The Kirby in a Tokyo

This personal learning project features a model of Kirby, the beloved character from Nintendo's famous game series, set against a Tokyo-inspired backdrop. The Tokyo environment was Unreal Engine's free asset pack, which was temporarily available. The project utilized Unreal Engine's Lumen lighting system for visual enhancement.

Kirby was modeled in Maya and textured in Substance Painter, and the scene assembly, camera work, lighting, and rendering were completed in Unreal Engine. The project explores three distinct lighting styles to convey different moods and atmospheres.

Software Used: character modeling for Maya, character texturing for Substance Painter, and lighting & rendering for Unreal Engine
