'Art Comes From Life'

"This video is a main title I made for a series in my mind, a story about an artist who made his artistic sculptures from real life. I did some research about ceramics, and tried to represent some important part of the process with a horrible atmosphere. The whole video is rendered in Octane Render, and I made some edits in Adobe After Effects. The software I used for this video includes Cinema 4D for scene design, Blender for modeling, Maya for simple rigging, ZBrush for sculpture and Substance Painter for part of texture. A Cinema 4D named Realflow helped me to simulate the wet mud and blood in the scene. Also, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop were utilized for some 2D image (texture) asset designs."
