I so desperately want to get back to animating, but this all still needs time.
Weight painting and rigging has been very painful. Butt I definitely see progress and the... light at the end of the tunnel.
Scenario: A group of male cat-like Pokemon (or similarly proportioned dog-like, fox-like) are dominating a female trainer. What Pokemon do you imagine fits best here? Including but not limited to Meowth and Glameow.
Been slowly but surely chipping away at stuff in the background.
Recent project has been working on a completely new Pokemon Trainer model, with textures made pretty much from scratch.
Here's a trainer wearing... most of Canari's outfit.
I have been working on new stuff here and there, but a lot of it is more on the side of model creation and rigging, with the general aim of speeding up model creation and animation.
...After I've been through the initial setup and learning curve hell.
Heads up: Had to remove my first 808 animation to unlock my account.
It's still available everywhere else.
If it happens with another post I'll likely try to appeal it, but I didn't want to deal with that right now.
Trying to keep the UV maps as close to the original models as possible, but that lead to the breasts having less detail.
With some UV and color attribute trickery, I can get some more detail in the areas I need to without destroying the original texture or UVs. For the most part.
Hypothetically: If I were to return to making new animations, what would everyone like to see more of?
Can be certain games/franchises, specific characters, generally non-human (or more humanoid) characters, and so on.
@Kato_Shuu2 Game files seem to differentiate between 'Normal' and 'Special' characters. Normal characters are the villagers that can move in to your town, whereas Special characters are shopkeepers, visitors, Isabelle, K.K. Slider, etc.
Currently the only one in that folder is Kicks.
Looking into setting up models for some Animal Crossing villagers. Suggestions?
Bonus points for species variety and characters I haven't done animations for in the past!
