Progress with character models
Added 2024-01-10 11:15:42 +0000 UTCI've been trying to slowly figure out how to "properly" do the character models, regarding customization and having all the different variables show up on the character model. Previously, I had the crotch area and penis as two separate meshes. Now, I opted to instead have a singular model and use "Shape Keys". The penis just gets a hidden material applied if you hide it. Using shape keys, I can freely morph the character model and blend together all sorts of nice shapes and sizes. This also saves me a ton of time trying to have those separate meshes line up properly with different shape keys, and reducing the overall rendering demand by simply rendering a single mesh and simplifying the whole process.
For the whole model blends, I'm thinking using only one model per species, and no "male" or "female" specific models. Instead, using shape keys to blend between a masculine build, and a feminine build.
I'm by no means a modeler, this isn't my trade. And thus, these things simply take me some time but I have gotten better at it. It will improve further over time.
Love you all <3
