A realistic cinematic character project based on Emiel Regis from The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, developed as a graduation piece at New3dge and later refined into a production-level portfolio showcase.

The goal was to push realistic digital human workflows—balancing expressive facial likeness, layered historical costume simulation, intricate hair grooming, and high-fidelity PBR skin shading.

Pipeline & Responsibilities:

Likeness & Anatomy Sculpting: High-resolution digital portrait sculpt capturing Regis’s nuanced, aged likeness, asymmetrical facial features, and intellectual yet predatory aura.

Cloth Simulation & Costume: Multi-layered garment tailoring and simulation featuring heavy wool, worn leather straps, historical apothecary pouches, and physical seam details.

Grooming: Hair, brows, and facial hair grooming focusing on natural density variations, flyaway strands, and believable hair flow.

Texturing & PBR Shading: Multi-channel skin detailing using high-res displacement and realistic micro-roughness, paired with authentic fabric wear, dirt, and leather creasing.

Cinematic Lookdev & Rendering: Film-oriented lighting setup, subsurface scattering (SSS) calibration, and final beauty shots showcasing character personality under contrasting moods.
