This will be my WIP for the Animated Character - CC Digital Human Contest 2020. Malecius is my brother's D&D character. My goal for this project is to take a character from concept to game-ready, and then implement him in a UE4 project; all within 2 months!

Below are my references!

I will be posting the same things on my Artstation Account: https://bradyrigg.artstation.com/blog/WdlY/malecius-the-shadow-monarch-cc-digital-human-contest-2020

My goal for this project is to take a character from concept to game-ready, and then implement him in a UE4 project; all within 2 months! I am currently done with the sculpt and working on the retopo. This post will contain part one, setting up the base mesh in CC3. I have recorded my entire process, I just need to edit it all.

Here is where I stand currently. Need to fix up the cloth physics, and then create hair. Also need to look into setting up emission glow and SSS. I have tomorrow off, so expect several YouTube videos to be release on how I got to this point!
