Case Study:
Deja Vu Punks 3D Avatar

From Concept to Metaverse-Ready Avatar

Project Overview​

Bringing the Deja Vu Punks Mascot to Life

Art Unchained provides premium 3D avatar creation service that specializes in crafting high-quality digital characters for brands and web3 communities. We worked closely with the Deja Vu Punks community to bring their mascot to life as a custom-made 3D avatar, fully rigged and ready for Nifty Island, Hyperfy, Oncbyer, and other metaverse platforms.

The result?
A symbol of creativity and community ownership, now released under a CC0 license, empowering others to customize, remix, and evolve the DVP mascot as part of their own creations.

Sketching​

Concept drawings capturing style & proportions

3

Modeling

High-detail 3D sculpt, defining shape & character

4

Retopology

Clean, optimized low-poly model for real-time performance

5

UV Mapping & Baking

Preparing the model for textures & transferring details onto the model

6

Rigging

Building the skeleton & enabling natural movement

7

Texturing

Special attention to hand-painted materials & surface details

8

Final Tests

Metaverse compatibility tests, performance checks

9

Delivery of the 3D avatar and high-res rendered video and images

We checked out several 3D teams, but Art Unchained stood out. Professional, transparent, and full of great ideas—they even added a katana! We love our 3D asset and can’t wait to work with them again!
