Visually Unique

Using Maya or Zbrush, A quick block-out of the using characters basic shapes

In Zbrush or any sculpting program, Refine the character with as much detail to the model as possible, every fine detail like folds and creases count.

Depending on the character’s use, either for a game or animation, retopologise and reduce poly count as needed. Often in games, the model should be as optimised at possible.

Using texturing software such as Substance Painter, I create the textures and materials for the character. In majority of texturing programs, you can use the high detail meshes to fake detail on the optimised mesh. This can make a simple mesh look a lot more detailed using less computer resources.

The completed character model can now be brought back into Maya, where I begin rigging the character to animate.

Using the rigged character, I can then animated them in Maya to bring the character to life.

After the animation is complete, I run a quick playblast in Maya. When I am happy with the results I will export the animation out to Unreal to render the final animation
