“I want a complete next-gen model for my show reel, and Wolverine is my favorite comic book character. So, I decide to make a game model of him. I choose this outfit for him, because I felt that among the numerous wolverine models, already done out there, none that I know of has this outfit and in the movies or in the comics, wolverine is famous for his jacket and vest looks. So I decided to model him with his jacket.”
