Final project – Foundations Term
This project marks the conclusion of my foundations term at Think Tank Training Centre, and represents a major learning milestone for me.
The goal was to translate a stylized 2D concept into a clean, readable 3D character while balancing exaggerated proportions, strong silhouettes, and hard-surface elements. A big focus throughout the process was maintaining clarity while gradually increasing complexity.
Workflow:
- Modeling & blockout: Maya
- AO & curvature baking: Substance Painter
- Texturing: Mari
- Lighting, compositing & final polish: Nuke & Photoshop
This piece was built using techniques taught during the foundations term and helped solidify my understanding of how modeling, materials, and presentation work together to support strong visual storytelling.
Feedback is always welcome. Thanks for checking it out!
