Nice! 15 000 tris is quite much, but for such a character it is ok I quess:)

If u are looking for a job now, u should not have any problems with that with your skills, good luck:)

cheers

This looks fantastic m8, you wont get any crits from me.. The textures and modelling looks spot on and I dont think 15k tris is too high at all.. Are you going to animate him? I think you should ;)

I think that 15k tris is ok too for such a character, and never said it is too high

Very good work! Modeling, textures and materials are fantastic.
My main problem with this is mostly about the design. It's perfectly symmetrical. There's not a single element that breaks it. I think that breaking the symmetry would improve the silhouette of the character.
But of course, as you said, it is not your concept. But looking at the textures, they are perfectly symmetrical as well. Giving the texture more variation would have broken the symmetry at least in that aspect.

[BigErn]

hay you guys! Thanks for the feedback so far, good to see a couple of familar faces :beer:
I`m glad people like the textures, its an area of weakness I found, so really put my time in on this one, also spent a LOT of time getting the spec just right, makes or breaks a model.

for ras : here is the wire, normal, and marmoset test in one lovely pic.

Really nice bro.love it

Can i ask some question?

- How u paint ur color map? combination of AO and cavity?, by Xnormal or zbrush?

thanks bro really love the detailed

Hey sasin (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=371565), glad you like it, just spent ages putting it together for my reel.

The normals were mostly grabbed in Maya. I normally make a frozen version of all my SubDivs as they don't usually bake. So its just a painful piece by piece bake, and then compile all the maps into 1 master map. I also used Xnormal to try and grab the ones which Maya just has trouble with. Not sure why but it just doesn't like some object normals and flips things around.

As for painting colour. I just start with solid colours, building up from there, with grunge etc. I also do various occlusion overlays, sometimes down to only 10% but with some changes to levels, just to pick up some details, get some hi-lights etc.

I used the Xnormal Photoshop plugins to make Cavity maps for overlay, and also additional normal map details, cloth, metal bumps etc. I have a map here if you want a look. The spec is where the real strength lies with this sort of object.
