German Gothic Plate Armor

German gothic plate has always been my favorite design of high medieval plate armor. I would have created this sooner but I wanted to wait until I felt that I had the ability to do it justice. That time has finally come!

I created this model with the intent for game use, so there is a high and low poly model with the low poly specifically designed to be as low as possible while keeping a decent level of detail. I then baked the additional details onto this low poly for better efficiency in game engine. I created the low poly in Maya and then moved to Zbrush to add sculpted details for the high poly. I baked and textured the model in Substance Painter and then returned to Maya to render with Arnold using several area lights.
