This is the first tutorial of a four-part series: Digital You. The first part goes over how to model a realistic 3D character in Autodesk's free online Character Generator. The second part shows you how to customize the model in Maya and Photoshop by replacing the skin texture with one of your own. The third part shows you how to insert the custom model as a character controller in Unity. The fourth part is just for fun: how to create a papercraft mask from your custom model. Each part was created with beginners in mind! So, if you've ever wanted to create your own 3D characters, here's your chance!
