BioWare CGHUB 2012 3D Challenge - Mass Effect - Adam Sacco
 

Hi, I'm a bit late but I wanted to give it a go. Hopefully I can learn some new tricks along the way.

My character will be a Mass Effect soldier. I am trying a new method with this character by sculpting quick designs to make a base mesh over. Not sure whether or not he should have a helmet. Crit's and ideas are always welcome.

Cheers
Adam

My first wip images were deleted when I changed the attached image to update the forum thumb! Not sure were they are now.

This is a test pose of the medium res model. It will be a cinematic model. I decided to make him an N7 soldier. Any feedback welcome. Already started the shaders and texturing will post some more shortly.

Got around to textures and shaders for my character. I changed his face to a mask and made a gun.

Larger 3k renders can be seen on my website. www.soulty.com

NIce renders man, it came out looking sweet! :)

Thanks Jchave.

very nice colors!

i find the helmet a little bit distracting. the head reminds me of a 80s movie-aliens.

Thanks for the feedback maxloegler. I wanted the helmet to contrast with the rest of it and be an initial focal point.

Any ideas from people are more than welcome on improving this character. I still think it need something!

really cool !!!!

Thanks bikdas.

Im going to do some more work on this over the weekend. Will post some updates in a few days.

Here is some WIPS that were deleted from the start of my thread when editing the attached images.

- Sculpted in Zbrush using Dynamesh to get a basic form.

- Retopo in Topogun and 3dmax.

- Poly painted and sculpted more details in Zbrush.

I like that you incorporated the N7 into the model. I think I may do that as well! presentation is nice. Your design is quite conservative in my eyes.

Turntable video.

Made a new render composite. Trying to get the same look from the Digic cinematic. Well that was the inspiration anyway.

Will post some Clay renders soon.
