Create a 15-second fast-paced 3D character sculpting timelapse inside a professional digital sculpting application (ZBrush-style interface: dark grey viewport, tool shelves on the left and right, subtool stack, no readable text).

Use the provided character reference only as the final target for the sculpt's silhouette, proportions, costume, feather layout and distinctive features. The process must visibly start from a single primitive sphere and rebuild the referenced character from scratch. The whole sculpt stays in a monochrome grey clay / matcap material — no color, no textures.

Show a visible mouse cursor actively controlling the entire process. Every major change must feel caused by cursor strokes on the mesh surface. The model is frequently rotated by dragging in the viewport, so the sculpt is always read as a real 3D object, not a drawing.

0:00-0:02
Start on an empty grey viewport with one smooth low-resolution sphere. The cursor pulls and drags the mass out into a rough humanoid blockout — torso, head, limbs, digitigrade bird legs — using large Move-brush strokes. Blobby, low-poly, no detail.

0:02-0:04
Remesh pass. The wireframe briefly flashes on, the mesh becomes denser and cleaner, then the wireframe disappears. The cursor refines proportions, defines the shoulder mass, hunched posture, arm length and the raven skull with a long curved beak. Rotate the model 90 degrees to check the profile.

0:04-0:06
Anatomy and costume blockout. The cursor masks regions and extracts new subtools: hood, shoulder cape, tunic, belts, wrapped shins. New objects visibly pop into the subtool stack as separate grey pieces. Clay build-up strokes thicken forms, TrimDynamic-style strokes flatten planes.

0:06-0:09
Hard-surface and prop pass. Insert-mesh strokes place straps, buckles, pouches, small blades and the recurve bow across the back. The cursor drags each piece into position, scales and rotates it. Continuous slow orbiting of the model between placements.

0:09-0:12
Feather pass — the most dramatic stage. Using an alpha/insert-brush, the cursor rapidly stamps overlapping feathers layer by layer over the shoulders, chest ruff, forearms and the long ragged cape. Feathers accumulate in fast successive passes from broad to fine, building the shaggy silhouette from the reference.

0:12-0:14
High-frequency detail and polish. Sharp carving strokes cut cloth folds, torn hems, stitching, leather grain and scale texture on the legs and talons. The viewport briefly zooms into the beak and hood to refine the face, then pulls back out. Subdivision level rises one more time, surface noise appears on the fabric.

0:14-0:15
The UI panels fade away. The finished sculpt is presented on a clean white background, centered, in the same standing pose and framing as the reference, slowly rotating and settling into the exact frontal reference view. End on the final beauty render.

STYLE:
High-speed 3D sculpting timelapse, professional digital sculpting workflow, believable sculpting software UI, matte grey clay material with soft studio lighting, smooth cursor movement, rapid but readable operations, no random text, no fake dialogue, no unrelated popups.

MOTION:
Continuously productive for the full 15 seconds. No long pauses. Compress many hours of sculpting into an energetic timelapse while keeping the progression clearly readable: sphere → rough blockout → refined anatomy → costume subtools → props and straps → layered feathers → fine detail → final render. Mesh density and surface complexity must visibly increase over time, never jump instantly.

CAMERA:
Screen-recording style. Camera navigation is 3D viewport orbiting — the model rotates around its vertical axis while being worked on, with occasional dolly-zooms toward the head, hands or feather clusters and back out. Keep the UI stable and readable. No cinematic cuts
