Week 3 - Style Matrix 2

Retop

Day 1-3

This week I have begun to re-top my model. It has taken quite a few days which I am not overly happy about and I have realised that I will be quite over my tri budget if i do not optimise all my assets thoroughly.

Here are screenshots of my current progress.

I still have the gloves and feet left to do and i'm currently on 25,500 tris. I need to delete all my hidden faces like on the helmet and cloak as well as the trousers and hopefully doing this will put me under 25k.

Day 3-5

I have now finished my re-top and my unwrap and pack. Unfortunately i completely overestimated the brief and am around 27,200 tris. I tried my hardest to get it under 25,000 for the brief specifications but I found I was ruining my sculpt and after talking to Heather I realised I would have to alter my sculpt or delete assets to get under the budget.

Next time I will definitely have more of an idea of what sort of character fits into certain tri budgets.

Here is my finished re-top:

They are separated by metal and armour on one map and all my cloth and accessories on the other that will have my alphas for the tattered cloth so I will have that 2k sheet s 32 bit.
