Sooo much better! You textures work well with this lighting, and it has really imporved the realism. Remember, if its a medieval subject, never light with white! (just made that up! haha)

EDIT: well, that not strictly true, but it def works with this character

Yeah it was pretty much all the leather. It looks much better in your Marmoset render. I think with a bright day-light lighting setup leather can get washed out and look dull, so it *can* be good to boost the specular to keep it looking like leather rather than a dull rag. Putting him in a darker lighting setup should give him more contrast and shadow and also make the materials a bit more readable.

Looks very cool!

Hey thanks guys!

I wasnt reall happy with my texture so i spent more time on them. let me know what you guys think?

i would try darkening metal parts on diffuse and maybe slightly brightening them on specular.

if you check the concept you can see that shaded areas of armor are fairly dark, on your version those areas are bright.

THx! i did and changeda couple of other stuff. i realise that i should really practice texturing!

so here what i have now. Overall less satured except the red hood that is more, more shinny metal and darker on difuse and a couple of smaller stuff.

so heres what i have:

This character is absolutely stunning. The only problem at the moment is I kind of don't know where to look as there is so much going on in the design. I think a low opacity gradient overlay would really help draw attention away from the feet and to the head.

How many sub tools is that bad boy, and how many terabytes of RAM do you have?

My computer would implode with a tenth of the polys that you highpoly sculpt has lol

Nice character! The details are stunning!
