Sonic Movie Character Development - Shadow Day 033
8Todays session was a bit short however a very important next step. I purchased a seat of Fibershop so I could try my hand at making some quicker from scratch hair cards. On Bunnies project I knew I would not have time to make my own hair cards the more antiquated ways so I just hijacked various beard and head hair assets right out from CC4s software as is and repurposed them. She turned out a way I was ok with based on my wild hare species references but for some due to the Reallusion hair cards being made for longer hair her ends were too noisy towards the tip to the point her fur coat looked like a curly haired soft plushie toy rather than rabbit fur. This time since I control the cards the hairs root to tip are much more straighter hoping for better results on Shadow who should look more straight haired if you are aiming for a close to movie-like appearance. Got tired so this session is literally just making the card textures and head offline.
If you are a CC4 user you may wanna follow this whole process just to keep up with some success stories, missteps and backtracks. There will be plenty of mistakes made I assure you, but the point is taking advantage of these pre-rigged humanoids, putting your own new bones and appendages on them and still retaining CC4s built in facial rigging if you are like me, a character modeler/texturer with no animation chops whatsoever. Come along for the journey, this mess is finna be wild!
