Shieldmaiden
Based on "The Viking" by Banjiu E'vik.
Really liked the design and I really wanted to do some props as well as update some of my old templates.
Took the new GoW Kratos model as a reference for all the technical shenanigans.
All in all 28k faces - minus the fur. Hair alone is 4.1k faces
Also! Tested this old-school shell fur technique on this model using the base shader. However, without custom shaders, it looks somewhat dated.
Used Houdini to do the automated shell stacking and UV sliding.
In the end, I still had to use a bit of tesselation because it really didn't look too hot.
Documented the progress on the Artstation Blog.
Special thanks to Carl and Manuel for tips and tricks.
