I got her into UE4 and started up on her materials. I'm pretty happy with her skin thanks to this awesome post by Dzung Phung Dinh https://80.lv/articles/secrets-of-human-shaders-in-ue4/
When i got to her eyes i was not happy with the state of the texture, it been low res and went away from my original concept.
I decided to give the eye a separate texture, keeping it low res at 256. Kingdom hearts 3 came to mind when i was painting the eyes again and I realize that how they did highlights and reflections in the eye was pretty similar to how i wanted.
I got the eyes diffuse to a point im pretty happy with my only problem was in UE4, I was having trouble getting the highlight to mirror onto the other eye. I'm still not sure exactly why it wont mirror across(their the same UV's) but I think it has something to do with how UE4 does lighting.
After spending sometime watching trailers and gameplay of various UE4 games i decided to try out creating extra geo just above the eyes and making a mask.I found this gave me a lot more control over the shape and detail of the highlight. I then also add a Fresnel mask to the opacity mask to give the illusion of the light shining when the camera or eye moved.

Hey guys and gal's, finished up the rig for her, getting so close to the end i can taste it!
This is a skeleton based rig and since I'm aiming for a game end budget, no blendshapes. Instead i built a library of poses and keyed them to a nul group.
I decided to leave the arms and legs as just IK's due to there been no real need to make an IK-FK switch and for the poses and animations i have in mind IK would make it a lot quicker to animate.

hey everyone! I've finally finished up a 4 month long project. I put a lot of blood sweat and tears into this and i hope you like it!
Special thanks to everyone who gave awesome feedback over the past months!
I'm pretty happy with how her weapon, hair and rig turned out, but i do feel like the face needs more resolution. I also feel as if she missing something to really give her that final push towards her character, maybe some small trinkets or such to show her story.
