Lowpoly Game Character
Gondor Footsoldiers
(2021)
Since I am a huge fan of the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy and I loved playing the “Battle for Middle-Earth” games back in the days, I tried to create my own version of game ready lowpoly gondor footsoldiers that could be used in a strategy game.
I decided to focus on three unit types. The spearmen, archers and infantry because they share the same armor and differ only through their gear and weapons. The head and the rig is based on the Character Creator 3 basemesh.
To create the armor and the other assets I used a mix of, Cinema 4D, Zbrush, Blender and Substance Painter
To create the gear and the weapons I had to gather many pictures as reference material. As with the armor I used Cinema 4D, Blender and Substance Painter.
