I initially was inspired to do this piece after seeing the quality of ''Digital Influencers'' on Instagram and decided to try my hand at making my own. I have been working on and off this project for the last two years. It ended up being a little too ambitious for me, especially on the rigging side. This render dump is a tiny portion of the hundreds of renders I did on this project in reverse chronological order showing the rough process I went through including trying different hair styles and colours, creating a costume and thousands of micro iterations on the model, texture and lookdev. Scroll to the end to see the very first render. I feel like I grew a lot over the two year period, but it's time to move on now and start fresh.
