The Riddler - Sculpt
For my Advanced 3D Modelling course, I got the chance to create a game-ready character asset of my favorite character-- Paul Dano’s Riddler. I sculpted him in Zbrush, made his clothes in Marvelous Designer, retopologized in Autodesk Maya, made his hair in XGen, manually textured in Substance Painter, then finally rendered and shot in Marmoset Toolbag.
