Touchdown

Troy "Touchdown" Dalton is one of the central characters in Crime Boss: Rockay City (2023), featuring the likeness and voice of Michael Rooker. The character presents a younger, battle-hardened interpretation of the actor while preserving a clearly recognizable likeness.

◆ CONTRIBUTION
I was responsible for the complete head asset — likeness sculpting, textures, hair and facial hair, and six progressive injury variations. The main challenge was translating Michael Rooker’s present-day appearance into a substantially younger version without losing his defining facial features.
The asset went through nearly six months of iterative refinement and approval rounds involving the development studio, Michael Rooker, and his representatives, totaling 176 hours of hands-on production work.

▸ Hair maps: albedo, alpha, normal, roughness, variation, anisotropy direction, root mask, lightmap, depth
▸ Six progressive injury variations featuring bruises, cuts, bandages, adhesive dressings, and other damage details
▸ Additional geometry per injury variation: ~130 to ~13.5K tris
