Week 4- more pre production

Research was the key for this week. After previously studying Araki's design process, I had a starting point of which to begin. A lot of JJBA content references western music, particularly rock music. For example, the antagonist is named "Dio". 

For the stand, I created moodboards and collected research surrounding the names a few different bands. 

Such as, 
Christian Death,

Marilyn Manson, 

And Misfits.


The idea I chose to with was "The Cure"


And although I created a siouxsie sioux/banshee moodboard, I decided to use this for my stand user

Week 13-texture

The texturing process has been an arduous one. The bake tests revealed many problems that had to be worked around. I tried my reworked pipeline on just her head, as was happy with the result. Once every thing was fixed, actually texturing wasn't that difficult. I used substance for baking, and for applying base colours. I then used mudbox to add the details, such as the line work, cross hatch and highlights and shadow. I used my unreal file, to figure out which lines were picked up by the shader, and what needed to be drawn on. I textured the stand and the User in seperate mudbox files, importing the textures from substance.

Week 11- Refining the Sculpt

Image
This week was about making as much progress on each character's high poly as I could. I spent many hours just ensuring I definitely was very happy with the look of the high poly. I felt it was very effective untextured, I just hope I can maintain the look when I texture it. I also did an initial texture test, just using mudbox's painter tools. This clearly wasn't looking quite right, and I'd have to rethink my texture pipeline. I realised it was important to have my shaders set up, so I could see how it was going to look in engine, as well as being able to visualise what detail was picked up by the shader and what was necessary to draw on.
