Personal Character<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We created our own 3D characters using Maya, Substance Painter, and ZBrush. It was a long process since each program functioned differently, and switching between them was a challenge. I liked Maya the most because it was the simplest and the one we spent the most time working with. ZBrush, on the other hand, was frustrating\u2014it felt like sculpting with clay, but controlling the divisions of the character was incredibly difficult. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how my final character turned out. Considering how messy my Maya file looked at first, I wasn\u2019t expecting much, but in the end, it came out better than I anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through this project, I furthered my skills in Autodesk Maya, Substance Painter, and ZBrush, learning more about the process of creating original 3D models. Rigging the character was challenging, especially with weight painting, and balancing the level of detail in ZBrush while managing the number of faces was tricky. If I could change something, it would be the jacket design. It feels a bit too basic and plain, and I\u2019d like to create something more interesting in the future. Overall, I\u2019m proud of this project because it was the longest and most complex piece I\u2019ve worked on so far. While it may not be my best work, it\u2019s an important step in developing my skills in creating 3D character models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
