Model in Kazakh national clothes (modernist stylization)

Responsible for modeling, rigging, texturing, lighting, and animation. Simulation is done in Maya through nCloth and nParticles. Redshift was used for rendering. I utilized Python in Maya to create a tool for copying and randomizing objects around the main character.
