Boar Work Progress

I adjusted the overall silhouette, including the boar's face, and then placed the fur temporarily.

The neck has been shortened from the original AO model, reducing the overall scale.

Also, to make the lower body appear larger, the waist has been enlarged and the base of the legs has been moved outwards.

However, when you compare the three figures side by side, they don't look all that different lol

Compared to the image illustration, the face seems a little big. I'll decide the size as I proceed with the modeling.

The entire body uses high polygon AO, so the muscle edges are sharp. We will now smooth these out and create a more fatty body shape.

The penis and tail are unnaturally straight, but it's preferable to make them straight at the modeling stage because you can bend them later after adding bones.

When I created the AO, I modeled it with an upward curve, but I had trouble with rigging and the shape keys for the foreskin.

The fur is temporary, so I will be adjusting the shape from now on.

I have not yet decided whether to use all 3D polygons, or to use plate polygons in combination.

However, plate polygons have the advantage of being lightweight and easy to place all over the body.

A recent Blender update made it possible to mix normal maps using geometry nodes. Depending on how agile this is, I plan to use plate polygons.

On the other hand, I do not plan to use a fur shader. The reason is that it is difficult to control everything myself, including the final material.

By the way, this high polygon is divided as shown in the image. This makes it easier to balance each part and maintain polygon density.

Blender has a limit on the number of polygons an object can have (of course, this depends on the power of your PC). Dividing it up like this and refining the design is the trick to working smoothly.

Finally, the number of polygons is reduced by decimating after combining with Boolean, but this puts a high load on the PC and can cause it to freeze. It's a daunting task (but I don't use ZBrush because it's expensive).
