Link

I sculpted in ZBrush this Link's awakening character version based on a collectible I used as a reference. As an Art and 3D teacher, I create bunches of tutorials and courses all the way, then here is a sample. I always pick subjects, or choose characters I think students would like to work on, to make students learning with pleasure, it's really important to me in my classes. Then, I chosed Link as it's a simple character in its overall shape, but also showing a mix of organic sculpting and hard surfaces, then a very good way also to introduce the Zmodeler technics. During classes and Through this Link 3D character creation process, I clearly explaine and make demo on the video projector of these following key steps : model sheet, sculpting, retopology, UV's unfolding, texturing, set up, animation (here I used Mixamo to keep it simple) and the 3D rendering.

Mario is definitely one of my lifelong fav character, and I'm happy to present my work on this guy here, including, High def sculpting and the retopology low def using ZBrush. Showed in blue and orange coulour it's the HD version exported from ZBrush I rendered into Key shot and the retopology low def as a final rendering here in colour textured in Substance 3D Pt and rendered in Iray.

PLANET OF THE APES - THE MINIATURES BOARDGAME

I created all the miniatures, apes and soldiers for this game, and lots of the 2D graphics. This project is still in production and should be upcoming in 2024. All the characters are based on the observation I made while binge watching many times the movies and also thanks to all the references the 20th Century Fox shared with me, like all the turn table created by Weta Digital, which were a great support to my 3D conception and adaptation of the film characters into small table top game pieces.

Happy to share this 3D asset I made in ZBrush and Substance 3D. Here again an object I chosed to teach students some 3D hard surface technics and some procedural texturing. So here is the final visual version of the related course rendered in Iray and also Marmoset Toolbag. When I run my class I show all the process using a video projector or when it's online teaching all I explain is directly visible with screen sharing.

Here is a collectible I created from scratch, and after my own concept art and love for this character using ZBrush. As Dragon Ball Z is one of my childhood fav anime. I had such a great time sculpting this piece in 2014, then one of my oldies. I remember I struggled at this thime making the cloud in volume because there used to be only 2D ref and nothing more, as there were not a lot of merch and collectibles of Son Goku molded back in the days.

I created the minis for this game released, based on the specifications I received.

I created some of the merch pieces for this game using 3D scultping and printing technologies and my traditional art and molding skills. I'm happy to share with you pix of this released game so that we can appreciate through these visuals its very High end and polished quality in all the ways. Also I had been fortunate to work with 2 awesome and talented Illustrators FORTIFEM, you can see on the last pic they are on the wooden floor almongst their kraft. As I'm in admiration for their graphic art and as I think it's valuable to be working with great artists, I posted the illustrations they created on the cards and packaging as well as it gives a better idea of the overall game quality, they made a colored versions and also black and white, I really like the rendering of this project created by Maxime Le Dain and published by Bragelonne Games.

Here is a low poly car I sculpted after my own concept art I designed like you can see at the bottom of this page. I made a model sheet inspired by my concept art directly in Adobe Photoshop, and then I used it in ZBrush as a base for the sculpting, then I checked the retopology and the UV's, and I prepared all the materials in Autodesk Maya before I exported the mesh to Substance 3D Pt and then I Baked the input map and textured it. The point here was to approach through a tutorial I created for school the Bitmap mask technics and to be working using Adobe Photoshop combined with Pt, and some good ZBrush technics and workflow organisation as well.

I like buggy cars a lot, then I created this buggy from scratch using many reference pix of this type of cars. I used Blender for all the poly modeling and the UV's process, and I used Substance 3D Pt for baking the input maps and for texturing, I used also ZBrush to sculpt parts with higher levels of details to be kept in the NM. Then I created the number plate graphics in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Then I tested some HDR environment maps, and made some 3D rendering using Iray. I really wanted to reproduce this sparkle blue painting of the cars I took reference from.

Here is the Lapin Crétin I created after the famous Ubisoft game character I like it so much! Then I wanted to reproduce Ubisoft technics and Art here to create another course for the Art and 3D class I teach at E-Tribart and ESRA. So here is presented the full process, as I used ZBrush for the sculpting + retopology and also UV's in Blender, Texturing in Substance 3D Pt, Rigging and skinning in Blender, and finaly I created a short animated sequence in Unreal Engine 5 with also some post-process effect I created to make this short clip look cool. I made also the video editing in Adobe premiere pro adding the original soundtrack of the raving rabbids I downloaded.

Here are some miniatures I created based on my concept art for the board game Battle Zone. I worked in ZBrush for the sculpting and used the same technics than ones used at Avalanche Software for the creation of the Disney Infinity figures which have always been a great inspiration for me in terms of Design and game idea. I also used Keyshot for the 3D rendering. I also designed some trading cards game as showed.
