Creating Jinx from Arcane in 3D has been a dream project! As a huge fan of the show, I’ve always admired its art style and unique visuals. It is all about using the right methodology and techniques.
I couldn’t resist the challenge of seeing just how far I could push that look in Unreal Engine 5, aiming to capture Jinx’s presence and the hand-painted style of Arcane.
From sculpting her in ZBrush to experimenting with shaders in UE5. And who knows? Maybe one day, this could evolve into a playable game! 🎮
I’ll break down every step, from setting up a scene to getting the final rig and animation in the sequencer.
You will learn my full process in Zbrusha and how to block out any character successfully. Also, I am breaking down my Substance Painter Arcane shader for you, so it can be replicated, along with some cool hand painting techniques.
Finally, you'll learn how to set up a character inside Unreal and create a kickass presentation
