Gladiator

3d Character Model

3D Character Model

This gladiator is a personal project I used to explore a combat character design. It was modeled first in Mudbox, and then later in Zbrush and 3ds Max. I posed the model in 3ds Max and the renders are real-time screens using the Marmoset real-time engine. I created a full upper-body armor set. The helmet design is from the film ‘Gladiator’.

Male Characters

Earlier in my career, I was mostly tasked with female characters. In 2005 I was asked to work with the WWE property and I saw that as a great chance to build some male fighting characters. This gladiator project was a good way to develop those skills. I was, of course, inspired by a few films, namely Gladiator, Troy, and 300.
