Hollow Man / Real-Time

This 3D character model brings to life an intriguing concept I came across, featuring a mysterious figure with a flaming skull and a noir-inspired vibe. With over three years of experience in 3D art, I aimed to capture the character’s unique mix of elegance and haunting charm. From the billowing trench coat to the polished briefcase and stylized flames, every detail was carefully crafted. I retopologized the model for optimal performance, created detailed UV maps, and customized shaders to achieve a distinct stylized look.

Working on this piece allowed me to experiment with rigging, animation, and dramatic lighting to enhance the ghostly aura of the character.

Workflow:

High Poly Modeling: ZBrush
Low Poly and UV Mapping: Blender
Baking: Substance Painter
Lighting and Rendering: Eevee (Blender)
Rigging and Animation: Blender

I’d love to hear your feedback on this project!
