PROTAG MODEL UPDATE 2!

Except this time she's not in the void...

SHE'S IN SPACE!!!!!

(As per usual it's a lot of work so everything will be under the cut. REBLOGS AND COMMENTS ARE VERY APPRECIATED!!!!!)

I've done quite a few updates to their model this time!

First -and the most significant thing- her mouth rig has gotten an upgrade!!!

Instead of being directly on her face where I could only swap the texture, I put the (transparent) texture on a subdivided plane and shrinkwrapped it to the head, meaning it can now be moved and rotated and scaled!!!

It makes the mouth a lot of fun to animate.

On the topic of expressions... I also added some grease pencil elements to her expressions! I'm still working on how to add it to the rig but it's a cool addition as is.

(I am now noticing the left eyebrow clips through their hair on one of the expressions. Ignore that)

In smaller updates, I finished texturing the sweater! I actually redid how the shirts are textured (although the UV maps on the long sleeves definitely need to be redone.

And lastly, I updated them to have a bendy bone for their torso, which means...

THEY CAN JAM NOW!!!!!!

And that's all I have for today! I've already done a bunch for her model so I would love to keep updating it... if Blender so wills it lmao

As I mentioned before this was a lot of effort so any interactions are appreciated!!! Especially if you made it this far.

SEE YA SOON!!!! HOPEFULLY!

Tell us more about your OCs hehehehe

Ignoring the fact that I. definitely panicked when I first got this ask I'll talk about Protag here! They were initially a fill in for the player but has become her own character since.

Protag is the, well, Protagonist, of CDSWC/CompDatSim. While they mainly focus on coding and working with computers (they even do it for college), they've had experience repairing computers as well... ever since their childhood!

A very long time ago on a class trip, she spotted a busted computer and went on her own to investigate it. Out of curiosity, they opened it up and messed with a few wires -which is frankly a DANGEROUS thing for a nine year old to do- and managed to get it to work!

Pretty safe to say, it changed her life. She became fascinated with the inner workings of computers, though due to her not living close to any computer labs or owning one herself, they began looking into how arcade machines worked instead. Which was not ideal for the arcades (though GREAT for many arcade goers).

((I'm also now considering if this is where she got her love for games?))

Their family was eventually able to afford a computer, which means Protag was finally able to channel her interest in computers to the fullest (as well as gain an interest in software)!!! And that's where it all begins...

I have more about this series on my main blog @artsandstoriesandstuff!!!! and by more i mean. a few things

PROTAG!!!!

This will be my last model of the year but she came out so silly I love her...

She has about 5 different eyes and eight different mouths... BUT HER MOUTHS CAN ALSO FLIP SIDES!!! definitely one of my favorite parts about it.

I also figured out how to multiply different textures on top of each other! though it is a bit tedious as opposed to just drawing the shading lol

(and! the hair is made of metaballs! whatever those are. either way it works REALLY well so i'll probably use the technique again)

As much as I love the final result they are so. SO tedious to work with (plus the textures got screwed up about halfway through) so this may be a one time model unless I can fix some of the issues.

Reblogs and comments are very very appreciated!!!!! Though I think I put all my yapping in the post already so I'll put the silly extras under the cut lol

big steppa
