PEDRO PASCAL "JOEL" (UE5)
Hi guys,
I'm really excited to present this collaboration project with Vimal Kerketta! I reached out to him about transforming his incredible sculpt of Joel (Pedro Pascal) into a full cg double and here is the final result!
In the first half of the project, I worked on the character in Maya using XGen and Arnold to establish a solid benchmark for the character before bringing it into UE5 (I do this process only because offline rendering is more familiar to me).
I had a lot of fun working on this and hope you like the final result!
The cinematic uses the 'MegaScans Abandoned Apartment' asset on the Epic Marketplace and the music is 'Crimson Heart' by Dan Barracuda.
