Shaun Keenan walks through the process of creating a “Little Big Planet” inspired character starting out in ZBrush to give the character the sewn-together beanbag look, sharing some of his brush and sculpting techniques in ZBrush.

Shaun created additional details in Maya where he shows how to UV map using the RoadKill UV Tool for Maya and creates textures and materials using Photoshop for rendering with V-Ray.
