Tutorial: Making characters cry

Added 2024-05-05 10:43:23 +0000 UTC

Hello! Happy sunday~

Today's video is a step-by-step tutorial on how I make Lizard cry in my videos.

First, start by saying G'raha won't be in Dawntrail---

...just kidding (or am I?!)

Please let me know if this is useful to you and if you like this kind of video! I know it's very specific, and I wondered how useful it could actually be. I tried to make it so even if you're not trying to do exactly that, or you're just getting started, maybe there might be something useful there for anyone. You can try to apply the same method with a lot of other things other than crying as well. I imagine it might work to add something like blood or tears over outfits, or maybe scars.

When I made the Awakening video, I actually didn't know how to get the custom NPC clothes. So I did the exact same process with Graha's arm tattoo. The only difference was that instead of editing the UV map, I applied the tattoo directly to the faces of the arm...which was a lot more work and more difficult to get the positioning right - you might notice that it looks different in this video than in my current ARR WIP! Thankfully I know how to find the clothes for the NPCs now (and in case you're wondering, the real tattoo is part of the mesh of the body piece). But if you ever need to do something like that, it's a possibility.

If you have any questions or requests, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you very much for your support! :)
