Year 2 Core Project: Specialist Pathway (Character modelling) The character is from a russian music video as seen here: Leningrad ft. Gluk’oZа (ft. ST) Ju-Ju https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-GQDCtt1Vk&ab_channel=%D0%9B%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%7CLeningrad This has been one huuuuge undertaking, easily the most difficult thing I've made so far. Teaching myself Zbrush during the year has been incredibly fun but also daunting task, but i think im finally getting the hang of it. Process pictures above show my full process including my reference images, modelling in zbrush, decimation and finally renders in zbrush. As a bonus I also took the model into Substance and slapped a coat of paint on it for fun! The entire modelling process was a combination of Zpheres for the base, masking extracting and re-topologizing and of course sculpting with a variety of brushes. Mostly the standard, with only 1 brush being downloaded as an extra.

This project’s a challenging one but it’s been really fun so far (despite the fact my sleep is messed beyond repair at this point because of it >:U ). I’ll probably be changing my mind on that once I start working more on the UVs though. T-T
