FORTNITE | SWIFT CHARACTER SKIN

REALLY excited to post my current work at Epic Games.

This character was the first character skin I was responsible for texturing and lookdeving when I started.

The learning curve was steep for me, coming not only from a photoreal film background, but also never having done any real time rendering.

Working with low poly assets and heavily relying on normal maps and vertex ID maps was a whole new world for me.

I am used to working with dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of UDIM tiles and a plethora of secondary map-types, so the transition to a drastically more conservative and restrictive template was a super fun challenge.

And lastly, working in an ultra stylized palette is such a unique and novel challenge for me which I'm finding surprisingly more creatively fulfilling than matching real world reference which I have always loved doing.

Hope you guys like it and have fun with him in the game!
