CHARACTER ASSET

WARHAMMERORK

My favourite model so far. Sculpted fat, baked hard, rigged mean.

A low-mid poly game mesh built from a high-detail sculpt — normals and surface detail baked into PBR textures in Substance Painter. Fully rigged and animated with three combat-ready clips, then dropped into an Unreal Engine 5 project.

KEY RENDERS

Blender viewport captures. Lighting and materials straight from the Substance Painter export — no post tricks, just the mesh doing the work.

CLOSE-UP — FACE & JAW PLATE

SURFACE DATA

PBR TEXTURE SET

Full material breakdown from Substance Painter. High-frequency sculpt detail lives in the normal and roughness maps — the mesh stays lean, the surface reads rich.

BASE COLOR

Albedo map — skin tones, chipped red armour, weathered metal and leather straps.

NORMAL

Baked from high-poly sculpt — pore detail, armour dents, fabric weave and metal scratches.

ROUGHNESS

Gloss variation across materials — oily skin, matte leather, polished claw edges.

METALLIC

Metal vs dielectric mask — steel jaw plate, rivets, claw mechanisms vs organic surfaces.

EMISSION

Glowing red eye channels — subtle emissive punch for that unhinged stare in-engine.

DISPLACEMENT

Height data from sculpt — available for close-up renders and optional tessellation.

PRODUCTION

PIPELINE

From zbrush-style sculpt to engine-ready asset. Every step done in-house.

HIGH-POLY
SCULPT

Detailed organic sculpt in Blender — muscles, scars, armour damage, facial rage. Millions of polys, zero regrets.

RETOPO &
UV

Clean low-mid poly mesh with efficient UV layout. Game-ready topology that deforms cleanly on the rig.

SUBSTANCE
PAINTER

Full PBR material pass — bake normals, paint wear, build layered smart materials for skin, metal and leather.

RIG &
ANIMATE

ARP rig on the base mesh, weight-painted and exported. Three separate ARP animation exports — idle, slash, and waaagh.

UNREAL
ENGINE 5

FBX import, material setup, animation blueprint integration. Runs in a live UE5 project.

MOTION CAPTURE — NOT REALLY

ANIMATION SET

Three hand-keyed clips. Click a card or use the viewer controls above to preview each animation in the 3D viewport.

STATIC

BIND POSE

 /O\
  |

No animation — rig bind pose only. Best for inspecting mesh, materials and silhouette.

IDLE

LOOP

  o
 /|\
  |

Weight-shift breathing idle. Subtle claw twitch. He is waiting for something to punch.

SLASH

ATTACK

  O
 /X>
  |

Overhead power claw slash. Full body commitment. Armour rattles. Someone is about to have a bad day.

WAAAGH

SPECIAL

 \O/
  |
 / \

Full battle cry charge pose. Arms up, jaw open, maximum aggression. The emissive eyes go hard.

LIVE PREVIEW

The viewer loads the ARP-rigged mesh once, then swaps between the three ARP animation exports. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom. Switch clips with the buttons beneath the viewport.
