Houdini rigging

Import of and assembly of ZBrush elements, UV layout and rigging, with the goal to conserve a very low but subdivide friendly geometry.

The array meshe parts from ZBrush had to be remade in Houdini in order to be more easily rigged, and required to be all individuals (no instances) so they all have their own UVs (and specific textures)

UV layout

defining of bevel edges

final assembly export for texturing

Substance Designer

Substance Painter

Classic work of texturing via Substance Painter.

Use of instance layers for red color accross parts, and anchor Layer for scratches reacting to normal details layer.
Maps exported in Unreal Engine 4 preset, so can be used in both HighEnd and Realtime Renderers.

same for "turbines"

and reactors

Final Render

Back to Houdini with Redhift (PBR worlflow).

…with a tip to show Redshift textures in display.
