It's been while since I've posted, so I thought I'd share a WIP of a project I've been working on! This has been on a hiatus since I've started my most recent project, but I've been planning on this project for a while now and and want to return to this afterwards. The character is Amir from the manga Otoyomegatari (A Bride's Story) by Kaoru Mori, which is an incredible series that I highly recommend! I'm going a less anime-styled route with my project, but still keeping it more on the stylized side.
First I started sculpting in Zbrush. I didn't do much with the clothing to begin with because I wanted to wait until after I made some of the assets in Marvelous. After getting this base going, I exported the model to import as an Avatar in Marvelous.
Learning Marvelous Designer was a little tricky, it's very different from any workflow I've ever done. As I started getting used to the program though, it became really fun to use! There were a couple items I was hoping to make in Marvelous, such as the cloth on her hat and the wrap around her waist, however I decided the rest I would just make in Zbrush. Overall I'm happy with what I was able to accomplish in Marvelous :)
I've finished the retopo and am currently on the early stages of texturing, I've baked the maps using Marmoset Toolbag 3 and am creating the clothing patterns using Photoshop and 3D Coat.
