Hi everyone
I chose to work with Diana.
I wanted to incorporate motifs from ancient Roman(Greek) mythology, yet with a twist.
Since the goddess Diana was always associated with wild animals, I decided to recreate Diana as a modern-day university student who is concerned about endangered animals and actively participates in her school's animal protection club
This is my initial concept and some references images that I used
Started off with modeling the tennis apparel in Marvelous Designer!
And then created the varsity jacket to go over them
(It's not in this screenshot but I later added the patch on her right arm in MD as well)
First stages of texturing! At this stage I was trying to get the basic materials for each garment. I also modeled some zippers in maya and brought them over. I initially tried the zipper feature in Marvelous Designer but after some trial and error, decided to create them in mesh rather than with textures
Afterwards I also modeled the buttons and shoes in Maya and brought them over
And then the highlight of the texturing process! (The part I enjoyed the most anyway)
When I was in university everyone had patches on their varsity jackets to represent which department/club etc they were in and some people got pretty creative with their varsity jacket designs
I really wanted to try and recreate the look of the patches in 3D.
I made a simple tool in Substance Painter to paint the embroidery lines on the edges
And here is my final render
The free render (Diana going out to save the animals!)
and my additional renders
There were some more props I had planned to add but never got to because I was a bit pushed for time
But I really enjoyed developing the ideas and working on this project!
And I definitely enjoyed using the amazing programs as well
A big thank you to Allegorithmic and Marvelous Designer for such an exciting contest!
