i've spent most of this year locked away in the lab, but as of a few weeks ago I AM BACK and we're streaming again and making more cool shit. checkout my new model and redesign! I think ive finally landed on an art style i can be really proud of, but theres still more to learn!

NEW MODEL AND SETUP DEBUT TOMORROW AT 5:00 PM EST we're overdue for a proper reintroduction, but unfortunately that'll have to wait until next year. for the time being were gonna have to move fast-but most importantly-get back to making cool shit all the time. see you for part 0

here's a little showcase from yesterdays stream! i built a new layout for my #unity vtuber app with simulated mouse tracking! this uses some IK stuff to match my mouse position, controlled by two different blendspaces for posing, some easing, combined with tracking from #warudo for my chest and head

I've been messing around with custom normals recently for anime modeling. I needed some more examples, so I just made a public reference sheet with different characters viewed from different light & cam angles. Mostly ArcSys models here. Ill add more later. Links below.

setup some macro finger controls for my hand rig inspired by something dillion goo showed off a year ago. currently only have a simple fist pose, but it works on an individual finger basis so you can isolate or delay. you can still tweak the result, and the constraints are all hidden for baking #b3d

playing dmc 2 for the first time and im nerding out over the gun poses. the way he just randomly shoots at other enemies with his offhand feels so sick. idk if this isnt in the other games or if ive just never noticed before

on a big cyberpunk kick replaying 2077, just rewatched ghost in the shell and Akira, and started the ghost in the shell show any reccs for what next I’m thinking of either rewatching the original blade runner into 2049 (haven’t seen 2049) or seeing patlabor for the first time
