Raiden Shogun/Ei and Yae Miko WIP 1
🕑 Added 2023-04-13 00:07:20 +0000 UTCHi guys, hope you are ok, i have been feeling better, im aware of the results of the poll so yeah, those will be the characters for the next video, I didn't expect the vote to be so close but i liked your choice so i hope to make a good job with them.
I was working on the environment, i will be using a stage from the actual game but with a different atmosphere, i wanted a kind of night/fantasy/dark vibe for it even im not used to create that with Blender but i think it looks decent, maybe i will adjust some colors later. You can see Kangxi model in the pictures but it is just because i wanted to test how the body would look with the stages light and because i will use her body base for Ei and Miko.
I did some research too about some details about my workflow that i dont like, first one was that i use C4D to remove imperfections on the surface of the models, but i discovered that you can actually do that in Blender with the "Weld" modifier, i felt so dump haha, so now i can save a extra step. Another thing was "Normals" and how light interacts with the face, anime style models have a weird topology that makes the shading look bad on the face, you can see this in almost any MMD model rendered in a 3D software, in my last video i struggle with it, i tried to play with the lights to hide it but it is not optimal, i learned that you can manipulate how the light affects a surface using "Custom Normals", it can give a flatter look to the face, like in anime.
I was able to make work a MMD tool that allows me to "bake" physics and IK motions, saving them in a VMD file, sadly it has a issue, it doesnt register the rotation of the physics bones, it is suposed to do it tho, if this worked would be amazing for me, maybe some day i will find out how to solve it.
Last thing i did was to add ass bones to the body base of Kangxi, im not good with the weight painting but the result was ok, i really liked the animations in my Marin video, you know, the ones with ass physics, i think they add another layer to the motion that can make it more interesting so i will be trying to do it again in the next work.
Sorry for all the techinical stuff, i just enjoy learning new things, i will keep working on the video, see you later.

Hey man appreciate your work and consistent updates, just curious if it will take double the time for you to complete this video considering that there are two characters this time. I really like the idea though, good luck!
