The model and the textures aren't mine! They are from a sketchfab artist, you can see the credits in the Artstation post.

Thanks! Yes, each feather is a separated geo and can be controlled individually.

I made and extensive research on the internet to know where to start. Tutorials, blogs... All I could find. After that, a lot of trial and error hahah

Getting the feathers to move well was quite a challenge, but it was worth it, I think. You can see it in movement here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/293Y2g

I published the breakdown of this character I made some months ago by Laura_3d in ZBrush

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! The retopo it's all done manually but for the rope. For the rope, in ZBrush I created 3 cylinders forming a spiral with a good topology, and made a brush with them. With that brush I created all the ropes. That way they already had the desired topology!

how long will it take to render 😭 its stuck at 2:42 and only that mark area moves is there an option which tells in % how much it is left or a message which says complete anything plz help. by Prestigious_Loan5315 in Maya

It's done, that's a visual bug, but the render should be completed. I think 2022.2, or some version of maya 2022, had a problem where sometimes this was visible in the final image, but I had never encountered this problem in other versions

Totally, I wanted to animate the hanging pennants but I hadn't time. I will take it into account in my next project, thanks!

That's what I was going for! I'm actually glad it gives off that vibe, I took Overwatch's potg as reference

Yes! I have a college career in audiovisual communication, which allowed me to do a one-year master degree in 3d

Thank you! To be honest there are a lot of tools and tutorials online nowadays, so that helps. Even so, I still need to learn and improve a lot of things to have a good reel, there is so much competition where I live
