This weekend I practiced creating 3D characters using hard surface modelling in Blender. After following reference images I got this 3D model of the 2D MLP character Pinkie Pie. I then UV mapped, textured and animated directly in Blender. I tried to study grooming and hair simulation using the particle systems. Rigging was done with the "auto-rig pro" add on.
Modeling took me about 4 hours.
Texturing took me about 1 hour.
Rigging took me about 1 hour.
Rendered in Eevee with a RPF of 2.5 seconds approx. Final color touch was done in Premiere and Photoshop. Hope you like it!
