Hey, so I have been using Medium more as a collaboration space with clients using existing models, but decided to start doing my own thing 🙂

Decided to do a quick doodle myself to figure out workflows between it and Substance and Redshift renderer .. Was super quick, gave me an idea for a proper sculpt which I will chronicle here 🙂

So it was my lunch break ... I couldn't wait and while this is a still WP mode I wanted to see what I needed to fix in terms of geometry so that it could be easily rotopoed and then UV Unwrapped, I noticed that I need to fix several things with the model. (small gaps etc)  But this gave me a chance to do a super quick experiment with painting some extra details in using normal and height maps by projecting old mummy skin and using that for details. Built a custom smart material in Substance Designer with loads of AO and Curvature masks.

This is only a test, I will spend a few more hours developing the base mesh and tweaking the details. But the material doesn't look half bad I think.

Nearing completion on the model, just a few tweaks here and there, then I will enhance the detail using normal maps and paint the sucker, I think it turned out well! Retopoed model has about 3,000,000 polys ...

Painting the normal Map .. have a day off today so focusing on making this awesome!

(for those who might not know) A normal map allows adding fine details to a model. It's not real geometry but it responds to light and ambient occlusion just like it was.

Coming along nicely. Hair is just an experiment, will probably not be in the final version. I want to sculpt the wings and armour for it .. that's next on the agenda.

Starting to block out rest of the upper body .. I want something regal and ancient almost necromantic feeling.
