Description
Test render of the new Protoss character I'm working on. Notice that the skin on her waist is a different color from her head. Please try to ignore that for now.Related content

I thought your hand was propping up a physical model of the Protoss character LOL...

The golden armor is the most photographic looking reflective metal I've ever seen rendered... lol. There must be some sort of subtle map you have applied to it to give it that realistic edge... Have you applied a SSS (sub-surface scattering) shader for the skin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For the skin, no. It's just a regular Arch&Design shader

Love the armor! I thought it was a real sculpture, and an excellent one at that! amazing

Seems like real skin.
Awsome job so far.
Keep at it!!!

Everything looks awesome. I'm not sold on the mouth wrinkles however, I think they're way too bulky... it seems as if the creator made a texturing mistake or as if he was going for a super deformed look. Other than that, the armor looks gorgeous

Same with you on the face. It would even look more deformed when light comes from a different direction. I also don't like that ridge on her face. Too zergy. The face is easily redoable, though. I'm excited to start re-sculpting it with the help of my Wacom tablet >8D

Lawl you can sculpt with a tablet? that's hardcore...

awesome!!! which rendering program did you use for your final render? hope to see the arms on soon! very well done, did you use photoshop (or other bitmap programs) to enhance the blue from the eyes or is that straight from the original rendering?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! I dabbed a tiny bit of blue glow aura around the eyes and jewels but that's about it.
I used 3ds Max with the Mental Ray renderer.

As always, excellent. So, why aren't you doing sc2's ingame models yet?

As always, I'm surprised by how real, the metal parts look on this; they have a polished, very metallic and pristine type of texture to them and the way the layers of metal are arranged looks so complex and lifelike. Beautiful.

Thanks! And to think all of this started with a box

wow, that is so reflective that I thought it was a real piece of armor made from metal crafting, very cool indeed.

amazing... impressive job so far, cant wait to see it finished! itll be a definitely-

Hm really impressive
I like the design of the armour ^^
Funny that I can never see a canon for the protoss look :/
Nearly every pic (even in the manual) shows a different looking protoss xD (mostly the head, hand and toe)
Oh, btw, the Terran Ghost you once asked is on its way
After I'm done with the final exam I'm free to do it ^^ (Hopefully I will be able to make a WIP until than)

You are trully an athesist god amongst men in 3d. In all honesty the intricacy of the interlocking metal panels are what I find most striking. Are they part of the base model or are independently modeled alongst the surface?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The panels are separate meshes. I modeled the important parts first like the piece which holds the crystal, the bottom piece around the waist, around the shoulders, and the neck collar before filling in the remaining spaces and adding detail.

looking great so far!
I suppose its a female right? because "its" skin as less rugged textured than the usual.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. It may not be obvious at this point. But I'm planning to make her look more feminine once I rig and pose her.

I love the skin shader on the face, could you share the setting of the shader?
And the armor is awesome too...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure. It's a mental ray Arch&Design shader inside a Bump combiner with a normal map extracted from Mudbox and some additional bump maps. In the Arch&Design shader I made maps for the diffuse, specular, and glossiness slots. It's a pretty simple setup.

Cool, thanks a lot man...
I thought u're using sss, how about the light setup, d'u use hdri map or manually rig the light?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh the lights + the reflections are entirely from an HDRI map.

Thanks mate, still a lot of things to learn...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, SoW is dead. So this is just gonna be my own character

Aw...*depressed face* so the website that says that SoW is about to come out hasn't been updated in a while, I'm guessing?
