Akolar Boots

AKOLAR - Character Boot Lookdev 
🎞 "A cowboy so cold, even the desert needs a jacket."
This project is a full lookdev of the main character’s boot, Akolar, from an animated short film I’m currently producing with friends. I handled the entire process: 
👞 Modeling, UVs, Texturing, Shading, Lighting, Rendering, Compositing.
The goal was to create a badass post-apocalyptic boot with western influences and a quirky Tarantino-style twist. 
👉 Worn materials, rusty metal, cracked leather, dried blood, cables and spikes bring storytelling into the design.
🛠️ Software used: Maya, Substance 3D Painter, Photoshop, Marmoset Toolbag, Arnold 
🔁 The project includes:
Turntable (Beauty / Wireframe / AOV)
Close-up and mood renders
Technical breakdown (UVs, Maps, Shader IDs...)
This asset is part of the AKOLAR project, coming in September 2025 — a short animated western mixing Belgian humor, absurdity, and icy duels. 
More to come soon. 🤠❄️
