Games Art: Winter Project Part 15

The final renders of the model in Unreal 4, It looks awesome ! and am so proud of this work and i just want to jump straight into another project! although things i would have liked to change in hindsight is make the low model i a bit smoother as i can still see some hard ages which is a bit annoying but does not change to final result to much. I presented the renders like they belonged to the Blood Bowl franchise and they were release game art.

Now i am finished i when on to make a display map like i was going to show the assets to a company or a show. I tried to make it look professional i think i did, one contains the final model and the wire frame the other one shows all the major important maps.

This is just an advancement of the last post i just wanted to show more angles and views of my map, i also baked the lighting at a higher resolution and changed the lighting options for my model to 1080 so i can get the best final render i can.

The last step was bring the assets in to unreal 4, i had to re-export my low model in to an FBX file so it would keep the soft edges. I needed to make the material for the model to have all the detail i made for it in Quxicel, all we had to do was import all the Photoshop files which Quxicel had made then match them up in the material editor.
After that i needed to make a scene to display the helmet in i design to go for the idea that it was held in a glass case in the basement of the veteran so kept it as a memory its sat my a large mannequin that would hold his armor but it was there right now. I think it looks great ! im really proud of it, i just wanted to make a Photoshop showcase of the model as a final show piece.

After i got my normal maps and ambient occlusion map i headed into Quxicel i added my low helmet obj with the normal and occlusion then got to work with adding and changing the materials i wanted to give the helmet the rough old look, like it had been used by an old veteran of the game and he kept it after his retirement. I went for a blue faded metal for the base so it gave it a feel of a aged metal which had been painted and the paint has bee wearing of, I made sure to give it some stains from playing with dirt and paint fading. For the face mask/ bars as they are a thin metal compared to the rest of the helmet i wanted to show that, they wouldn't be able to take the punishment and weather like the core can. So i can it a mass rusting which flakes on the dents in the bars.
With the wings i did they same as they base because they would have been made out of the same material only they would have been engraved and treated to make it the white colour, i also cause of the engravings made it have paint chip marks and grass stains all over it. I am really pleased with how these have come out and i can wait to see what look like unreal 4.

After using xNormal to get my normals and occlusion maps i a, really positive about how my model is going to come out. A quick piece to add also is that i am going to import the wings and the rest of the helmet separately so i can get the most detail out of them.

The last step for me before i went into xNormal was to make a colour map so that Quixel can tell which different parts of the model are supposed to be different materials. I first colored the model with base materials then i took a uv snap shot and continued to paint the uv's for each different material i wanted and where it would be.
