Realistic Game-Ready Tactical Character

***** Game-Ready 3D Character (Low-Poly and High-Poly) *****
We are seeking an experienced 3D character artist to create a realistic, game-ready male tactical character based on the provided reference images (front, back, side, face reference images).
The character must be suitable for real-time gameplay, cinematics and modern game engines (like Unreal, Unity and Godot).

***** Requirements: *****

**Low-Poly Game Model**
• Triangle Count: 25k–40k triangles (LOD0)
• Clean topology, animation-ready
• Optimized for Unreal Engine / Unity
• Quad-based topology where possible; no n-gons
• Proper edge flow for deformation (face, shoulders, elbows, knees)

**Cinematic High-Poly Model**
• High-poly sculpt for close-ups and cinematics.
• cinematic render mesh: 100k–250k triangles

**High-Poly Model**
• High-poly sculpt for baking.
• 300k–1.5M polygons (ZBrush / Blender sculpt)

**LODs (Required)**
• LOD0: 25k–40k triangles (hero gameplay)
• LOD1: ~60% of LOD0
• LOD2: ~35% of LOD0
• LOD3: ~15–20% of LOD0
• Clean LOD transitions, no shading artifacts or normal artifacts.

**Texturing (PBR)**
• Realistic PBR style matching reference images
• Texture Resolution: 4K textures preferred (2K acceptable)
• Required Maps:
o Base Color
o Normal
o Roughness
o Metallic
o Ambient Occlusion (AO)
• Consistent material definition across the character
• No baked lighting in albedo

**UVs**
• Clean, non-overlapping
• Efficient UV packing
• Consistent texel density
• Engine-ready UV layout

**Deliverables**
• Low-poly game mesh (FBX)
• High-poly sculpt (ZBrush/Blender)
• Cinematic PBR texture set
• Complete PBR texture set
• LODs (LOD0-LOD3)
• Optional: Fully rigged character compatible with unreal Engine 5 Mannequin (UE5 mannequin compatible)

**Submission Requirements**
- Game character portfolio (ArtStation preferred)
- Examples of real-time game characters
- Experience with Unreal Engine or Unity is a plus

Please share game character portfolio with your proposal
