BSLIVE / Let’s talk about Kiwi and Semi Procedural Character Design
In this episode, I am showing you the process creation of this Kiwi Character using Blender. Which was mostly based on “Zespri Japan” Kiwi character design, but also influenced by Muppets, Aardman, Doraemon, Elmo, Domo-Kun, etc.

Think about all kind of famous and “not so famous” puppet characters that you can remember of. I personally grew up with influence from all those TV characters like from Sesame Street, from many Japanese TV shows and also hand sock puppets.
You CAN now make it as AR Virtual Character using Blender. It become so easy and accessible! What can you create? Make your own DIY characters.
NOTE: Kiwi is really good for you. Plenty of vitamin C.
TECHNICAL NOTES:
I am using some node tricks here to make the Kiwi 3D body shape. SV Bisect node to slice geometry. Skin Modifiers play important part to get limbs. In general you can also use Metaballs to get quick shape. Do use Blender Sculpting also.
