The Last of Us Part 2 - Nora

I was responsible for Nora. Thanks to VASG (Sony San Diego) for the scan cleanup, initial pass on the head, and their blendshape work! After VASGs, I had thorough feedback from my leads Frank Tzeng and Soa Lee as well as Character Concept Lead Ashley Swidowski to get her to where she needed to be.

Hair by me with lots of guidance from Frank Tzeng. :) This is one of the first hairs I handled from scratch and I was thoroughly intimidated, but we were able to pull it off in the end! Frank worked with me step by step on this one. He showed me how he would handle it and critiqued me to death until it was good enough. It was a great experience, I learned a TON. I also want to thank Soa Lee who also gave me some great feedback as far as integrating the hairline!

Thank you to Virtuos and OF3D! They did initial scan cleanups for all the outfits as well as topology, UVs and bakes. We adjust accordingly and save tons of time thanks to them!

Thank you to our character concept team! They took the time to actually scuff up the outfits so we have the best possible reference! They also provided wear and tear guides to make their outfits feel thoroughly lived in.

Note: I might be editing descriptions as I remember who else I need to thank!
