3D Character Modeling - Showreel - Nikaido / Starfire

Left: Turn Fully textured and rendered / Right: Turn Grey

This Starfire sculpt was modeled after the Sideshow Collectibles figure, originally made by Steve Lord. This was my very first character where I followed a given workflow. From blocking to texturing and rendering, the entire process was really fun and I invested myself fully into this project, which gave me my first taste for 3D Character modeling.

Blocking Process

For Nikaido, the hardest part was to sculpt a stylized character based on very few references. This character had no figure for me to use, I had to take many screenshots from the series. The anime being done CGI style, it was difficult to assess the proportions and volume of the model.

For these two projects, I used Zbrush, 3DSmax, Substance Painter for texturing and Vray for Rendering. I still have a lot to learn from these softwares but as time goes by I feel like I'm improving a lot.
