A digital likeness inspired by seeing Iggy Pop perform live in Chicago in 2010. Began as a personal character study and evolved into a real-time rigged model.
In 2016, AST Studios licensed the character model and textures for the Oneohtrix Point Never & Iggy Pop music video “The Pure and the Damned” from the motion picture Good Time, which debuted at Sundance 2017.
Recently reworked for UE5 with subsurface shading, strand-based hair in XGen, repainted textures in Substance Painter, and path-traced rendering. The project spans nearly a decade of iteration, from initial ZBrush sculpt through multiple rendering pipelines.
