since last week I am working on a new nude character model for my render collection. Today I'd like to show you an early state of his new 3D body. Take notes that textures aren't finished yet and there's still some work to do on his overall body shape.
The finished model can be used in XNALara/XPS tool which I am working with to create the characters pose. This process is called "porting" since you take a model with a non generic format and convert it into a usable format so that XPS can understand the file and you can start creating poses.
To create poses you need to re-name each of the bones on a character model so the program understands the form and function of them. Depending on how "complex" your model is you can have a rather simple bone layout with ~200 bones or like newer models it can go up to ~1000+ bones. Of course we don't need 1000 bones to rename and pose the model - thank goodness 😅 but each of those bones need to be "checked" for function.
When you figured out which bone belongs to which part of the character model you can start re-naming them. Renaming around 499 bones for cap was necessary to get his base skeleton working. The remaining bones were deleted since they won't be used for posing the model.
With that said I am continue working to finalize his body and of course he will get a full beard too!
I don't like to set a straight finish date for my works but you can expect this model to see in new artworks in the near future, hope you guys look forward to it.
Anyways have a nice Sunday and stay healthy.
