DESCRIPTION
Create game-ready asset from the Concept slide.

Texturing (Substance Painter)
You are free to use any modeling software you like, however, please take notes of the final deliveries formats:
ZTL Zbrush for highpoly model
Maya .ma scene with lowpoly mesh
Substance Painter scene
Screenshots of each stage. Upload all folders separately and don’t compress them into one archive.
CONCEPT
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
STAGE 1. HIGHPOLY
Please pay attention to the basic proportions and the way different plates of armor are attached to each other.
All damage and noise should be present in layers, try to do exactly as much damage as it is on the references, the materials should feel slightly used.
Feel free to search for additional references and add them to your delivery pack if you do so.
Don’t add surface details such as fabric pattern or leather pattern on highpoly, it will be batter to add such details on textures later.
Delivery
Please make HighPoly folder on Google Drive and upload ZTL file (AssetName.ztl) with highpoly model and ONE jpg file with 8-angle good quality screenshots (AssetName.jpg).
Basic Material should be assigned to the model.
STAGE 2. LP\UV\BAKE
Polycount – 15k tris;
Parts of the object that are poorly or not visible at all should be collapsed for polygon economy;
Good practice is to make an additional edge in angles 90° or less;
Unwrap the entire object into a single texture: no symmetrical details, unique, no Texel density restrictions, minimum amount of empty space on the UVs;
Format NM – Direct X;
Texture size – 4096×4096.
Delivery
Create LowPoly folder in google drive and upload the following files to it:
.ma file with lowpoly mesh;
1 jpg file with 4-angle good quality wireframe screenshots;
1 jpg file with UV screenshot and the model with checker texture assigned to it (4 angles).
Create Bakes folder in google drive and upload the following files to it:
Substance file with AO and Normal Map baked;
1 jpg with 4 angle screenshot of a shaded model (50% grey albedo, 50% roughness, 0 metallic shader assigned to it);
1 jpg with 4 angle screenshot of Normal Map in 3d view;
1 jpg with 4 angle screenshot of AO in 3d view.
When reviewing this step we’ll pay attention to:
UV. Filled density and texel density. Stretches. Padding;
Quality of Normal Map, AO;
Polycount, topology.
STAGE 3. TEXTURING
Within the test assignment you should prepare a full set of maps
Use metal-roughness workflow in Substance Painter;
Texture size – 4096×4096;
At this stage you need to make ready asset look as similar to the reference as possible;
All materials should look slightly used;
Delivery
Create Textures folder in google drive and upload the following files to it:
Substance file with the textured model;
1 jpg file with 4-angle good quality screenshots.
At this step we’ll pay attention to your ability:
to create materials and their properties;
to work with new or slightly used materials;
to create a variety of colors within each material;
to draw accents, a sense of composition within a single asset.
