Tutorial: Creating Realistic Skin for Characters

Hey Everyone!

Tutorial: Creating Realistic Skin for Characters

So I have finally done it, it has been up for a few days now so some of you may have already come across it but my skin tutorial is finally done.

It is split up into 2 parts, One is on the Texturing process the other is on the Look Dev process.
You can find out all about the series in this short intro video I put together: Link

And I also posted one of the chapters on my Youtube channel as a taste test: Link

So here are some close up renders I did to show the final result I will be achieving in these tutorials. I go through every part of the process and none of it is sped up or time lapsed.

Tutorial: Texturing and Look Dev for Production

Hey guys!

I finally finished my latest tutorial, Texturing and Look Dev for Production.

In this tutorial I go through in detail my process of texturing and shading an asset for a production environment.

If you are interested, find out more through this link: https://gumroad.com/l/AAFCk

I hope you guys enjoy it and learn something new!

Here is my finished Orc piece, which inspired the creation of the tutorial, and still renders of the final helmet asset, generated in the tutorial series.

Orc Bust WIP

So I have been working on the orc bust consistently for the last couple of months in my free time (which is only a couple of hours a day) to try and get this character across the line. You might recognize this guy from about a year ago in my blog. I ended up opening the zbrush file just to grab a piece of armor and then started reworking the form and armor to the point where I thought I should finally take it to a final piece.

Still working on the background for now, but here is a render of where the orc is at, along with a few WIP renders from along the way.

Hopefully I can get this one across the line for good!

Orc Helmet

Hey, Just some shader dev I started looking into with the Orc Helmet.

DemoReel test renders

Hey everyone So I got off my slack ass and decided to start making my first showreel (not including the piece of rubbish I created when finishing university...) Here is an example of the different materials which will be applied to each model as it slowly rotates in the scene. Not all models have textures though so they will work a bit differently. (CLICK TO MAKE BIGGER)

Now time to start the never ending rendering... I made some rough calculations on how long some of this is going to take to render and some of the figures I got was 9 days for one model, each one will be different though depending on size and detail. Anyway, will hopfully have the final up and running in the near future. Cheers for looking Tom

Here is an update of the character fully textured and applied to the animatable mesh. I used a diffuse, normal and displacment map to achive this look.

Here is a wireframe of the character as well, showing the animatable mesh.

Next I will rig the character and then hopfully get him animated and do a few pose renders with a few props and a setting. More to come!
