New design as old chest piece wouldn't allow the arm to function correctly

I sculpted the scar and arm muscles and deleted by accident!! Spent 1 hour trying all sorts of delete finders on PC, Then re-sculpted in about 30 mins and better...maybe things do happen for a reason....NOT !!

Building up new mesh with Armour detail from concept

Concept by Sidney Thibault

This time i took a different approach to the modeling, instead of building everything up in ZBrush which i find makes it harder to low res after, i spent more time modeling it in Maya first...



New mesh completed and ready for ZBrush

Mesh Part Breakdown

Week 1. Preparing Model Mesh

Firstly i decided to re-mesh my last project as the torso and legs are fine for what i need according to the concept art done by team member Sidney Thibault. I started by deleting the head and hands as these two parts of my mesh where an issue last time. I rebuilt the head (fig 1) and hands and checked the scale against a reference chart (fig 2).

Figure 1

Figure 2

Just to verify My new "Trooper Character" is not Emilius (my last character) Admittedly i did use some of his original base mesh....Explained below

Looking back over Emilius it was clear that my anatomy was miles off and the head was to small and out of proportion...

Head has no ears or nose which created endless problems last time building later

Also serious scaling issues on his hands being far to big
