Step 1: Drawing the Base Shapes
Curvy 3D makes blocking out your character incredibly fast:
Start by sketching simple 3D shapes, defining the body’s core structure.
Use spheres and cylinders for the limbs, torso, and head—focusing on proportions.
Adjust forms dynamically, making the muscular details take shape effortlessly.
At this stage, the foundation of the warrior is already taking form, without worrying about topology—pure creativity!

Step 2: Adding the Costume & Armor
Once the base character is sculpted, Curvy 3D makes adding armor and accessories effortless:
Start with large elements, like the chest armor and shoulder pads.
Sketch directly over the body, letting Curvy merge and refine shapes smoothly.
Layer straps, belts, and ornamental details, ensuring a natural flow.
The intricate belt buckle and arm bracers were built using simple drawn shapes, refined and merged without manual vertex adjustments—so much faster than traditional modeling!
Step 3: Sculpting Fine Details & Texturing
Curvy 3D’s brush system makes fine detailing a breeze:
Carve intricate designs into the armor, bringing out battle-worn textures.
Define material differences—metal vs. fabric, adding realism.
Enhance facial features, making the warrior feel expressive and alive.
You can see how the soft curves and hard details blend seamlessly, creating a powerful and visually stunning character.
Step 4: Lighting & Atmosphere
Once the sculpt is complete, setting the mood brings the image to life:
The moonlit background creates a cinematic effect, emphasizing mystery.
Strategic lighting enhances depth, making shadows play across the armor.
The rugged terrain complements the warrior’s presence, adding adventure.
All of this combines to make a striking, high-fantasy hero, sculpted faster and easier than traditional methods!

I made a quilt pattern out of a smoothed cube and some lines. Then screenshot it using the Normal Map Camera Panel option. Put on the trousers with a 45 degree Texture Placement Panel rotation.
