Project 2: Character Sculpt - Texturing and detailing

Instructions

Figure1.1 MIB

Task

We were tasked to do further enhancements to our character model by adding more details. Guidelines were given to assist us in achieving the best result.

1. Character Persona
2. Skin Details
3. Scars and bumps
4. Creases 
5. Color implementation
6. Light setup
7. FINAL RENDER

 In this section, I added folds on the cape and some extra accessories that would make the character less dull.

Then, I added texture onto every piece of clothing and accessories. I also realized that the "PolySkin" texture does not really reflect light that well, or it doesn't give me the lighting that I wanted, so I changed it to "Basic Material" and it worked surprisingly well, thus I added an extra layer of "Basic Material" to everything to keep the lighting consistent.

Reflection

I personally had fun playing with the texturing and detailing, ignoring how time-consuming and stressful it is to work on the details under pressure. I would enjoy it more if there were no other pending assignments waiting for me.
