WIP/Status Report First Week of April

Added 2025-04-07 15:31:02 +0000 UTC

It's been a week into April so here's some progress.

I wasted a day's work because I used wrong model for Squirrel Girl. Apparently there are two types of character model in Marvel Rivals, simpler gameplay model and higher poly lobby model. At first I worked on gameplay model of Squirrel Girl wondering why it's lower poly than other MR models I've worked on. Then I realized the mistake, pretty early but that's a day's work worth gone. Anyway work continued on the proper model.

So for the hair I set the ears as front hair so they can have physics and be taken off if you want to.

I set a mask so you can set the color of three parts of the ears separately.

I'm doing the expressions now and that's another complication as lobby model has really complex and uncleaned facial bones and weight. It's too messy so I ended up copying the weight from the low-poly model that has much simpler and cleaner facial weight (so turned out that model is not actually useless). More extra work but the result should be less stressful than dealing with the original face bones of lobby model.
