T20 MODEL!!!!!

This is a MAJOR improvement since I last modeled them and, dare I say, my best 3D model to date!! I'm especially proud of the jumping animation lol

I've added a lot of cool stuff to this model so please keep reading if that interests you in any way!!!

(REBLOGS AND COMMENTS ARE VERY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!)

The main thing I wanted to talk about... THE HAIR!!!

It actually consists of three different hair meshes -one right, one back, and one left- that switch between each other depending on the angle of the head (using drivers)!

It used to only work when the head itself was rotated and only up to 180 degrees... but now it works when the head is rotated in any way!!! I just needed to change the drivers to world space lol

(Hence the horror movie scenario above)

I'm a BIG fan of how stylized this is though! It may not be the cleanest solution but it gets the job done lol

Next up... their mouth!

Similar to how I did Protag's back in the second update, it's a duplicate of the face near the reference's mouth that's shrinkwrapped to the head (and controlled by it's own bone). The main difference is I did this BEFORE I made the mouth texture which definitely saves time.

I used a similar method for the hair shine!

Lastly, I wanted to point out the rig! (Something I have not done for a while now that I think about it...) A few of the bones are hidden since they get in the way of the main controls.

The stuff I've added includes:

A bendy bone for the spine (which is surprisingly faster to set up if I know what I'm doing)

A bone to stretch the head (and a switch to turn it off in case I want to rotate the head normally)

Controllers for the end of the bendy bone (shoulders)

Controllers for that and the head (the whole upper body)

Controllers for the start of the bendy bone (hips)

Controllers for that AND the whole upper body (minus the legs)

Controllers for that WHILE including the legs (which is just the root bone I add to every model but shh)

This was also super fun to do -mainly since they're a very cartoony character.

Which also means -that's right- they can DANCE!!!!!!

That's pretty much all I have for today... although! I'll do a quick photo comparison of all the models I did for them because OH MY GOD do they look different.

March 19, 2024... when I was first doing Blockbench.

March 23, 2024... when I was STILL doing Blockbench (though this one is admittedly worse looking)

January 19, 2026... almost two years later. we get to THIS. somehow

It's not just these models because I've tried to model them at least two other times and failed (mainly due to the STUPID hair) but I am SO glad at the progress I've made with them. NEVER STOP PRACTICING!!!!!!!

Whenever I return to this model I'd like to try and model their other outfit... but I will for sure give them more mouths/edit their current ones.

I don't know who I'll model next (or when to be honest) but I think Trixie might be fun. Unlike T20 her hair is fun to do lol

WOW this was longer than I thought. Thank you for reading if you made it down here!!

I mentioned it already but any interactions are super appreciated!!! Especially if you read all of this I'd love to know your thoughts... mostly since I won't know otherwise LMAO

My first attempt at rig animation! Sorry if it's a bit simpler than I normally post but this was just an experiment for a University assignment so I wanted it to be basic so it would be easier to animate (I'll obviously add more details to them when I get more experienced)

Hope you like it! 💙💙

Slightly updated PNGTuber plus a couple other commissions I'd gotten to do in the past few months!

Genuinely love seeing these in action or getting to play with rigging them haha~

Commissions are currently open if interested in one yourself!

Threw my Toon Boom weird cat rig, called LilGuy, up on gumroad if anyone was interested! No lipsync and only one view, but has a variety of limb deformers and face animation.

(the example animation above was animated by a patron of mine, Honkachu!)

Showing off a WIP of my 01 sculpt and rig! Aka a character model for me to animate!

The sculpt:

And the actual setup for the rig:

Still not done, mainly getting more technical stuff set up to make the animation process smooth. I plan to get the face rig set up AFTER I texture because it'd be hard to do without the eyebrows visible yet.

Posing the rig :3 The model is actually animatable as is but I want to get it nice and polished, and I need to get more controls done.

ARGHHH I'm so proud of how it's looking. Still technical issues to work through, but I'm still learning rigging.

Ideally I can take parts of this sculpt and rig for the other characters to change proportions a bit. Anopheles and 407 will need a whole new thing from scratch for them though, but still very exciting. I'm gonna have to learn cloth physics and stuff for Anopheles' coat ARGHH so cool

Gonna be awesome to eventually have it set up for animating and its gonna be nicely textured!!! I'm saving texturing as a treat.

Additionally great for my portfolio :3

I can't work on it now cos of uni and shit but I'm itching to keep working on it once I'm done.

Rig Release - Classic Sonic

I've been wanting to do this since Superstars was announced, and it's been a month and some change since I began working on this - but I think I can finally say it's ready.

Hope everyone gets some good use out of this Classic Sonic rig!
