Maximum_Trouble

@_Wripp I feel like larger scale space ships are hard to design because unlike a character or a plane the scale can prevent us from designing around one specific set of features like eyes or intakes or whatever that the viewer is drawn to. So its like trying to fill up an empty space.

What am I missing?? it looks like shit

@Trinko_13 Indeed, totally different from my main focus of modeling characters

@Significant_Jkl But when the mess of lines and shapes eventually comes together, it's a great feeling

EA-6b 'Heron' early Blender concept from original SF project

@Trinko_13 Thanks yo I feel like it has forever to go before it gets gets to what I see in my head lmao

@Significant_Jkl Looks fkn sick

@MarnixRekkers so cool, elegant design

Full Turntable animation the Spear corvette class starship #sciencefiction #spaceship #space

@Wripprap Thanks, it works due to the power of transparent .png

@Significant_Jkl Dawg the "caution" text hologram is such a cool fucking idea

Blender Utsuho model's Third Leg arm cannon WIP shapekeys☢️they will need some more work but I think the concept is cool. I always imagined her arm cannon was not permanently part of her and was a sort of "spell" she could cast. Since she's shown without it in official Touhou.

@sweet_keeki Amazing tip thank you

Here a tip on how to get a nice and sharp lip border 🤓 Usually, the texel density around the lips is low, so the painted border looks pixelated. To fix that you can add a UV seam on the inside of the lips, following the shape of the mouth border. That way, the lip border has its own UV island, which you can scale up to increase texel density. Also, the edge of the border will be sharp, since it's limited by the UV!

@_Wripp Good hard-surface work

@Halfcrow Thank you I hope to finish the model well.

@Significant_Jkl I really love this!!!!!

@Kaccelisk The bone driver has two shapekeys bound to it, up down and left right. They are set up so that when the bone moves up down left or right, the eyes do too, mimicking a rig but with more versatility of transformation. I hope that helps explain it some.

@Kaccelisk Hi, the way the shapekeys work is they modify the position of the vertices making up the eyes themselves which are parented to the head bone of the rig and therefore move with it while transforming. the shapekeys are driven by a single bone armature that I've set up as a driver.

every time i've made character models since starting i've used constrained rigs to move the eyes but now i have set up shapekeys for it for the first time instead, way more versatile and def what i'm doing for Okuu and every other model from now on

@MezoBayu21722 Thanks yo, when the model is finished I will try to get her uploaded so others could download.

@Significant_Jkl hope you can make a touhou blender animation just like minusT

Couple of renders from today ^_^ How does Alyssa sound for her name? I've been thinking about it along with her lore, and I'm thinking of modifying her base model somewhat #blender #b3d #VRChat #WIPㅤㅤㅤ

@The_Wolf_Around Reiuji Utsuho is a boss from the touhou project series :p.

@Significant_Jkl I guess, that's a valid approach. Go for it, and share your results. By the way, I'm not familiar with this character, is it an original character?

Time for that tedious thing called weight painting lol, i think i will use a combinatino of shapekeys and a rig for Utsuho's wings so that i can maximize what they can do

@BlendieStick Amazing hard-surface work

リコイルスプリング、思った通り見える角度があったのはいいんだけど肉抜きしすぎて絶対泥やら砂噛んで止まる気がする でもいいんだ、45ACPを2発同時発射するエネルギーとそれに耐える剛性があるはずなので多少の砂や埃は粉々で吹っ飛ぶんだ（ゴリ押し） チビ迎えに行くぞ #VRChat #b3d

@HenrryIsCool @moonlight_mag_ Thank you so much, that is the goal :p

@Significant_Jkl @moonlight_mag_ awwww she looks so cute!!!!

the Utsuho Reiuji model's cosmic cape material procedural through nodes, reacts to camera like a "window" like it did in the official touhou fighting games, also bloomers.

@BR4IN0FTHEM00N she might be the best (if you ask me) so it's a compliment

@Significant_Jkl (I'm gonna be so for real, I did not think of that, marisa was just the first magician that came to mind)

(Are you Marisa or something 'cause I'm seein' a nothing but fucking magic)
