I *thought* I was very nearly done with the character creator, but something was nagging at me. I *felt* like something was missing. I was right.

This week I added the option for changing body height, "scale" and head size. Before all the characters would be same height and have the same basic body frame. If there were 10 characters all standing next to each other, despite all the other work, they would still look the same from a distance. Now with these basic options, this is no longer the case.

Additionally, I've long wanted to some more realistic interaction with the breasts/ass. A little extra jiggle, some deformation when pushed on. This has also been implemented. I found a good solution for softbody physics and in addition to the previous physics, the squishy jiggly parts now have subtle movements when interacted with. I am very pleased with the results here and this will make a distinct difference in the sexual interactions going forward.

I also found a way to drastically cut the loading times for the appearance cards. Before, loading a face was taking up to 30 seconds with whole characters taking even longer. Now whole characters load within about 5 seconds.

I also discovered some new (to me) options for creating textures in Blender. Hopefully that will help in creating the clothes and underwear going forward.

At this point I think I just need to run through some testing before finally being done with the Character Creator.
