I modeled, rigged, textured, and animated a dog using Zbrush and Blender. I also used Blender to create a landscape and shader nodes to create a painterly texture on the water, landscape, and the dog.
This was an interesting experiment to test the limits of premade rigs and weight paints in Blender. Although it would have looked even more realistic with an IK rig and custom-weight paints, I think the limits of Blender and my skill set still allowed the animation to appear highly polished.
I also took the time to experiment with Blender add-ons to create landscapes and Blender nodes to create really interesting textures.
Overall, I am really proud of the way my models and animations turned out!
