Kruel – The Demon

This is my very first 3D model which has been modified lately for better compositing. However, I want to remain the textures and materials to appreciate first experience with 3D.

The model was sculpted in Zbrush;
UV mapped, Rigged and Posed in Maya;
Textured and Materials in Substance Painter;
Composited and Colour Graded in After Effects CC;

The composition was further composited and finally, exported in Photoshop CC
Hope you enjoy!!!

I did spend a good while to finalise this model despite the fact that it was just a part of the background elements. Therefore, I thought it should deserve the spotlight as the others.

A 3D volcano was made as a background from Maya using brush stamp with displacement map of mountains:

Zbrush for further sculpting, projecting mesh and Zremesher;
and Substance Painter for applying textures and materials using an absolutely amazing "Magma" material which was made by a nickname called "infinition": https://share.substance3d.com/libraries/5301
