These characters were for a Farm Game Jam ran by Figerox in February 2024! We had a month to work on our submission, and I was tasked with designing all of the characters. This involved 4 player characters (2 pigs and 2 cows), a friendly NPC (Owl) and the 4 types of zombies (which were modelled by somebody else). I modelled the 4 player characters and the one NPC.
We aimed to keep the poly count under 6,000 polys for the characters and wanted them to be bright and colourful (aiming for a family friendly design!). To save time, I made the pig and cow characters have the same base mesh. They also shared the same outfits. I created 1 base mesh for the pigs and one for the cows, 1 dungaree dress outfit and 1 dungaree outfit. This saved a lot of time!
