Misato wips#1

First off I want to say I'm sorry but this model will take a while to finish. This month was busy for me. A change in my work/sleep schedule really messed up my rhythm. I think I'll have her out before the month ends but it might go over to December.

For now here is what I've done so far

One part I had to deal with is the textures for this model is set up very weird.

They had the flat textures and the details separated. The green pic had the dark spots and the negative spaces for the lines on the clothes and hair.

I've been told Guilty Gear models do this.

So It took me a while to combine the two. A lot of restarts for this but I came up with this

There is probably a simpler way to do this and there is still some parts I need to go over again but I learned how to deal with this for next time.

Not sure what is causing that face but the texture is normal in edit model.

Setting up the nude base I used a daz body a friend of mine gave me. 

Because Neon Genesis Evangelion has a slender style I have to edit the base to match the show 

The way I usually start is resizing the base so it can fit the torso of the original body

From there I have to change the proportions to the arms and legs to match.

For the legs it's a little tricky since I don't want to mess with the premade flexes for the model. So I cut the part that need to be changed. 

After that I apply the changes to the mesh and rig but it left me with a gap.

For this model I used the bridged tool to make new faces to connect the parts. 

Once done, I move on to the arms. Same as the legs I separated the parts needed so I don't affect the flexes.

This is what I ended up with.

 Boobs, hips and butt are a bit bigger but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make 

Next was getting it ready to attach the head.

It looks like a messy cut cause I got rid of the daz head.

From there I just flatten it and resize it to get it as close as the neck as the original.

I haven't join them yet but that is where I'm at. Before I move the head to the new body I have to clean up the original model's rig.

Even though this is one of the best Misato model I've seen 

It has a shit ton of bones

No way sfm is going to take this so I'll have to do a lot of edits to the face rig.

I'll do my best but in the meantime I'll start a new poll later today for the next model to come after Tomura Shigarak

Look forward to it!
