Modelling Process: Planning: Brainstorming ideas is the first step towards modelling a 3D character, a group typically writes down a list of ideas for a character and what their design will look like, deciding on the attire, colours and features of the character. The final idea is then decided as the one you will go on to visualise and model. Next, sketches/concept art are created as a visualisation of the final idea you decided on and are typically of different angles or different parts of the characters. The final sketch is the design the group has decided to model. The progression of character design from sketches to the final design.

To add more detail and structure to the model subdivision, sculpting and extrusion   is used to a...

The character I will be modelling is for a game we are working on in Unit 65. It is a 1st-person game which means I will be only modelling and animating the arms that the player will see.

The arms of this character are what will be animated and made into the model seen in the game.  Character Visuals: These are the visuals of the character that would be made into animations and actions the pl...
