Sci-fi helmet

Bart ·

By phaselock.

This project is a practice and testing piece on hardsurface sculpting and PBR texturing. Primary motive was to work on hardsurface sculpting workflow, retopology and setup a game-res model for PBR testing and rendering. The helmet model consists of several parts: helmet, visor, jaw and sensors. This allowed for different variations of the same base textures and facilitated look development. Several HDRIs and lighting setups were tested with the PBR textures. A final beauty render was done to finish off the project.

Tools: ZBrush, 3D-Coat, Quixel, Blender/Cycles, PS. PBR tests images all rendered at 400 samples. Beauty render at 500 samples. HDRI largely from sIBL archive.

Comments/critiques welcome.
