Let's dive into the key steps involved in bringing this character to life, along with the software utilized:

The Grail Knight boasts a total polycount of 118k Tris (113k for the character and 5k for the sword). To enhance the intricate details, our artist employed four high-resolution 4k texture sets for the armor and clothing, as well as a dedicated 4x2k texture set for the sword.
