[FrancisBVH (Dibobunny)]

Greetings ! This is a work in progress post which features a stylized character named Azura, designed with a distinct Cyberpunk theme.

Azura embodies a bunny-like features, rendered with the quality and detail reminiscent of an in-game character. The creation process involved using a combination of software tools: Blender, Marvelous Designer, and Substance Painter. Additionally, AccuRig ActorCore played a crucial role in streamlining the rigging process, ensuring Azura’s movements are lifelike and fluid.
