AI-assisted Mascot Creation Project

As the lead developer, I spearheaded the end-to-end creation of a corporate virtual mascot, delivering a dual-purpose 3D model for both digital-human applications and industrial-grade 3D printing. My responsibilities spanned the entire pipeline from initial concept design to custom LoRA model training, AI-assisted high-precision 3D modeling, and character rigging. The final deliverables achieved first-pass client approval.

Design Phase

Developed brand-aligned character concepts.

AI Integration

Trained proprietary LoRA models for style-consistent generation

Modeling Pipeline

Created animation-ready topology using Maya.

Implemented an AI-accelerated modeling pipeline where AI-generated base meshes were refined through manual retopology, achieving a 50% reduction in production time compared to conventional modeling methods.

Output Optimization

Prepared print-ready models with manufacturable mesh structures.

Successfully rigged and seamlessly integrated the 3D model into Unreal Engine 5, enabling clients to efficiently render diverse animations.
