Game-Ready Character

Apr 2025 – Apr 2025

• Unreal Engine
• Substance Painter
• maya
• rigging
• texturing

Overview

This project focused on creating a fully game-ready 3D character, from concept to in-engine implementation, inspired by a Tamagotchi x Borderlands aesthetic.

Production Pipeline

I handled the complete character pipeline:

• High-poly sculpting in ZBrush
• Retopology and UV unwrapping in Maya
• PBR texturing in Substance Painter
• Rigging and engine integration in Unreal Engine

Technical Implementation

• Optimized geometry and textures for real-time performance
• Executed animation retargeting for reuse across rigs
• Integrated ragdoll physics to enhance interactivity and physical response

Outcome

The final result was a polished, optimized character fully integrated into Unreal Engine.
