My goal when I set out on the project was twofold. My main objective was to create Nima, an original character designed by Ross Tran, in 3D. The second was to use Unreal Engine and some of its features to bring her to life. I have long been a fan of Ross and the worlds he builds with his art. I’ve always been partial to the character of Nima because I really like her aesthetic and colour scheme. This project was an opportunity for me to try my hand at creating something with a bit more style and simplicity than usual and pay tribute to the work he has been doing. I also knew it would be a great opportunity to try some things in Unreal Engine that I hadn’t before.

For me, the next step in character modelling is to bring that character to life, and these days with the tools we have, including Unreal Engine, the power to do just that is more accessible than ever. So for me, it’s something I am particularly excited and passionate to try and learn more about, because the possibilities are endless.
