Ah, I plan to sculpt them from a smaller block. As for the wider shapes and stuff, I can make adjustments somewhat easily, I think I've got the idea down and I also like the challenge. The problem though, is me trying to figure out if it's done or not. But sure!
I probably plan to use some kind of bone system, we shall see how I manage it as soon as I get there. Southpaw is basically a furry horror game set in an undergound facility located somewhere in North America, populated by crazed anthro whom wish to tear them apart. I started work sometime back in 2019, take it with a grain of salt, but I'm putting quite some work into it.
I do use Blender, if you'd be willing to get that I could certainly try and teach you the basics sometime.
I do plan on retrying it out sometime this weekend!
I never did get into Blender, I find the UI (even the revamped one) to be very, not user friendly.. I mean, it's like trying to use Linux when all you've ever used is windows. Like, having to type in commands for stuff that have buttons or dropdowns in Maya. I have used Maya a fair bit, and that's prob why blender is so awkward for me to use.
Ah, nice to hear! As for converting to polygon, would I be able to do that without having to make an entirely new model? Not sure of my rig by the way, I'm running some kind of Windows Laptop, yet it seems to be running most of my stuff rather fine. Core i5 it says, and it hasn't quite failed me yet. I'm just hoping I can get the fur on, this is my first anthro model so I'm still learning quite a lot.
I see, and I assume this well help in model conversion? I am somewhat worried about having to start from scratch. Is there a way I can convert the model to poly as was mentioned by Izarus?
Ah thanks! That certainly helps a lot, I'll see what I can do.
Yes, all characters in the game are anthro. Humans may be in the universe but they'll likely never be seen as that would take away from the furriness. Not all creatures will be hostile to the player even, some may be friendly, neutral, ecetera.
Thanks!
Thanks! I'll see about retopologize, I assume that it must be some kind of tool, correct? I may have to download it, but I guarantee that I'll look into it.
Rotopology is where you basically make it lower poly while still keeping detail. It's very taxing to calculate all the geometry in a game engine so retopology is used along with bump maps to still keep detail. I think.
Thanks! As a matter of fact I'm looking into it as we speak. In the meantime, I'm also rolling out a fresh, albeit untextured model as of now. It's a Carrier for my Darkwolf Empire setting. I think I'll actually make this into a 3D model thread so I won't have to make another.
A laptop with an i5, I would say not ideal for animation for sure.. Typically PC's are used for animation since only top end lap tops can handle that kinda workload. I mean, just to render a single image of a detailed model (especially with fur applied) could take hours, even days depending on how long you leave it to render. Hmm, but in retrospect, you did say gaming and not so much 'animating'.
