I decided to bring it to life by starting with the basics in Maya, sculpting the details in ZBrush, and then baking them in Marmoset. I painted the textures in Substance Painter and created the shaders in Unreal Engine 5. I also developed the materials and VFX effects, finalizing everything in UE5.
