In Rough/Metal PBR workflow, black (0.0) defines the smoothest surfaces and white (1.0) defines roughest surfaces. For example, the eyebrows are painted in white because I don't want any reflection on it.Īfter finishing the textures, I exported all the maps in PBR Metal Roughness preset to use them in Marmoset Toolbag 2, a real-time rendering application. Please note that you might need to change some settings in Marmoset Toolbag 2 in order to use texture maps exported from Substance Painter. I baked a curvature map from the hi-poly and using it as a base roughness. I also created an adjustment layer "Levels" to tweak the roughness. I add a dirt layer to bring out the "survival" feel.I add some subtle imperfections such as freckles, moles, and scars to breathe life into her. In real life, these color zones are very subtle, so I set the opacity value of those layers to very low (4-13%).


Yellow/Golden forehead, Blue/Teal under the eyes and chin, Red cheeks and nose, Pink lips. I create different layers and painting the face with those colors. Human skin is divided into three color zones: Yellow, Red, and Blue.

Because I had to make her look older, and also nailing the likeness. I began to gather references as much as possible. Lighting & Real-time Rendering in Marmoset Toolbag 2įor this Ellie fanart project, her face is the key, and also the most challenging part in the whole process.I believe that Naughty Dog has been working on the next sequel and it will take them years to do, so she should be around 18-20 years old when the game comes out. I really like the character Ellie in the video game "The Last of Us" by Naughty Dog, and I have always been curious how she would look like in the next sequel. She is 14 years old in the game and I wanted to do something different, so I decided to make an older version of her. I'm sorry if you couldn't find the information you are looking for. I can't go into details for everything unfortunately due to time constraints. This is just an overview, not an in-depth tutorial. Many people were asking me about the process of making my Ellie fanart so I decided to do a breakdown for this character.
