Troll - Lord of the Rings

Rendered in Sketchfab. Surprised me that none of the other render engines at my disposal could do SSS better than Sketchfab (for PBR materials at least).

My first proper attempt at a character, as well as my first proper crack at sculpting. It’s a troll from LOTR, with some slight creative liberties taken; the trolls in the films aren’t quite so jacked. Looking to animate it as well, and add another version with armor, but that will have to wait. I have to figure out how in the world i export out the pose space deformations before i can add animations to it.

Sculpted in 3D-Coat, retopo in Maya, rigged & posed in Maya, textured & baked in Substance Painter.
