Abstract

The broad range of methods used to create 3D digital characters is extensive and establishing a pipeline that embraces collaboration is crucial to the success of these complex assets. Developing these characters for virtual reality introduces even more complexity due to the performance demands needed to run VR efficiently. Our pipeline gives us a framework that guides us through each phase of development.
