Hey everyone! Sorry for the long break between posts/updates, but I want to show off what I've been working on.I took the time over the last month to learn how to make my own models and rig them for my animations and am nearly finished rigging and modeling both Tifa and Cloud. I've got some snips of how she's come out looking here. (The previews here are about 90% finished, still some textures from the game model need to be transferred). I've previously been a bit dissatisfied with how the models I've used look compared to the game, with somethings being a bit unfaithful to the proportions in the game, eyes not looking quite right or just a general low level of fidelity in the models, so I tried my best to use as much source material when making the model <3The new rig I'll be using also makes animating with a higher level of detail a LOT easier, so I'm hoping the time I took to make them will show in the animations I make :) This will also make a difference in my workflow in that I can feel a bit more ownership over the animations than I previously have, rather than feeling like there are somethings I wish I could improve but can't. I'm gonna try to stress test how the rigs came out with something on the shorter side so I can tweak and fix if necessary, but be on the look out for that this month. :D
Thank you all for your patience and support that allows me to take time to try and be as good an animator as I want to be <3
