3D Ruuji - Progress So Far

I'm sorry that I haven't brought up new content this month since I've been spending most of my time working on Ruuji's 3D Model.

But I'm also happy to announce that the model is now done... kinda.

Let's check what I've managed to do for the model, I know this shall be considered a WIP post but to make it fair for everyone I won't unlock it for Supporters and above only due to how long it took me to post again ;v;

The Model itself

duh

I've shown this plenty of times but just in case some ppl have missed here's a close view of the end result.

The Rig

Clearly the most annoying part of 3d modeling, rigging isn't hard, is doing it well is what is hard. Here's examples of IK rigging which helps a lot when doing animation.

And the rest is rigged normally with shape keys that help the model not look horribly when flexing the legs, elbows, feet, etc.

Face's Shape Keys

Every model needs some face rigging and nothing is better than shape keys.

With all that set, the model is ready for animation.

Here's some random poses:

... Forgot to mention the vag and bootystar have shape keys too, perfect for the nsfw stuff.

Alt Clothes (?)

Yes, her casual clothes were made first before her main ones, the hoodie requires some adjustments and gotta mess around with the textures to not make it look like plastic.

And it is also rigged!... with some clipping issues too ;v;

It Ain't Perfect Tho

Please don't expect the model to be the best of all, keep in mind this is my first time doing a full 3d character with rigging and stuff, the model still has some clipping issues specially on her black scales and inbetween the shoulders and armpits so everyone should be careful when messing around with her arms.

Even if it has shape keys to fix some clipping parts, it doesn't always look good or might just cause more clipping with the clothes on.

The rigging and bones might be a mess, I'm pretty sure people will take some time to get used to the amount of scrambled bones specially from the head and hair.

The amount of shape keys for the face might not be enough and the ones that the model has some of them are not very good + people have to use the jaw to open the mouth which makes it a bit annoying and very limited for multiple expressions ;n;

What's Left?

• Her main ninja/assassin clothes, including her weapons, will probably work on them the next month.

• MATERIALS!! Ruuji has to stop looking like a plastic doll and have a more natural body... or give her a toonish cell shade for science -.-

• Probably more clipping fixes, if people have common clipping issues in specific parts, I'll keep updating the model. Trust me I'm sure there will be.

What's Next?

• Welp... As much as I wanna start right now doing some test animations and/or messing with the materials, I wanna go back at drawing and do some fan art this time as warmup before opening comms again ;v;

• Patrons can use it! If you didn't notice in the post, I keep mentioning "people have to..." like if the model can be downloaded by everyone and start using it and that's right!... kinda, it's only for Dragon Helpers ($10 Tier), I'll upload the .blend file so people with blender experience can test it and give some feedback so I can update it later.

• Ports!! I don't want every patron to stay out of the "Ruuji experience", so I'll be paying a person who does ports for Source Filmmaker to put Ruuji in there, if everything goes well, the model will be released for every tier ;v; ... And if I get the time, I might look around and see if I can port her to Unreal Tournament 2004, for science!

• Next Model? If I get the mood to do a new model, Kai will be the next one to enter the 3d world... I mean Ruuji needs some pp inside her holes, right? <:)

Extra!

Hooman!

And Heels!, cuz am fkin horni!

That's all!

I'll upload the .blend file later ;v;

Thanks~
