Week 22

I wanted to make the thigh high socks for the character first as I thought it would be the easiest way to start. I started by selecting the Verts on the body where I would like the socks to go. Then I duplicated the faces and separated it from the body. Once separated I edited the socks to be a little bigger than the thigh so there were no clipping issues.


To finish off the socks I just extrude to the end of the foot and extrude the verts around the toes. lastly I make sure I connected all the faces so that there are no holes in the sock. I also edited the shape to give the toe out line so it looked more realistic. The reason on why I am making the socks have detailed, is because I was thinking of making it so that the player can remove the shoes, or replace them 


Next part of the Outfit that I started to make are the boots. They were really easy to make, I basically duplicated the socks that I made and edited the bottom of it to make it look more like a boot then socks. How I edited it, was I deleted the bottom of the duplicated sock then extruded down then out and then down again which gave the shape of the boot, I then made the end a little more pointy to make it look like a shoe instead of a sock


Then I started to add detail to the knee high boots. I started with the top part of the boot, I wanted to add a folded part at the top, as a stylistic choice, as well as most of the reference I looked at like Raphtalia from Rising of the Shield Hero, or Chevreuse from Genshin Impact had that style at the top of the boot so I wanted to do something similar. I started by extruding up a little bit at the top of the boot then I extruded outwards and then down, which made the fold but I didn't want to have the whole top part of the boot folded, so I cut a dome shape in the front to make it look more like the reference images. 

Next I deleted some faces near the knee section, this is where I will be adding in the Stitches of the boot, to make it look more stylistic I extruded the surrounding area of the boot to make it pop out more, then for the stitches I added in a box mesh, by pressing Shift + A, then selecting the box mesh, once I had the box mesh I shaped it to look like straps or stitches, and loosely placed them where they should be, I couldn't find a way to connect them. Something I learnt that was really useful for the straps, was that you can press Ctrl + L which will select all the Verts, Edges, or Faces which are connected to that object.


Lastly on the top of the actual shoe part I inserted inwards and then extruded down the small loop of faces to give a little more detail to the base of the shoe.

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...
