Cyberpunk Android - Realtime UE 5.7 Character

This project started as a self improvement challenge and turned into one of the most demanding journeys I've taken as an artist, pushing myself across multiple disciplines at once: anatomy,hair, texturing, rigging, and real-time rendering in Unreal Engine 5.
One of the most exciting technical decisions was integrating the MetaHuman rig, which opened up a whole new set of challenges and learning opportunities in UE5. Getting everything to work together in a realtime pipeline required a lot of problem-solving, and honestly, that's what I loved most about it.
I'm really happy with how she turned out. This character means a lot to me. she's proof of what's possible when you commit to a challenge and don't give up, even when the pipeline fights back. 🖤
