Description
well its been a long road but heres one for you marvel fans out there, the incredible hulkthis all started when I found that my male characters were always very weedy and anime looking [no offence anime fans]
so to beef up my 3D male characters I thought I should try modelling a character that's as muscular as possible, and the hulk is what sprung to mind.
as a plus i now know the anatomy of human being much better now

I think this captures the essence of the character perfectly.

surprisingly enough the textures weren't even done in photoshop either, there all projected in zbrush and just changed the colour in photoshop.

Love the render! Can i ask you what technique you used to get the "low" poly count? I'm very curious as you seem not to have used displacement and i've been trying to eliminate displacement wothout losing detail/edge flow...

lol 15K is low for this gen for most games 
to make this model I started in zbrush and used dynamesh to get everything started like the muscles and stuff, after I finished with all the details in zbrush [which I wont go into]
I take the high poly model into a program called 3D coat which is a program mainly for retopologising high poly meshes into low poly ones, all I need to do is draw lines here and there and hit auto-top once that's done I remove edges, add edges, redo some sections and get rid of N-gons this creates a low poly that is very close in shape to the high poly which allowed me to create a very effective normal map.
I created the normal map using xNormal as its faster and simply works better than max or maya at transfers, and it also transfers poly painting from models exported from zbrush too
I don't really use displacement maps cause they tend to ruin everything as they seem to affect geometry horribly =/ normal maps not change your model at all and only affect the render or at real time
hope this answered your awesome awesome comment

can you upload an unmapped version? just to show the polygons?

sure, ill make an update with the wire frame and untextured as well so both the normals and polygons can be seen

Dude, GREAT job!
It looks a little stylized, but really awesomely so.
Are the textures hand-painted or did you use photo reference? Just wondering, because the skin looks absolutely fantastic!

Thanks for commenting
I wanted him to resemble the comic version of the hulk because I didn't like either of the films ones they were just missing something so this is why he's a little stylised but I may have got the legs a bit large =\
As for the textures they were entirely done in zbrush by poly painting photos onto the model then where adjusted the colour in photoshop this made it very easy to get the normal map in the right place too

I think his legs work, looks very nice and makes him look intimidating!
Oh, that's so cool. I haven't gotten to use zbrush yet, but I'm so excited to try it out. Hearing this from you only makes me even more excited about it. I had no idea you could paint in it as well. .__.

you can pretty much do everything in zbrush now max is becoming more and more redundant and turning into an animation and rigging program for me
trust me now that zbrush has dynamesh and fibermesh there's no limit to what you can sculpt, you should definitely give it a whirl

It sounds so cool! I know I have a course in it during year 2, I really can't wait. Sadly, we don't have access to the program until year two, but I've heard Autodesks Mudbox offers similar features, have you tried it?. I am so excited about making good looking normal maps and start making more advanced highpolys.

nah i havent used mudbox, no need really when zbrush is the more supported program. i recommend that you get your hands on xNormal as well as that will transfer your normal maps and poly painting data from zbrush and make them into maps automatically they are a wonderful combination

that's amazing!
