#PortfolioDay
sure, my portfolio stuff is characters and texture work but can you imagine how badass my gradient textures would look on props? get in here early and you get my great personality and jokes for free 🤸♀️
i'm 100% down for 3D generalist work!

this is with absolutely NO movement on the part of the hips, butt or groin, and lots of overextending to see how far i can rotate until it looks completely gross
i have a disease called perfectionist garbage syndrome so i'm working through it

i went for a customized mesh instead of a solidify modifier inverted hull and i really REALLY like the dynamic outline it creates when the mesh is in motion
it's weird but it soothes the inconsistencies that bug me about the silhouette at certain angles

a fun little thing i finally discovered for myself that i never saw anybody just say out loud in plain text: anime eyelashes don't have to like, make sense
they can just slide around, they can do some little flippies, just kinda do whatever because a blink is pretty quick

not quite matching pixels, more controlled UV distortion! it's easier to understand seeing it in motion:

personally, when i draw i make it a priority to blindfold myself lest i be influenced in any way by outside sources

the only good thing i've unlearned in studying "proper" 3D modeling is that perfect UVs are fake
(not FAKE, really, but doing this means i don't have to make individual face textures after making a new face! i've been doing the same method with the eyebrow shapes)

quick for-fun hair texture instead of the 128x128 texture i use to test hair flow (which the UV map is still using 🤷♀️)
you can chunk it up or make it extremely fine with the sliders on the noise texture and add colors with the last color ramp

the torso isn't moving on purpose because i was trying to get the leg pit to deform nicely
MY method of weight painting and rigging is to block in the movement you want, weight the pieces 1:1 and then start smooshing the mesh around as you go if a deformation isn't hitting right
this is with absolutely NO movement on the part of the hips, butt or groin, and lots of overextending to see how far i can rotate until it looks completely gross
i have a disease called perfectionist garbage syndrome so i'm working through it

sometimes i just like to remind everyone that you can duplicate in blender with ALT+D instead of Shift+D and model in-pose AND pin straight at the same time
people probably won't burn you at the stake if you do this, it's fine. it's probably fine

all the heads i've been experimenting with this weekend. they're mostly the same base mesh, except for baby manna and doe, i retopo'd doe to match the topology for manna, and then squished baby manna with some lattices to get her profile nice (1/4)

✨PEOPLE THAT DO 3D RIGGING✨
how do you decide where joints go. i don't get it. i just can't find the sweet spot where it's supposed to go and i don't know if it's a trade secret or if there's usually a blood sacrifice involved but if i could get some insight that'd be cool

no more clipping clothes for me

hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah
i had to fix the offset of the dither to be happy with it so it could be adjusted on the fly like this so i have to add EXACTLY 0.056525 to the pixel density for the location and divide it by 32 for the scale

curly hair? start with a v-shaped plane, rotate it with soft select, and smooth it if you wanna.
does it look nice? past this you could probably smudge it into place with a lattice

i can't make the other instanced shape keys STAY their shapekeys while i'm editing, but they take the edits pretty well!
i'm trying to round out my shapes and i don't want to do all of them separately because i have OCD? brain worms? crippling perfectionism issues? who knows

DEFINITELY don't get me started on it being misaligned 😭 but hopefully in practice it'll be moving too much or too small to make too much noise at the ratio i'm planning:

"i love 3D modeling!"
the model's silhouette, out of spite:

252
aaah i think, for my actual game style, i might go with my original textures
the pixel styles are cute, but i don't know if i'll be able to pull the emotional range out of them that i want
definitely still experimenting though! it's hard being your own art director

different sizes of index painted texture coming out of affinity designer because i can't stand adobe anymore
vector shapes were optimized for the 512x512, but the 256x256 looks good! the 2048x2048 needs some touch up, but it's more for demonstration than use

it's very, very sad for everyone else in the game industry, or even visual arts as a whole, that my hair textures are measurably and provably better than everyone else's ever
5
15
219
it really really has no effect that i've been able to see, since there's no geometry data being affected just by having the UVs look like garbage
it's indistinguishable from just having a regular texture until you go looking for the tangled up christmas lights
@holographicpink
damn this looks amazing, how does this go with texture distortion when you use shape keys to like close the eyes?

extremely not perfect and could definitely be enhanced by some creative planar layering, but for just being two planes sliding over a facial texture, it's pretty appealing!

i'm actually pretty happy with these shapes! the only fixes are that i want the feminine edge flow to match the masculine one better and then i want to model my OWN hands, not use these ones i downloaded as placeholders
i made the feet on my own, i can catch these hands too 😤
