Undershirt to go on this:
I’m hip deep in finishing the otter for the end of the month right now, results are tentatively okay with that, but a lot to go. Kroia should be very quick to finish after I get this done… very comfortable with the process now.
Don’t think I’ll go anywhere with this, but was a nice warmup to get things going tonight:
3 hours later here we are:
Very fun. Will look at it tomorrow, can definitely envision a scene for it.
From Anand’s base mesh, 20 minutes of fuglifying it from human:
See where I am in 2 hours. If it goes well might take it up to the point of the latest Gnomon challenge thing (2 birds, yay), but don’t think it’ll go fast w/ well enough.
Mutated otter btw ^^
After a lot of time spent getting the nude unwrapped, and testing that I can get a normal map off, I’m back to the costume. Took me an afternoon to learn how to make inorganic shapes in ZB (sadly theres no real trick ;(), and am starting up on it today.
Britta did a paint over of the costume for me which I appreciate and am gonna work in as much as I can… puffy shirt in video game res speaks yet more opacity work to me, but it’d be pretty cool so I’m gonna take a shot:
T’was fun, learned a bit. Did the drawing while watching the AFC championship, nice to have two interesting things going on at once.
Well heres the first normal map I’ve made:
Not at all close to perfect, but I’m willing to take it. Left is a wire of the very low poly I used, then a non normal, then the normal. Some detail jumps out, not perfect, but decent.
I wanted to make sure I could use the retopo tools in zb3, so I did a quick full body retopo of the Kroia mesh. It’s extremely easy and natural once you get the mesh in there, fast logical, just great really. I have a little trouble at the fingers and nostrils (can’t zoom in enough), but I haven’t had a chance to go fully though the docs yet so that should get clear soon.
