Hi everyone! I made this character a while ago for the Medieval: Back and Forth -Artstation challenge, but ran out of time and the outcome was too rushed. I finally decided to polish it and show the final result.
The chainmail pattern took a bit of figuring out and I ended up taking advantage of Blenders Geometry nodes for it. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5. Hope you like it!
Check out the awesome original concept by Yuhong Ding:

I made a custom geometry nodes system in Blender for the chain mail. This allowed me to easily control the rotation and alignment of the chains and add randomness to breakup the pattern.
