Character Art

Summary

The character art pipeline is a multi-stage process used to create high-quality 3D character models for use in various media. UIW's Unified Pipeline is a version of this process adapted specifically for use at the University. The workflows below are designed to streamline the process and ensure consistency in quality across different projects.
