Star Citizen - Engineer

Hi guys,
This is another asset I have sculpted when I worked on Star Citizen.

These renders were made when I was still working at Cloud Imperium Games.
Since I didn't want to show any unique specific face, this character has been created from scratch.
You will not find this face in game.
Even the name tag on the suit was just a placeholder for testing.

The hairstyle as well was made by me, but not for this character.
It is card based, as every hair style we made for this project.
You may have seen it wandering around in Star Citizen's alpha, and in some fo the latest promotional videos from CIG.

Her engineer toolbelt was meant to be a point of connection and interaction with several visible tools.
The pad, and the gun attached to it are not my assets. They have been created by the Prop team.
Hat is not mine neither, but I tweaked it for this turntables.

This asset has a LONG story:
An exisiting version of the jumpsuit was playable in the alpha, when I arrived in CIG.
It needed to be remade, and the toolbelt, created from scratch.
...It was 2016.

The original idea was that this uniform had to be used from different professionals, onboard of our spaceships.
Engineers, Janitars, and Deckcrews (if you check my Deckcrew asset, you'll notice my first version of this suit is visible underneath the deckcrew uniform) were meant to wear it, and it was meant to be used:
- with or without kneepads and elbowpads
- with or without toolbelt
- when none of these optional parts were on, the front zipper was meant to be half open, revealing the white t-shirt underneath.
Basically, this jumpsuit had his own volume boundaries, disconnected by the rest of the wardrobe assets.
At a certain point I was dealing with 12 variations, considering the 2 different genders, at the same time.

For technical reasons, pipeline refining, and the addition of new features in game, I have been in charge of following this asset, since 2016 to 2022, when I left.

After several reworks and after having overviewed some outsource and internal remaking of this whole asset, I made this last version in 2020.
I had time to finalize the female version and prepare the the base for the male one.
One year later Yarrid Henrard was the artist who finalized it.

Today, Finally, the egnineer functionalities and his new unform have been revealed to the public, and I can show it.

I hope you like it! ^^
