A Low-Poly Character.

This is The General, a low-poly character design based on the feel of Old-World British Navel military. I created The General using Maya, Zbrush and Photoshop. I gathered reference materials from the internet and compiled a comprehensive library of media that I could draw from at any time.

I began making the base meshes in Maya that I could export to Zbrush for detailing later. Here are a few screen shots showing the Facial Blend Shapes, the Rig I created and the Bind Pose (same as the Base Mesh).

This was the final Zbrush, Hi-Poly model that the Normal, Ambient and Cavity maps were generated from. I think it stands at about 51milllion Polys… which is about all my Macbook Pro can handle before it wants to roll over and die.

These are some closer shots of the Hi-Poly, Zbrush models of The General’s weapons. I researched the style of weapon used during this time period by the British Navy and came up with these designs. These are slightly more elaborate than the samples I found in my reference, but it was an artistic decision to do so.
