I can create a high-quality, Unity-ready 3D bear mascot that is cute, expressive, and optimized for in-game use. This includes clean modeling, stylized texturing, full body rigging, and the blendshapes you need for facial expressions and animations. I’ve worked on character pipelines for Unity-based games and interactive experiences, delivering mascots and stylized characters with proper topology for deformation, game-ready polycounts, and efficient textures. My focus is always on characters that look great in-engine while remaining performant. My process would be: concept alignment and references, base mesh and topology, hand-painted or PBR stylized textures, rigging compatible with Unity, then creating and testing blendshapes directly in-engine to ensure everything behaves as expected.
