Before you is my first 3D character work, representing a complete pipeline from modeling to animation. This project was undertaken to achieve a deep immersion into the complex pipeline of character graphics. All stages, from the initial modeling to the final animation, were independently mastered and executed by me as part of a practical, research-oriented approach. The modeling and rigging were done in Autodesk Maya to enable subsequent animation. Texturing was completed in Substance Painter. The central concept is a Corgi samurai—a character that combines an unexpected form with a distinctive essence. The final stage involved creating a short animation, with the goal of bringing the character to life by endowing it with purposeful movement and believable physics. This work serves as a starting point in my study of 3D character creation and animation, laying the foundation for my continued independent development in this field.
