SAINT NICHOLAS
It was my x-mas project. It was great experience. I did many mistakes that I learned how to solve, learned lots of things actually. I hope u like this.
A funny little character from video games
The main goal of this project was to step out of my comfort zone, which is the animation industry , and create a realistic look with the highest possible quality. - The first thing I did was modeling and create the UVs. - Using ZBrush I made the displacement information of the details that gave the character his personality, such as his wrinkles and expression lines. - In Mari and using the XYZ textures I created the high, mid and low displacement information separately . With the help of the displacement I created the diffuse, which I use to obtain the rest of the necessary channels: specular, roughness, metalness, bump... - Using Substance I made masks of the different layers of the helmet information i.e.: dirt, blood, dust, rust) that I later used in Mari to play with procedural nodes and therefore work with a non destructive workflow. - I created ID masks that allowed me to have more control over the different parts in the Lookdev phase (Arnold). - Using Nuke I made the last tiny color adjustments , as well as the composition and integration of the final image.
