What this service covers

Realistic work depends on anatomy, proportion, skin response, eyes, hair, clothing, and the quality of the references. For a real person's likeness, the client must have that person's permission and provide clear multi-angle references.

The workflow includes sculpt review, topology, skin textures, shader setup, hair approach, clothing, and selected presentation renders. Game and cinematic versions require different geometry and material budgets and are delivered only when included.

Likeness is affected by reference coverage, lighting, lens distortion, age, expression, and approved interpretation. A model is an artistic representation, not biometric identity verification or a guaranteed digital duplicate.

What's included

  • Realistic portrait or character sculpt
  • Skin textures and shading setup
  • Defined hair and clothing work
  • Detailed PBR texture maps

Frequently asked questions

Can you model a real person?

Yes, with the person's permission and clear multi-angle references. Reference quantity, lens, lighting, and image quality directly affect likeness.

Why does realistic character work take longer?

Anatomy, skin, eyes, hair, clothing, and shading need more detailed review and iteration than a simplified style.

Can I use the character for both games and rendering?

Yes, if both versions are included. A high-detail render asset and optimized real-time asset require different topology, textures, and tests.

Stylized 3D Character Modeling

Stylized 3D character modeling turns an approved visual direction into a distinctive animation or game asset with controlled shapes, textures, and optional rigging.

Low Poly Modeling

Low poly modeling creates lightweight 3D assets around agreed silhouette, polygon, material, texture, file-size, and target-platform budgets.

High Poly Modeling

High poly modeling creates a detailed source sculpt for close-up rendering, cinematic work, texture baking, or scoped 3D print preparation.

3D NPC Design

3D NPC design creates finite modular side-character sets around an agreed game style, variation plan, rig, animation scope, engine, and performance budget.

3D Avatar Design

3D avatar design creates a custom personal or brand avatar for one selected platform, with agreed appearance, expressions, rigging, performance, and file format.

VRChat Avatar Design

VRChat avatar design creates and tests a custom avatar for an agreed VRChat SDK version, performance target, expression set, controls, and Unity handoff.
