Curved Armor | Low Poly
Final Render w/ baked Normal & AO Maps from High Poly. I Polypainted the textures in ZBrush by masking & inverting surface noise.
Low Poly VS Decimated High Poly. I 3d model all of my work in ZBrush.
Terrible UV work but I wanted to create something quick & dirty so I could test out some texture ideas I had in mind. This is the Polypaint from ZBrush.
Warm Up work. This armor served served several purposes. 1, trying an idea I had about using the Crease Curve brush, 2, Polypainting using surface noise by masking & inverting, 3, finally baking those high res details down to a low poly. The emissive material was a last minute idea I had in Substance Painter. All texture are baked from the High Poly so I didn't use any Substance Painter materials at all :)
