Creating Charizard

Creating a 3D model of Charizard, a popular Pokémon, can be a fun and rewarding project for 3D artists.

All of Charizard information that I used is from the Bulbapedia page.

I started with reference images, Ensure that the reference images are clear and show the details of Charizard's anatomy.

These are the ones I used:

FRONT


SIDE


I used Autodesk Maya to create a low poly version of Charizard.


I created the Tail


Then i moved on to the lizard's main body



I then made his arms


And legs


I then proceeded to create a simple version of the fire on his tail.


Then I moved on to build his wing making sure to push into the bat-shaped edges.


And finally the Head, this was the tricky part


Now I finally have all the pieces of the Pokemon. Is time to combine them together



I made some extra parts to add some details



And some extra fire versions


Then I assembled the entire model


I created low-poly and high-poly versions of the model


Then I exported the model and started texturing it with its color scheme.


Substance 3D Painter designs are too rough so I used Photoshop Instead to create a cartoony colour effect.


These are the UV with the textures

3D Weapon Workflow

Image
This is my guide, using my workflow to create a 3D Model for a weapon by starting from a concept idea. We will require the use of these specific software's: Autodesk Maya  (low Poly mesh),  ZBrush  (high poly mesh), and  Substance 3D Painter  (baking and textures). Then importing the final product into a game engine, in this case Unreal Engine 5 . Autodesk Maya I usually work with Autodesk Maya to build my base model from scratch, this software can be challenging for beginners, it will require knowledge and skills to be used efficiently. ZBrush This is probably the most challenging software to use, it took me sometime to get use to the interface, in my advice is best to use a drawing tablet and a pen for ZBrush. ZBrush can also be an optional step, because you can actually create the High Poly version in Maya.  ZBrush allows us to add details and sculpt our models, it is great for more complex meshes. Substance 3D Painter Once both versions of the model are completed we can move on
