Week 3

For this week I wanted to research the different options for characters I want to do for this project. Before I go into what type of characters, I want to make I just want to say that the character design will be in an anime style as that is what most avatars look like in VR chat, and it will be a little easier for me to make, then making a realistic looking character.   

Option 1 – Demi Human, the first character I wanted to create was a demi-human character. The reason on why I wanted to create this type of character is because I like the animal human type designs that people come up with. I think it would be very interesting to make one of these characters as it means that I would have to give the character some animal details as well like big ears, horns or add some fur to the character. However, this is one of the most common type of Avatars you would see on VR Chat so if I was to try and make a demi-human, I would have to make it to a great quality. Examples of what the character should look like(4)(3)(5):





What I would like for the outfit for the character would be something traditional from Japan or Vikings, something that looks like a hunter would wear or a mystical looking Japanese outfit.

Option 2 – Wisp, the next character I wanted to make was a wisp or ghost like character, as you don’t really see much of those avatars on VR Chat so it would be kind of cool to do something out of the box, also I like the theme of Wisps as I think they have a nice blue colour scheme, and like the design that people come up with for them. Examples of how I would like the character to look like(6)(7)(8):















For the outfit for the character, I felt like gothic Victorian would be very fitting with the theme of Wisps.

Option 3 – Knight, Lastly, I was thinking of doing a Knight character because I really like knights, that’s pretty much it, however I will be making them a fantasy knight so I was thinking of adding stuff like potions or magic scrolls to the characters waist or something, I also could a toggles which make a lot of different magic spells go off. I do see a lot of Knight Avatars on VR Chat however I do not think any of them are actually that great so I can give it a shot to make my own. Examples of what I want my character to look like(9)(10)(11):
















I added both Male and Female concepts for this theme because I want the option to at least have a chance to do a male character as the other themes don’t fit males to well. I most like won’t do a male character though, any way for the outfit I didn’t want them to be fully armoured, I wanted them to be partly armoured

Week 19

To start this Week I went back to the fringe and edited it around a bit to make it look better, I also added a few extra strands of hair to make it look more detailed and on top of the head I made a Cowlick. I start the Back of the Head by making two long strands of hair, and then editing them slightly so that they don't look too similar, as if the all the hair strands on the back of the head look the same it might look wrong and that it has been fabricated instead of naturel. This time I used the Mirror modifier to make the hair symmetrical, I don't finish the hair though, I just add a few more hairs by using the mirror modifier. Whilst I was making the Hair strands I was still keeping in mind to change the flow of the hair and the direction the bottom of the hair was pointing to make it look more natural. I think it is coming along pretty well, however there are still holes in the hair that people can see through, after watching Darcy's video it was easy to cover up these...

Week 17

Last Week I had done the feet, this Week I move onto the las body part needed for the model, which are the hands. Yet again I looked at the Youtuber 2AM for how he made the hands, because the model will be consistent if I follow the exact same guide all the way through. Like the foot we will start by making a box and loop cutting (Ctrl + R) it, but this time we will loop cut it 3 times along the Z and Y Axis, and once along the X axis. Then I scale the box down along the Y axis, I move the box up select the bottom faces and extrude them down along the Z axis to get the wrist of the hand. Then I delete the faces where the first finger would go, then like the foot I make a circle which has 6 edges, I scale it down to be about the same size of a finger and then I extrude it upwards along the Z axis. I then Loop cut Twice on the finger to get the joints, and then I make two more loop cuts on each joint one above both Joints and one below to make supporting edges. I face off the top of the ...

Week 20

Now that the Hair is done it is down to the last part of modelling which will be the cloths. I looked at 2 AM for his tutorial on how he makes cloths for his characters, he looked at games like Genshin Impact, and Honkai Star rail and how they design their characters outfits, and used some of the same methods to create an outfit for his character.  (39) He made the cloths by either selecting some parts of the body and then duplicating it, and separating it to get the cloths, or he made certain parts from scratch like the jacket, or the chains. This video is very helpful as I wouldn't know where to start on making cloths, but this video helps clear things up and simplifies it in a way which makes it easy to understand how to make an outfit.   Although I have a modelling sheet for my character and I have been following some of it and changing other parts, I was thinking that I could change the clothing or the theme of the character to something different, the first Idea was...
