This is Keira Knightley from the film Atonement. I’ve admired her green dress (designed by Jacqueline Durran) since the film came out in 2007, and decided to use this as a jumping-off point for learning how to use Marvelous Designer, Mari, and XGen. This is also the first full character that I’ve sculpted in ZBrush.
I sculpted her in ZBrush, made her dress in Marvelous designer, modeled her accessories and retopologized all of the assets in Maya, and then textured her in Mari. I then rigged her, added XGen hair, lit, and rendered her in Maya with Arnold. Finally, I composited everything together in Nuke and After Effects.
