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. * * * WORK IN PROCESS VIDEO 😁 : [![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/5/a/d/5ad9a9311e99bb55f0b02f83c4e1f303ccdf96cd.jpeg "2024 Reallusion 3D Character Contest - Stylized Character - Azura") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5lMTWJfyRI) * * * I uploaded some extra images at Artstation instead.
