Hello! This is my entry for the Retrogasm - 2018 contest put on by Jon Troy Nickel and Layna Lazar. The contest's goal is to recreate a character from a game older than gen 6 consoles and bring it into modern standards. I chose one of my favorite characters from my childhood, Kyle Katarn from the Jedi Knight Series.
The character was made in ZBrush and Maya, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Marmoset. This was a big learning experience for me; hair cards, rigging, and Marmoset are some of the things I picked up or improved on from this project and all of it was fun! There are still a good few places where I can reduce poly's but since the contest did not require a limit, I took the liberty of retaining detail in some areas, in entirety though there are around 90k tris.
I'd love to see a similar game some day but for now I must live in nostalgia. :) As always let me know what you think, no project is ever finished!
