Vira

Vira was an exclusive character I made for "I From Japan", but you can now access it dear animators !
I really liked working with them on this new character, I think it's always a long but wonderful job to create and bring a new hero to life, that's where you're the most creative and feels everything is possible =D

You can get the character here : https://flippednormals.com/product/vira-full-rig-4-skins-22781

I made her with :

- Mischief ; Rough concept arts (only grayscale focusing on Vira's shape and values)
- Photoshop ; Finishing concept art, adjusting proportions, getting color scheme done. Minor tweaks on the basecolor texture
- ZBrush ; Sculpt & polypaint (IDMap)
- 3dsMax ; a few hardsurface elements (not all), then retopo + UVW
- 3DCoat ; Texturing (using StarWarsRedemption's smartmaterials)
- Akeytsu : Rigging/Skinning/Posing
- Marmoset Toolbag ; normalmap/IDMap baking & lighting/rendering

Additionally, I took care on her whole integration into UE4 (Physical Asset/Cloth/Shader setup)
