Hello everyone!
Introducing my latest character: Fiery Mace, a name inspired by his weapon.
I dedicated over 100 hours to crafting this character to achieve a high-quality result. The journey began in ZBrush, where I sculpted the initial form before moving on to Retopology. Once that step was complete, I transitioned the model into Maya to further refine it. Then, I brought it back to ZBrush to construct the remaining parts of the character in Lowpoly.
After ensuring all sections were built, I started the Highpoly phase, adding intricate details to enhance its realism. Once satisfied with the results, I returned to Maya to begin UV Mapping. After wrapping up the UV work, I segmented the model into different Texture Sets before exporting it to Substance Painter for baking.
During the Texturing process in Substance Painter, I frequently exported textures and tested the model in Marmoset Toolbag to observe it in real-time. Once I was happy with the final appearance, I exported all textures from Substance Painter and proceeded to Rigging the character. After rigging, I posed the model, exported it from Maya, and then transferred it to Marmoset Toolbag for lighting, camera setup, animations, and final rendering.
These were the core steps in creating this character—though simplified, I hope they provide insight into the process!
Wishing you all success!
