Working with the Full Sail Flight Crew, this position involves high-poly sculpting in ZBrush, Maya retopology, and Substance texturing a stylized storybook character with supporting props for a 3D print statue.

--Overview This position involves developing two character assets regarding ZBrush high-poly sculpting, Maya retopology, and Substance Painter texturing to be prepared for rigging and animation. This includes modeling hard surface props, clothing simulation in Marvelous Designer, Arnold lighting and rendering, Nuke compositing, and Maya rigging. Working closely with the art director, assets are evaluated during dailies, and necessary changes are made according to industry standards. This position also involves working with current students in critiquing their work, teaching new workflows, and troubleshooting software.--Breakdown1.) Stego-Soldier film asset. Completed a second pass on retopology iterating on producing more efficient edge loops and retaining a clear silhouette. Continued to build a UDIM layout for all props, clothing, and character assets while maintaining clear organization of UV sets. Imported into Substance Painter to hand paint all character assets while studying techniques to build more appealing PBR textures for the clothing regarding adding subtle detail. Rendered using Arnold inside of Maya before compositing within Nuke using a depth pass and accompanying color grading to support emission and smoke cards.2.) Oni, game asset. In reaction to Balder's Gate 3 being released, the Oni is a highly realistic character named Koharu. Banished from their homeland in the East, this mighty creature has begun marking its territory in Western Europe by taking the heads of its kings, This model involved studying realistic human anatomy and facial features and pushing them to encapsulate a sense of strength. Clothing has been sculpted in ZBrush while weaponry and hard surface assets were modeled in Maya. Retopology has also been completed. The current plan is to export the assets back into Zbrush for added tertiary detail and final adjustments before moving forward with hand-painted texturing, generating hair cards, and exporting into the Unreal Engine.
