Photorealistic CGI Ape in Snow Environment

For a major project my idea is to create an ape inspired by Andy Serkis’ work in Planet of the Apes. I want to make a photorealistic CGI ape walk cycle on a snowy floor. To achieve this, I plan to use ZBrush for modeling, with animation done using motion capture and Maya. I will use Maya and Houdini for hair simulation and Houdini for creating the snow floor. The environment will be built in Unreal Engine 5.
