For my thesis I developed a video game demo based on Viking culture with a low poly mesh style. It was my first time in this field and I was satisfied enough about the final result, from mesh to animation and Unity3D implementation.

I was inspired by a World of Warcraft’s character and I tried to make it look as much as possible to the WoW’s model, trying however to give it different proportions. This was my first Character in Blender, I decided to give him matte color without using textures, but only by using materials. In order to rig the character I followed a simple workshop and after that I made a walking cycle trying to make it as realistic as possible.

After I had completed the character and the other mesh I imported everything on Unity and created a little environment. Later I implemented the animations and script to allow the character to move within the space and wrote another script to allow the camera to follow the player's movements.
