Mowen is a character based on a movie done by fellow students and me.
The short is called "In the cave of Mowen" and is a chinese kung fu movie.
After the movie was done I wanted to draw the main character as a
hybrid bird fighter and started to model the sketch in 3D.
Later I decided to use the model for a student animation project.
The character was modeled in zBrush, baked in xNormal, textured in Quixel,
rigged and animated in Maya2014 and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 2.
The model is 23k tris with 1x2k map.
