HEROIC FANTASY CREATURES FULL PACK is about to have its 26th creature. This nice vampire is a sweet crossing between vampire and human, it’s kind of like a “werebat”. The model is currently 4.5 Ktris. It will have a st of 16 quality animations. Model will come with 20482048 diffuse, specular, normal texture and a small 512512 illumination texture for the glowing eyes.
4.5K triangles is nothing, today standard is 20k poly per creature/character. Dont limit your creativity and quality by trying to adjust to obsolete restrictions.
20 ktris is useful for the higher lod versions of chacarters that can have load of props and clothe etc … Here it s just a simple “naked” creature that doesn’t require much geometry details.
That looks cool! I think the ears are a bit too large, but maybe that changes when it is textured. I hope you’ll do an attacking while running (or walking) animation for this one as well. I found the creatures where that one is missing quite tedious to use as I have to make it myself.
Actually modern workflow creates even 50m poly surfaces (basic model in 3ds max, details in zbrush/mudbox) and you use this super high poly model for generating proper normal/height map for basic version.
Love it. Your work is always top notch. I for one am glad that you don’t go crazy with too many polygons. Yet your work is so good, that it looks and works better than many of those that do. Great stuff.
l0cke :I know the workflow, no worries. Kill zone 3 is going up to 40 Ktris for the higer lod version of the models and going down to 3 Ktris if i remember well what I saw. Here from this base model retouch in Z brush it could be a 10 M polys and create several Lods from that. But here is not what I’m planning to do obviously. Just trying to be consistent with the pack I’m creating that’s all.
MaDDoX : true as well.
Jaimi : thanks, i always appreciate your support. Sorry about this long delay to have this new creature. Been soooooo busy working on the Galactic Raiders. Creature should be ready tomorrow or tonight.
Updated first post with a video of the animations. Creatures has been submitted to the asset store and is already available on PROTOFACTOR STORE.
Cheers
