Pangolin Mobile Game Asset

This is a Mobile AR asset I made for the Nashville Zoo App’s Virtual Habitat while working at Blipd.
I was responsible for the conceptualization of the Asia habitat for the Nashville Zoo’s App, and I felt the pangolin needed to make an appearance. On paper, it looked like a great idea, in practice it proved challenging. Being a mobile AR app, the polycount is tight, and this little guy pushed that a bit. I had a lot of fun making this guy, and after seeing the bake come out clean on the first try I jumped for joy! I think this was my favorite model of 2022.
I was responsible for modeling, texturing, and rigging the asset.
For the project I utilized Zbrush, Photoshop, Xnormal, and Maya.
