About this service

Summary

Hello! My name I am a freelance 3D character artist with over 3 years of experience creating 3D characters for games. I can create any 3D character or creature you want, in any specific style for your next game. I am proficient in ZBrush, Blender, Substance Painter and can work with both Unreal Engine and Unity.

My service includes:

3D modeling

3D texturing

3D rigging

Grooming and hair creation

Process

First we need to stablish the 3D character you need. For this I will need a concept art or sketch of the character and examples of 3D characters that outline the final look of the character you want.

With this I start the high poly modeling and sculpting. I will send you updates of this process so you can give me feedback on the design of the character. This is the longest and most important process

After this, the 3D character needs to be optimized for game engines, so I create a low poly version through retopology. I also prepare the character to be textured by creating UVs

Once the low poly is ready with it's UVs, I can start the baking and texturing process, creating all the textures you need for your 3D character.

After I complete the textures, I can finally create the rig for the character. I use Rigify on Blender to create my rigs, but you can let me know if you prefer a different process for the rigging. I can only deliver rigs through blender.

Finally the model is previewed inside the engine of your choice, Unity or Unreal Engine, and I can start making the necessary tweaks so it looks perfect for you!

FAQs

Can you rig 3D characters?
Yes, I know the basics of 3D rigging and I create them using Blender's Rigify System, which allows basic animation functions. If you need something very complex or too realistic I will highly recommend going with a specialist rigger instead.
Can you animate 3D characters?
No, I just offer to create a 3D rig for them so you can later animate them.
Can you do realistic 3D characters?
Yes! I can create any type of 3D character you need (stylized, cartoony, realistic, anime, etc.)
Can you do other types of 3D models?
Yes! I can also create specific objects or props, not only 3D characters. You can check my other services for that.
