This is a personal portfolio project inspired by the artwork of the amazing artist Xiaoyu Wang.
The 'Earth Dragon' was created for real-time use in Unreal Engine 5. I handled the entire asset creation process, including sculpting, texturing, rigging, and animation. This is my first time animating a creature but I am happy with what I've learned so far! The model utilizes a UDIM workflow with 4K textures, and all final renders were captured directly in UE5.
