My submission for the 2024 Reallusion 3D Character Contest "Character Animation - Realistic" Category, a playful interpretation of the Japanese deity Inari Ōkami.
According to legend, years ago, the playful deity Inari Ōkami briefly descended to the mortal plane, draped in a radiant golden kimono. Her attire, at times, burst into flames, radiating a warmth that could be felt from afar. At other moments, a magical shawl floated gently around her, causing nature to flourish—flowers bloomed, trees grew taller, and the air filled with the scent of fresh blossoms.
Just as suddenly as she appeared, she vanished without a trace, leaving only a fleeting memory. Elusive as the wind, Inari's true intentions remain a mystery, her tale a whispered legend in Japanese folklore.
