Medieval Stylized Bust

This was a speed sculpt project that I used as a practical exercise to introduce some workflow concepts to my students.
I usually encourage them to do frequent speed sculpts, especially as a warm-up before starting ZBrush classes, but this time I decided to go a bit further and turn it into a small workflow demo.

We covered:

Sculpting approach

Basic workflow structure

Retopology

Detail passes

Texturing

And even a bit of Grooming in XGen

Rendered in Unreal Engine 5.5

It was a fast project, developed over a few hours across a week, focused more on process and learning than on polish.
