Four - Low Poly PS1 Style Character in Maya

I transformed my Dungeons and Dragons character into a PS1-style low-poly 3D character model! She is rigged with nCloth physics on her skirt and cape. She also has face texture keys for different expressions. Her sword is also rigged to control a glowing effect. To get the pixel effect, I used an aiToon material combined with anti-aliasing effects and disabling the denoiser. I increased sampling on the lights to combat the heavy noise.
