3D Character Artist 村口全师傅 has recently paid tribute to Lee Ji-eun, a Korean singer, songwriter, and actress, known to many by her stage name IU, producing a realistic-looking 3D recreation of the K-POP star.
According to the creator's ArtStation post, 村口全师傅 bought several photo collections of IU to use as references and help to carefully translate her likeness into the digital space using Maya and ZBrush for modeling, Mari for texturing, and Substance 3D Painter for material creation. Additionally, the artist employed Texturing XYZ's VFace for texture creation, XGen to set up the singer's hairstyle, and Arnold for rendering.
