Hyde Hands



For Hyde's hands, it was just a case of using the same method as sculpting his head. I used Jekyll's finished hand model and altered and deformed it to fit Hyde's character.

I found a lot of useful reference of hands and bone conditions to help achieve my result, one example being Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Hyde's hands sculpt process, starting with Jekyll's finished hand model:




As the model had subdivision and was already unwrapped, I decided to do a test bake to ensure that the detail would show well on the low poly mesh.

Morph Target Practice

Morph Target Practice In order to find out if the my idea for my project would be feasible, and to understand the process of animating the morph targets on my character, I carried out a basic test in Unreal Engine 4. Firstly, I created a deformed variation of my model in ZBrush using the same mesh, so it had the same geometry and UVs. I then exported both the high and low poly models of the man and deformed man, then imported them into 3DS Max. I used the Morpher modifier in Max to pick the deformed mesh for my model to morph into. I then exported the original male mesh ready for use in Unreal. Inside Unreal Engine, I used the Normal maps for both of the models, which I had previously baked in Substance Painter, and set them up to blend in a material. I then made an instance of that material so that I could change the properties of the parameters I had exposed. Inside Unreal, I used the 3rd Person Character template to give me a start with a ca...

Hyde Texture Start

Hyde Texture Start After the sculpt was finalised, it was just a case of redoing the UVs for Hyde's head and hand and mouth, as the geometry was all the same, then baking and texturing in Substance Painter. For the skin, I used the same methods and techniques that I employed with Jekyll. For reference, I found that elderly people's faces offered really good details and colour information that worked well with the look I was after.

Final Year Project Idea

Final Year Project Idea For this 12 week project I intend to produce a full game-ready, realistic character implemented in Unreal engine 4 using the PBR pipeline. The inspiration of my piece will be taken from Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde as I aim to produce a character who changes their features into something beastly. My main inspirations for this piece so far are examples such as 'The Order: 1886' Lycan transformation, 'The Wolfman'(2010) VFX breakdown and the real-time werewolf transformation by  YOSUKE ISHIKAWA Although a lot of my inspirations come from werewolf transformations, I aim to stray away from making Lycan or Werewolf features and try to make something more unique. To achieve this, I have gathered a variety of creature and deformed human-like artwork and images to be influenced by. By researching into myths and folklore I am able to find a broad range of inspiration, one example being a Wendigo - a g...
