Homeless bluesman
Full CG animation video for the creation of which a full pipeline was passed — from concept art to final implementation.
Vitaly Olegovich is a homeless musician. With his music, he illuminates the dirty alley where he found his home. The only friends he has are a pet rat and a guitar made out of a cigar box.
The work began with the concept art of the character. At this point, the character has acquired stylized proportions.
A high-poly model was created based on the concept. Then, in order, the retopology, UV-scan and textures for the character were performed.
A rig of the character was created for the subsequent animation. He also made the guitar work easier. With it, you can clamp the frets, move your hand along the fretboard, and «pluck» the strings.
A facial rig was also created, which allowed the character to speak and even sing, and sometimes drink some bourbon.
A location was modeled for the character for subsequent rendering in Unreal Engine.
