MY APPROACH HELPED TO IMBUE THE CHARACTER WITH LIVELINESS AND EMOTION
AAA-STANDARD CHARACTERS This project let me explore organic materials like leather and metal, and experiment with my texturing variations. Colour is a crucial tool when you’re bringing materials to life; when used properly with roughness, metal will become colourful yet remain grey, allowing you to achieve a warmer or colder look.
