3D Stylized Character Design
Project Overview
We had the opportunity to bring Master Chimpo to life - a stylized 3D character crafted from scratch in a Disney-inspired art style.
From sculpting, modeling, texturing, and rigging to final renders with cinematic lighting, every detail was designed inside Blender 3D.
Alongside the character, we also created digital merchandise using Marvelous Designer and Blender, adding depth to Chimpo's universe.
