Liberta. Short animation
Liberta is a ballerina in a music box who transforms from an inanimate doll into something dynamic and evil, she achieves this through music. This project presents the process of creating a 3d character: concept art, sculpting, retopology and textures. The video was created in Unreal Engine 5.
