Real Worlds - Character Sheets for Client Review

 Real Worlds - Character Sheets for Client Review

Following on from the thumbnails, I created character sheets for both of my characters.
Starting off with the Forge Fathers, the character I created is called "Spark Master". This will be a boss-type enemy that the player will fight. My idea behind this is that he would have two phases - The first being where his hammer is deactivated and fights with physical attacks, and the second where the sides of the hammer extend, and he becomes electrified - hence the name. This character fits in with the overall aesthetic of the Forge Fathers, whilst still being unique enough to be fitting of the boss role. I stuck with the hammer, as it fits the genre more with the focus being on melee combat more than anything.
In terms of the Matsudan, I previously said that I wanted to keep the look with the broken sword. That is what I did here first, then I fixed the proportions, added the colours and added some extra features onto the character. With both of these characters, I kept most values pretty flat so that the client can look at my characters and request any tweaks in terms of the anatomy or other things in the same vein. I think this character looks pretty good with the armour set and definitely falls into the playable character category with its unique look. I also thought a durability system would be a good idea and an explanation in-game for the broken blade.


With these done, I am ready in terms of art for the client review. All I needed to finish was the pitch presentation.

Toolkit 3D - Character Sculpt Project

 Toolkit 3D - Character Sculpt Project Research and Thumbnails For the 3D side of toolkit, our project was to create a character from one of many briefs. With a specific style and inspiration I am already fond of, I chose brief number one: the Cybernetic Samurai. Looking at the brief I have chosen, it states that the character needs to be " A fusion of traditional samurai armour with futuristic robotic enhancements, glowing energy veins, and a mask that combines human features with mechanical parts." This is a lot of specific details to unpack, so I created a diagram of the different features that I could add to as I research. By treating these different sections as whiteboards, I can research them individually so that I have lots of ideas I could add into the thumbnails.  As usual with 3D modelling, I started with researching specific styles to use as inspiration. Style Research To start with, I began by looking at games before individual artists. I first looked at Bomb Rus...

Toolkit 3D - In-Engine 3D Character Modelling Process

 Toolkit 3D - In-Engine 3D Character Modelling Process This blog will include the timelapse, and timestamps referring to said timelapse with explanations. I normally take screenshots as I work, and annotate those, but I feel that I want to try a different method of documenting my process since screenshots can be disruptive. Firstly, as a refresher, my final design for my character is below. Normally, I would bring this into the 3D software so I could have the reference there, but I opted not to do this. I find references in ZBrush to be disruptive more than anything towards my workflow, and I prefer working with the reference in another monitor whilst sculpting, rather than it being in the software. Here is the timelapse, which I will reference when giving a timestamp and explaining my process. STEP 1: CREATING THE MESH The Body For this model, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone a lot more than last project. Last time, I heavily relied on Blender, only really using ZBru...
