Old work I did for the talented guys at Rmory Studios

They were really kind to provide a solid blueprint for this combat suit which really helped me
to jump right into modeling and finish the piece faster.
Also I need to mention that the gun was also provided by them.I was commissioned to do only the combat suit.

Something that may be of interest is the workflow I used - I made the basemesh in 3dsmax using a more streamlined
SubD modeling technique. I've took advantage of two not so known features - the edge creasing and vertex
weights. Once the basemesh was done I detailed and posed it in zbrush.

In a nutshell:
Create a low-polygon model and set all the edges that you need to be sharp and crisp to be at 1.0 crease value.
To be in greater control of the surface you can also assign weights to the vertices.
After you are done add a turbo smooth modifier. It will preserve the creased edges and the weights and in the same
time smooth the rest of the surfaces. When you have a decent amount of mesh density trow in one more turbo
smooth in the stack to omit the cg looking perfect edges and round them too.

I'll promise to post a super mini tutorial on this next week or sooner, so stay tuned !
