3D Modeling and Animation Project- Fox
For a school portfolio project, I modeled, textured, rigged, and animated a small creature running. The programs used were Maya, Zbrush, Substance Painter and After Effects.

The finished youtube video!
I started with hard surface modeling the head and body in Maya.
After getting the base model finished, i took the OBJ into Zbrush to refine the shape and get something much more organic.
After refining the model, I remeshed it to get a good animation edge flow.
After getting the mesh finished, I started getting the UVs made. I used Zbrush to direct the edge flow and Maya to scale them for more detail around the face.
It took a few times to get the design I wanted, but eventually, I settled on this.
I started rigging in Maya.
After getting the controls made, I colored them so I could easily tell the difference between left, right, and middle.
Skin weight painting.
I simply found a decent gif off the internet and used that as a base reference as I started animating.
After getting the animation done, I added in a skydome to give the scene some light, and a ground for the creature to run on.
Started testing out the
