Luc Cote - 3D Character Artist/ Generalist

I have been working with the Quixel MetaHuman Creator early access and have some decent results. Very easy and intuitive, not to mention groundbreaking (at least the creation part before the export process). Here are some basic quick captures of a character I have been working on. He started out as a preset but I have blended him with at least 7 other presets of significantly different varieties. I recommend anyone to check it out, even non game folk. Its easy enough to get you hooked, I promise. I will update when I have a little more fine tuning! 

All of the modeling, unwrapping, sculpting, mapping, and blending work was done by myself.  The Depth Analysis work was done by Scott Mcmillan, and the incredible pipeline and tools work by Hamish McKenzie.  We used the original scan data is from Depth Analysis, using a line from L.A. Noire by the actor Bob Clendenning.

In L.A. Noire all of the makeup and face textures had to be scanned in, which required all of the texture work to be finalized on the scanning end.  With this new tech, we moved all of that responsibility to the character artist, who was then allowed to do any texturing required, from makeup to gunshot wounds. And the biggest advantage was being able to put a realistic talking head, connected to a game mesh (which we couldn't do in L.A. Noire).  No more hiding neck seams behind collar attire.  With this new method we were able to get perfect real time facial animations using realistic in game budgets.
