This week was the final push to get my character finished. This week I cleaned up the low poly, better UV, texture creation, and posing. I was able to get the low poly down to 12k a little high as feel but more acceptable then 30k.
This week I played around with creating custom materials in UE5 using Grunge/Alpha Maps and adding parameters to scale.
This week we focused on Resurfacing and UV'ing. I was attempted to use basic shapes to make the low poly of the zoni. I found that using quad draw was still the best way to make the low poly of these objects. The low poly came in at 60k a bit to high I feel.

This project I used different HDRI images to light my scene and wanted to try and create a few different feeling lighting set up for the same building. Here are some of my favorite shots.
I created a final sculpt based on a reference of a Zoni from Rachet & Clank. This was one of my first attempts modeling a character in Zbrush from scratch. This project allowed to me get more comfortable with the interface and modeling techniques on Zbrush.
