With the art test we have been tasked with entering into the substance painter competition called Meet Matt 2 where you are given a basic 3D plain character as a canvas to create a character. I have seen the first meet matt which was really impressive with how people were so creative with their designs. With the competition I researched into some of the submitted ones that were already submitted on ArtStation to get an idea of what I could do. As from looking at the submitted designs are impressive which wasn’t helpful as it kind of made me feel the my work wouldn’t be up to that level. However I am going to do my best to come up with an interesting design. With the ideas I come up with was Master Chief, Doom guy and etc. As I had a rough idea of where I wanted to go with my design as I am going with a video game character which most of them were taken.
In the end I went for the Vault Boy from the Fallout franchise as I could make the 3D character as a bobble head with the base styled like the vault door. The reason for why I have chosen this is that simplistic look yet I can add a lot of detail to the surface, even some ware and tear. The reason for this is that I am still getting use to using Substance painter but also most of my ideas are to complicated. So I started off with the base to warm myself up with substance painter. With creating the figure I gathered some reference images of the vault door for the base and some images of the vault boy. With texturing the base I did have some issues with adding weathering detail with rust and scratch marks. I have covered this before but completely forgot how to do it. So I had to refer back to my
