I began working on this in the middle of February. I was told by my producer to try and combine the sleekness of the suit from The Martian, with the weightiness that comes from official Nasa suits. In addition to these, I also used the Lost Planet games as a source of inspiration.
The model was animated by Brandon Colley, who allowed me to post the animation with the model. Knowing that this was going to be animated from the very start was a new experience for me. We both learned a lot from one another in this process.
Texturing this model allowed me to finally learn Substance Painter, and I think I might have fallen in love. Even though my model wasn’t optimized for it, I still was able to make something that surpassed my old texture in just a couple of hours. I will defeineyntly be incorporating it into my workflow for future projects.
