Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿)
Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿) is one of the animation legend, so I decided to create a cg version of him.
I first planed to just create a bust of him, but end up creating a full image.
His works always brings warmth to our heart, so I decided to create an image of him animating on the table with some warm sunshine spraying on his shoulder to reflect this idea. Hope you guys like it.
A short interview I did for 3D.sk at the end of 2021. Very appreciated to have them to expose my work to more audience. If you are interested in my creative process please click the link below. Peace!

I improvised quite a bit for the assets. Can you find all easter eggs?
Skin surface detail is a mixture with HD head from 3d Scan store and Texturingxyz. I kept what I like and erased what I dislike and filled the gap with alphas
skin texture is done in Substance painter. I did not hand paint much, just layering different procedural textures with maskes.
I got inspired by all those masters in Renaissance. I was trying to use multiple tricks to guide audiences eye movement to follow the path I want them to follow. Not sure if that works or this is just my wishful thinking :)

All assets are done with the head at the same time. Since I wasn't sure about the form of the head, so I decided to model the glasses in Houdini. Its prociduralism workflow is benifitial for my workflow since I like to alter things.
Assets are all created in Houdini procedurally. I was not quite sure what I want. However, Houdini's procedualism is so powerful which allows me to keep trail and error without too much pain. It can also set up the rigid body sims on the fly. Neat!
Thanks CG Record for putting this together!
