Hunter named Striker. All heads are scanned digital-doubles by VA face team & ND. Characterized heads by me. Colleen Larson prototyped Striker initially. New final iteration of him by me & mostly in-house. Most all feedback by Darcy Korch.

I cleaned up scans, sculpted hipoly, constructed lowpoly meshes for main parts, generated uvs, bakes, textures, shaders, integration. Henry Hsu generated a base hooded sweater that I generated many geo/texture/shader variants from for various characters.

ND/OS artists originally created the arms, beard base mesh/textures/shaders. I ported the beard for use on NPCs & made many custom variations in mesh/texture/shader of both the beard+arms for the many characters populating the world.

Hunter that drags Joel from the 4x4 truck onto the pavement. Initial head work by VA face team & tattoo line arts by Hailey Del Rio.

Hunter looks. Hard armors (gas masks & helmets) were worked on by ND/OS then ported by Henry Hsu/Cheyne Hessler. I did updates to the lenses. Colleen Larson characterized the head on the far right; additional characterization on top by me.

Additional hunter looks characterized from head to toe with custom posing.

Nick Rutlinh & Henry Hsu initially helped with a couple of hunter looks during alpha. I worked on all the final hunters, 33 total. Here are some of them captured in-engine. Needless to say, this was a huge team effort across many disciplines!

A marauder I worked on that took a spotlight in the character viewer. All weapons are made by object/hard surface modelers.

A marauder in the middle & two cannibal looks on the sides. For cannibals, in additional to regular characterization, snow masks were also generated & setup in shader for design.

One of the two cannibal men Joel captures & tortures to pinpoint Elllie's location. Jacob Regan did head scan; I characterized. For blood mask, Nick Rutlinh did an initial pass; I did final pass & integration.

Smuggler combat tutorial crew. Colleen Larson worked on the left smuggler's head; I did his head's final look through geo/texture/shader updates. Hailey Del Rio generated all tattoo line arts, including his; I did coloring & integration.

Select smuggler looks characterized from head to toe with custom posing by me. Left beard was OS, then through Darcy Korch's direction, made a number of adjustments, variations & implementation.

Smugglers (part ii). There's even more smugglers I made. But these are just some of my favs! Again, weapons were done by hard surface/object modelers.

Henry Hsu helped with some of the Smugglers initially during alpha. I worked on all the final Smugglers visible in-game, 24 total. Here are some of them captured in-engine. Needless to say, this was a huge team effort across many disciplines!

Narrative damage. Numerous character looks I worked on required this pass. Here is just one example (a bullet to the head).

Franchise shirts: textures & shaders

Military backpack: hipoly cleanup/sculpting, lopoly cage, uvs, textures, shader. Button-up denim shirt: textures & shader

Torsos can be some of the most important elements when putting together a fully-bodied character. Here's a sampler plate of a few favorites I worked on from a smuggler, hunter, & clicker.

Clothing sculpting examples. Many were created often from scans > cleaned up > minor to major proportional changes > then sculpted on top.

First asset I worked on for the project. On some occasions, like in this case, I got to take an asset through the whole pipeline: clean up scan, sculpt, construct lowpoly, uvs, bake textures, characterize geo/textures, setup shader, implementation.
