Modelado, texturizado y animación de personajes y escenarios para el videojuego “InkFall”

Abstract

This technological project aimed to develop and document the production workflow for three-dimensional assets used in the video game InkFall, with a focus on characters, environments, and interactive objects intended for real-time rendering. The project addressed the need for a structured workflow capable of ensuring visual consistency, technical efficiency, and effective integration across the art, design, and programming areas. A complete 3D production pipeline was implemented, including planning, modeling, digital sculpting, retopology, UV mapping, texture map baking, PBR-based texturing, rigging, animation, export, and integration into Unity. Blender, Substance Painter, and Unity were the main software tools employed throughout the process. The validation stage confirmed that the developed models met the visual and technical requirements established for InkFall and could be successfully integrated into the game engine. The evaluation also identified areas for improvement related to the level of detail, material distribution, and optimization of specific geometries. Based on these findings, adjustments were made to topology, textures, and material configurations, resulting in assets with greater visual consistency and improved suitability for real-time performance. The results indicate that the implemented pipeline provided an effective workflow for producing and integrating three-dimensional game assets and established a replicable technical foundation for future development stages and video game projects.
