How I made a sleeping kitty for the Mardini daily challenge.

This year I was fortunate enough to have five wins during the Mardini challenge. I took two 2nd place, three 3rd place wins, and finished in 10th overall. I decided to make breakdown / tutorials of all of these winning entries, as well as some of my other entries that I enjoyed making. Even if they didn't win.

Some highlight points of the breakdown video:

  • 00:00:00 – Entry overview
  • 00:05:25 – Cat head build
  • 00:17:28 – Cat eye lids build
  • 00:26:35 – Cat nose build
  • 00:28:18 – Cat ears build
  • 00:37:49 – Cat body build
  • 00:45:31 – Cat tail build
  • 01:00:49 – Cat paws build
  • 01:06:19 – Floor collider build
  • 01:08:14 – Adding fur process
  • 01:22:28 – Lighting
  • 01:25:46 – Geo breakouts for render
