It has been ten thousand years, but now the Noatun Nevrean is completed - despite everything - and I am incredibly excited to share these adorable avid avians with all of you! They will be released for SL at Abnormality, Aug 7th. VRC port coming very soon, as well!
Some friends asked - my workflow for shading is pretty basic, there's no trick to it. I do a super crude AO bake from the lowpoly onto the lowpoly, and then I just start painting. It'd be better to have a sculpt, but I like painting. Hair is still a WIP, but it'll get there!
Upscaling my old Kobold models - subdivs and creases and a lot of poly wrangling without messing with UV's!
Eaaah! Chibified horn and face, just to put the excess points into STR, I love him!!! 💘

Some texturing details, really happy with how this is starting to turn out.
Ended up having to iterate a bit more than I had expected to on these chicken UV's. I would have liked to carve up the fluff more, but I know a lot of you want to paint directly on the UV's in Photoshop, so that becomes a big factor for me to keep in mind!
Hair is down to 8k triangles - I will try to shave it down to 5k tomorrow. With some cleanup, I'm hoping to have the entire avatar at sub 40k, but I'm not sure how realistic this will be - the hands alone are at 8k.
Low(er) poly hair blockout. Pretty happy with the silhouettes, but the nape needs some work
Only hair, cheeks, and maw internals now, and then there's just... everything else left to do!
I feel this way of doing fluff really clicked for me! Although it's more work, once I'm done welding the neck feathers and detailing the crotch, I really want to go back to the back of the legs and tail and redo them with this new workflow, they look blobby by comparison now. :(
This is so much work, but I abhor having mesh seams all over the place
In 10 000 years when I'm done with this it's so over for you guys
Nevrean VRC/SL avatar - home stretch on detailing! Looking forward to retopo and painting!
