Gundam - ZEPHYRANTES RX-78 RG 1/144

RX-78GP01 Zephyrantes – Full Hard Surface Modeling | Film-Ready Topology

This project is a full hard surface modeling recreation of the Zephyrantes RX-78 GP01 (Real Grade 1/144), based on a physical model kit that I carefully studied and reproduced piece by piece.
The entire asset was modeled in Autodesk Maya over several months during my spare time, with a strong focus on clean topology and production ready geometry.
The goal was not only to match the original design as closely as possible, but also to build a model suitable for high rendering and potential film use.

This project was a long term personal challenge focused on discipline and precision in hard surface modeling, and it significantly strengthened my technical skills and understanding of complex hard surface workflows.

Software Used:
Autodesk Maya / Arnold Renderer / Nuke (Compositing)

Shout out to all the Gundams enjoyers :)
Thanks for your time !
