Buzz Lightyear Fan Art

Buzz Lightyear Fan Art
I am very happy to share my final project from the VFX Next Academy course, where I have recreated the iconic character Buzz Lightyear from the 2022 movie “Lightyear” in a 3D model.

The main goal of this project was to capture the essence and details of the Buzz Lightyear character, ensuring his appearance as accurately as possible and the spirit of the original space guardian. I used a combination of software such as Maya, Zbrush and Substance Painter, applying techniques learned during the course.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my tutor, Vladimir Minguillo, whose support and guidance were invaluable. His constant motivation and expert suggestions helped me improve every aspect of this project. Without his help, it would not have been possible to achieve the level of detail and quality presented today.

Hello Rodolfo, thank you very much for your message and for the time you have taken to observe my work. It took me several months to complete this project, however, capturing the resemblance to the original character and modeling all the pieces was relatively easy. Of course, I was correcting the proportions and fixing things every time I looked at the piece. I also have a lot to thank my mentor (Vladimir Minguillo) for, who was guiding me during the development of the piece with his vast experience and his incredible artistic eye. I have renders of the entire process that I can share with you whenever you want. Greetings and thank you very much.

Wow, what a great piece. Congrats on the Staff Pick nomination.
