Max's 3D stuff

Hi everyone,
It has been some time since I wanted to post some of my stuff in here, finally decided to jump in. I will try to update the work as much as possible. Crits will be more than welcome so if you have anything to say... i bet you already know what to do

So let's get started with the basics :

my artstation

and an overview of what I did already

and here is what I am up to at the moment. Some sort of sci-fy soldier that I started as a uick sculpt. But then I decided to refine it so in the end it woul be a good exercice to texture it.

Currently i am doing some retoplogy, trying to find the best way to get it done

Hello and welcome! Really cool stuff you got going on. His proportions reminds me of a goblin-type-deal. Looking forward to see the retop!

Hey beliroz, thanks for passing by

Retopo is in progress but not 100% sure of my approach of it at the moment. Still trying to figure out what would be the best, all in one, separate some pieces, separate all the pieces.. Still a loooong way to go ahah

After 2 weeks fighting with my computer, finally able to do some retopo. Still stuck on my laptop tho so detailing and texturing will have to wait for a moment unfortunatly

Here is what the topology look like right now. Mostly done in topogun, tweaked some stuff inside of zbrush as well. I think i will keep that for this guy. Now the fun part ====> Uv's.

High rez in Zbrush, call it done (it never really is but yep, you know..). Made some renders with keyshot and here they are

beliroz 2017-03-25 14:37:16 UTC #7

That looks very cool! Just finished my first retop, I never knew it'd be that much work. Very nice!

maxschy 2017-03-25 16:22:40 UTC #8

Thanks
And yeah retopo takes a lot of work but in the end that's soooo satisfying to see

Ok so after a loooong time busy doing something else, i started working on this guy again. Trying out some textures, which is quite tricky simply because I don't have a precise idea of what I want to do with it. But here are the results of my first test.
This is stll WIP and the colors will more than likely change again before it's done. But for the moment they are the best way for me to clear my mind and try to get something out of it.

I will try to update a bit more often on that as I have some times to work on it

maxschy 2017-04-17 16:25:50 UTC #10

Made 2 new versions this weekend. Not sure which one i'll go for. Next time i'll definitly try to sketch something before going into texturing completly blind

Everything rendered with Iray btw

Really digging the design, especially the eyes and helmet. I think making the suit materials a bit more shiny could add more interest =)

maxschy 2017-04-17 18:41:03 UTC #12

Thanks for the feedback
I think I've changed the eyes almost every time I opened the files and there will probably be 15 more iterations in the futur ahah
I'll try make it more shiny see what I can get. Crazy how much I struggle with that guy

luckyyy 2017-04-17 18:43:01 UTC #13

Really liking it. Perhaps the eyes can change depending on the situation? Like a screen.

maxschy 2017-04-17 18:49:28 UTC #14

That was actually the first idea. I wanted to have something that look like a led screen changing colors and maybe form with the danger. But i haven't dig into that enough until now;
At some point I was also thinking to have the same color change on the yellow lines of the second version

luckyyy 2017-04-17 18:53:45 UTC #15

Sounds rad!

piotr47 2017-04-18 09:24:44 UTC #16

Really like this las character. There is a "space kingdom heart" vibe! Will follow your work!

maxschy 2017-04-19 14:12:31 UTC #17

Thanks man. You actually gave me an idea for a weapon mentionning Kingdom Heart

maxschy 2017-04-19 14:15:09 UTC #18

Annnnnd I made an other version. Three versions actually... This time with the color change on the helmet as well.
Not sure which one I prefer in the end. But the global color combination of the suit will more than likely be the final version.

Note: The emissive aspect on the lines of the suite is more a "bling bling/ me trying stuff in substance" for now. This may as well be removed in the final render

luckyyy 2017-04-19 16:11:48 UTC #19

I'm liking it, but not that into the skin colored parts of the suit. Looks cool as heck though!

maxschy 2017-04-27 10:11:56 UTC #20

I finished creating a sword to had to the character. Then moved on to quickly rig it and play a bit to try finding a cool pose. For now i have txo, one "action" pose and one"demoreel" pose (let's call it like that"

The action pose

and the "demoreel" pose
