Bolero is our haven at sea. She's our floating fortress among the ice, and I will see her interests defended.
Near final concept/render hybrid of Kat Olson.
The base image is the render of the current model for Reversion lead character. Of course there is a large amount of post cleanup and shading added, creating a target for the currently WIP model to aspire to.
It proves an interesting game of trade-offs. As the character moves back and forth between model and concept, it becomes a war of attrition, balancing polygon count with detail.
Currently the vast majority of the hair is a post effect, as is the shading; which will be baked onto the model in the final export.
What looks like an unbearably high polycount is really just *really* hi-res texture work, as the concept can be used to update the texture map, which updates the concept, which updates the texture map....
Impressive.
Very impressive, can't wait to see more :)
i love the "kinda dead" look of her, it just makes the transhumanistic characteristics of the combine stand out a little more.
(reminds me how they are made: Youtube.com NOT CANON THO )
but tell me, we will see Kat's combine augmentations in action?
(buried)
she looks like a civil protection officer, so that means she's fully human.
