Research Poll #2 Conceptualized (Creation Progress)
Added 2020-04-10 03:44:57 +0000 UTCI think I let my excitement get ahead of me this time, you'll see some images of brake down on what transpired on creation of this magnificent creature.
To create Azure, just like any other creation. I had to start by creating the Base Female Texture and Base Morphs, this resulted in the delicious pale lady (Jinn) afterwords was to apply the textures and start importing the bones.
I faced quite a challenge in Daz as I discovered that my base female model was overwritten by another morph which cause a slight deformation to the g2f model. in turn made it quite hard to import the spine, I managed to solve it but actually sank 2 days of progress. I guess that is what happens when you GoZ many variation of morphs over a year or so from ZBrush.
Moving forward was trying to lock down the colors, I tried a bunch but I eventually settled with Azure blue, as you can see there was yellow, orange and gold too. But it just seemed out of place. Once the color was locked down, then I Moved to full body texturing for scales etc. then added details on the end points of when flesh texture meets scales. Then came the wings... After rigging I discovered that the wight mapping was off. I have no clue why as in Blender it was working just fine. so i had to re imported again, after another session of rigging just to be safe.
Also I was playing around with the concept of having variation style wing membrane, mostly to see if I can make it invisible or translucent. It was an uphill battle again as I have no clue how to code anything in Unity 😅.
The rest was applying the tail, which was quite easy as it's a straight line rigg, no problems.
I hope you guys enjoyed the background adaption on how we created this magnificent creature.
