WEEK02: Character Reference and Confirm

We organized a meeting about the choice of character style. We found a lot of videos and pictures about virtual idols on the Internet and started to design the protagonists.

Some realistic virtual idols are included here. They are characterized by being closer to humans.

Imma Janpanese CGI Vtuber
Lil Miquela Chinese -AYAYI-

Some two-dimensional idols are included here, which are in line with our original design. Because our inspiration comes from Hatsune Miku’s 3D concert.

We hesitated for a long time on the setting of the character style. But our final confirmed character style is Imma’s similar style.

This is a character made by Chenghao Su. We identified her as our character.

WEEK02: Research and Reference

This week I found a lot of references to character and scenes.

Character Reference

This is the reference model of the character.

I wanted to model a character myself, so I looked for different styles of character models.

About clothing style. I have two thoughts.

  • Chinese style
  • Modern style

I will try two different clothing styles. Finally, decide which one to use according to the needs of the scene.

Scene Reference

Here are some references about my scene.

Forest
Cave

I will use UE4 to create these scenes.
