This is it — the final step!

In this episode, I pose the finished character in Character Creator 5, add a dynamic expression, and send it straight to Marmoset Toolbag 5 for rendering using the Auto-Setup plugin.

I’ll show how to position lights, tweak emissive materials, add depth of field, and render high-res transparent images for compositing.

To wrap up, I share the final render and paint-over process in Photoshop.

💡 Software: Character Creator 5, Marmoset Toolbag 5, Photoshop

🎥 Focus: Lighting, rendering and compositing
