Ground textures and foliage are modified Quixel Megascan assets.
Below are videos recorded for the course. A bit outdated but some of it might still be useful. Character refined further after recording.

Modeling, UVs, Posing
Texturing
Lookdev and grooming start. I used Vray initially in the videos but later switched the project to Arnold.
Grooming continued, rendering, and comp. I ended up redoing the groom again later off cam. I also did the final comp of the project update in Nuke instead of After Effects.
