I would only be rendering one character (instead of dozens, like in the XCom games), so my focus was more on visual fidelity than tight optimization. I wanted to push the details as far as I could, so I ultimately used 4 texture sets and the Substance Suite for a crisp, final model.

As I started texturing, I pulled heavily from the original game’s designs, but I was also heavily inspired by “amphibious” skin: the wet, translucent material struck me as both fragile and alien—perfect for the look I was going for. (Plus, the Sectoid’s implants and Psi energy probably generate lots of heat: which also fit well with the glossy, "sweaty" look I was going for)

Final Polycount: 10,390 Triangles
Texture sets: 4 (head, arms, torso, weapon)
