Creation
Chris's body, clothes, and hair were modeled purely in Autodesk Maya. All texturing was done Adobe Substance 3D Painter. Rigging was done in Maya with the help of the Advanced Skeleton 5 plug-in.
On the other hand, while David is mostly modeled in Maya, his shirt and pants were created in Marvelous Designer. His textures were also completed in Adobe Substance 3D Painter. While I would like to rig him from scratch, for the sake of the class his rig and pose were done with the help of Mixamo.
About
These characters were a part of my thesis pre-production class. I was required to model, texture, rig, and render out a turntable for both characters, although my professor did recommend that we use Mixamo for the second one.
Chris (left) and David (right) are two characters for a story created by my fellow student and friend Hayden Glover. Chris is a queer, Christian man who is not yet comfortable in his identity. He is of Ukrainian descent but was born and raised in Midwestern America. David, on the other hand, is a queer, Filipino man who grew up in a more progressive city and is therefore much more confident in his identity.
We wanted Chris's nervous, insecure demeanor to contrast with his bigger build while David is scrawny yet sure of himself.
