Golem
  • Vampiric Knight *
  • Celestial Mage *
(I have starred the ones I am most interest in)

Here is what's expected for this:
  • Concept work, Thumbnails, Rough sketches, Character sheets, Orthographs etc
  • Research
    • Style research - find evidence + influence for the style you wish to embody final sculpt
    • Benchmarking - Find artists and products that will exemplify your final concept and sculpt
  • Step by step progress
  • Final sculpt, rendered as a turnaround from ZBrush
  • No textures
Submission Date: February 2nd 2025

ZRemesher

Tool > Geometry > ZRemesher

Dynamesh is normally better for organic models and ZRemesher is better for hard surface.

ZRemesher is able to used with polygroups. It is a method of automatic retopology. It's extremely useful to use to fix bad topology and it can also be used to simplify the topology of your model.

In this blog, I applied ZRemesher to a model of a hat.

3D Toolkit - Renders, Turntable and Unreal Implementation

Turntable Here is a link to my turntable on Sketchfab:  https://skfb.ly/pxnUY Unfortunately, the texture for the mask on the belt just wouldn't work. It wasn't assigning correctly onto the model despite being completely fine in both Maya and Unreal. I was unable to resolve this issue so I left it with a basic white colour. Renders For some reason, during my renders, the textures broke and I wasn't entirely sure how to fix it. I think it might've been to do with the materials of my assets. I tried changing them but it broke the textures even more.  Unreal Implementation I implemented my character into unreal to see how they looked. They had been scaled a little too big, so in Maya I went back and made them smaller.

I haven't included then here as a lot of them share a blog post with what I was working on at the time. It's also just easier to organise them chronologically if I link the posts in order.
