Nadia's rendering is just Nadia.. Not the background. I originally intended to use an AI tool on the background so I can get away with only rendering 25% of the frames and use interpola...
2023-09-26 00:19:06 +0000 UTC View PostHello,
Here is Miku now able to smile and frown. I think this pretty much completes her face rigging. I am waiting for her voice actor to record & deliver the script for her a...

Anyway.. I had to re-rig the hands because I wanted to move the default position of the arms up to allow for larger muscles. Also I a...

2023-09-01 03:41:29 +0000 UTC View PostBoth elements from yesterday's post are improved. The Storm gods came through and told me a bug in the read node requires a "Calculate Velocity" node after it and that fixed the sliding flesh...

I'm rigging up Miku's face. Right now she only has meticulously weighted bones so she can only move her jaw. But that will soon change.
Also, is a clip of the skinny ...
2023-08-31 07:38:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone. Sorry this took so long, I had to tear this up and redo things several times before I found a winning approach. Some notes:

Just the torso so far. I have set up little grabbers on her tummy so she can distend or suck in her gut... but I didn't animate them yet.
