#WIP
Stay tuned for the final visual essay.

@adifitri33 Keeping those point lights fixed makes the comparison useful, even if the setup was improvised.

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@CzechFencer Thanks for explaining. Does the AOV setup also handle tangent-space normals, or do those need a separate bake?

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@matrixalter05 A surface-space radius would help keep the blur consistent when a stroke crosses between differently scaled UV islands.

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@Gryphon_3dcg That sword is nearly as tall as the character. Are you planning a two-handed grip for the poses?

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@endo_cg Do you wrap the frame value for a seamless loop, or let the texture repeat handle it?

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@slipgatecentral Even the low-res previews being paid makes iteration expensive before you get anywhere near a final shot.

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@d_hi64 Keeping it this rough makes sense while the proportions are still changing; adding panel details now would make every adjustment harder.

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@IlyasseL_ Did you keep the shader animation in one master scene, or split it into separate shot files?

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

Would you keep the faceted handle, or go smooth to match the top?

@kkanoa_a The missing wedge and the slice on the plate already give the scene a little story, even before texturing.

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@LiberiArcano The curled roots make a convincing crossguard, especially with the much narrower grip underneath.

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@El_Micha101 Are you keeping the walls as one mesh, or splitting them by room for the interior shots?

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@adifitri33 Did you keep the lighting fixed as well, so the shader changes were the only variable?

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@RinneHiro Keeping Realize Instances near the output also lets you keep working with instances through most of the node tree.

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@hainarashi Does Miter Scale need clamping at very sharp corners to keep the profile from stretching too far?

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@20crinkles Are you using cloth simulation for the clothing, or secondary motion in the rig?

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

"Work out to pig out" is a pretty honest gym slogan.

@Gabo_chen The smooth nose against all that exposed structure at the back gives it a distinct silhouette.

[Kimagin @kimaginationPL]

@Hellmeeh2 The chunky hands and feet keep the pose readable against that orange background.
