Lil' Robot

Finally, I took the model into Substance Stager for rendering. As I had never used this software before, I wasn't sure what to expect but I found that it was actually super useful for tweaking some of my textures and it had really great features for producing some nice looking renders. After rendering, I took the image into Photoshop briefly to add some minor post-processing and add the additional text/logo.

Next, I took the model into Substance Painter for baking and texturing. At this stage the model was now almost fully textured and ready to be taken into Substance 3D Stager for any final tweaks and rendering.

The initial model was created mainly in Maya with the arms added in Zbrush. I decided to design this little guy organically by taking initial inspiration from some reference images I found online and then creating my own design that was intended to be cute and endearing. At this stage the model was fully uv unwrapped and ready to be taken into the Substance apps for texturing.
