Jack The Hunter
This Wild West protagonist was created as part of a personal game project during university, serving as the main playable character in a story-driven western setting. The goal was to achieve a cinematic, game-ready hero that reflects the grit and realism of the frontier while maintaining strong character presence. The character was sculpted in ZBrush, with cloth simulated and refined in Marvelous Designer to capture authentic fabric folds and layering. Substance 3D Painter was used for texturing, focusing on believable wear, leather roughness. The hair and beard were groomed in Maya, while Unreal Engine handled lighting, shading, and final rendering. This project allowed exploration of realistic character workflows, from sculpting and simulation to shading and presentation, while balancing performance and visual quality for a real-time environment.
