For this exclusive fan project, I designed and developed a realistic 3D recreation of Kairyu-Shin, the iconic Sea Monster from Yu-Gi-Oh!, bringing it to life through high-fidelity modeling, texturing, and environment design. This project stands as the only existing 3D animation and visualization of the Kairyu-Shin character available online—crafted exclusively for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans and collectors of fan-based cinematic art.

The pipeline combined Blender for modeling, sculpting, and rigging, Substance Painter for PBR texturing and material detailing, and Unreal Engine 5 for real-time rendering, lighting, and cinematic environment creation. The scene was designed with attention to ocean realism, dynamic lighting, and atmospheric VFX, resulting in a cinematic-quality render that blends fantasy and realism.

This project showcases mastery in 3D character development, environment composition, and next-gen rendering, pushing the boundaries of fan-made visual storytelling within the Unreal Engine ecosystem.
