3D character

This 3D character is the first 3D character that I created using Maya 2023. My inspiration for this project came from researching various anime characters. This particular character, which I became interested in, was designed by an artist of Asian origin. Unfortunately, I was not able to find out his name.

​

Starting this project, I wanted to transition from my comfort zone of hard surface modelling into the more intricate world of character design. Preferring Maya due to its familiarity, I embarked on the project with a determination to expand my skill set within the software. Down to the fact that I did not have a clear roadmap, I made multiple unsuccessful attempts before finally achieving the desired outcome.

Throughout this project, I learned the fundamental principles of character modelling within Maya and became aware that there is plenty of room for improvement, particularly in the creation of heads, where the detailing falls short. Reflecting on this experience, I now have a groundwork that will smooth the way for the creation of more refined models in my future projects.
