Splinter Cell: Conviction (Update May 10_page 5)

ZBrush Artworks
#56

Here’s a batch of more recent work, from mid 2008 to late 2009. I didn’t even render the pictures this time around, so those are successively screenshots from Zbrush for the digital sculpting, or screenshots of the low res models in Max’s viewport, with DX9 display (sorry for the aliasing).

Grim’s body:

Very cool, thank you for sharing. I really enjoy the detailing of the characters. All the straps, cloth wrinkles and face details came along nicely. Good job on these pieces. :wink:

> betaone + sculptor.zb + filoppo + Ichiban + Sycron: Thanks a lot people! :slight_smile:

> james01: Perfection is out of reach, but I’m trying my best to get a bit closer everyday, like anybody here. :wink: Thank you for your interest, and I’ll try to convince TigerZ to post more Conviction work.

> Clintus Maximus: Thank you! On the pictures I posted here, I used photographs only on the cowboy jeans+boots+belt texture. Jeans are really hard to realistically texture from scratch, because you have so many layers of detail on them. I mean, in a production situation, when you cannot spend to much time on each piece. So I used a photograph as a base for the jean, as well as the boots and buckle (I used CrazyBump to extract a detail normal map).
But every other piece here was textured from scratch without photographs.
I use a lot of photo-references for my sculpting though.

I will try to post some more pictures tonight. Thank you all!

Hi, here’s another small update with some pieces done for the PEC system (customisable multi-player characters), and the Coop mode. These are still screenshots from the high res pieces in ZBrush, and low res models in Max viewport with DX9 shaders.

   PEC Casual (gloves and armband made by Kaven Perreault)

Excellent.
I got this game a few days ago and all the character models look great.
I really like how the low poly models have been constructed.
The topology of the low poly flows with the material folds of the hi res sculpt , so the actual form of the model that we see in game is not completely dependant on the normal map. This is why I like to see the wire frames.:smiley:

I havent looked at the coop levels yet because the match maker for pc is not working, but hopefully I 'll get to see kestrel and archer when the next patch arrives.:lol:

Stunning work!One of the main aspects that get my eyes on this game,beside the gameplay that we all know,is awesome, was the visuals…Your characters are very well sculpted and i just freak out with the level of details on the textures.Congrats!!:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:
