Check Out Warhammer Space Marine Animated in Blender

Take a look at this Blender animation of a Warhammer Space Marine created by a talented 3D Artist Ali Hoff. 

The creator shared some technical details about creating the artwork in the comments. For instance, the character's helmet consists of several parts, which facilitates its creation according to the artist. The challenges included balancing the armor, as the creator wanted to make the character look in control of the weapon rather than bouncing it.

A diffuse shader to RGB was used to define the shadow. Then, this was used as a factor to mix the shader's color with the same color, combined with plugging a Hue/Saturation node and mixing set to color with a touch of blue to get the shadows on one input. According to the artist, this method allows for having a pattern or a texture rather than a flat color. As for the highlight, the creator used a glossy shader to RGB and a lighter color to the main one.

Recently, the artist shared another take on a warrior, also made in Blender:
