Key stages in the development of a 3d character for computer games

Abstract

This article examines the key stages of developing a 3D character for computer games as a comprehensive technological process. It analyses the structural organisation of the character creation pipeline, including conceptual design, modelling, retopology, texturing, rigging and animation. Particular attention is paid to the optimisation of geometry in accordance with real-time requirements. Current trends in the automation of character creation processes are identified.
