Week 28

I ran into a lot of problems with weight painting as I was having trouble trying to get the arms to bend correctly, but after hours of weight painting them I feel like the problem was with the model which I may have to re-do which I don't have time to do, or I could settle with something that somewhat looks right. Unfortunately I couldn't perfect the arm weight paints, looking back on it I might have an idea that could make it look better, but it still wouldn't be perfect, I feel like I have to re attach the hands if I want to get the weight paint perfect, but like I said I don't have the time, so what I got now works.


To speed up I made sure everything else that I haven't touched on the model has been weight painted in some way, so that I can export it to Unity. However this futile, as the model imported without any textures, as well as it didn't have a post processing package that came up with an error message. Luckily I fixed the post processing package error quite quickly, but that just lead to more problems, for one I couldn't find the textures for my character, two for some reason it multiplied my triangle on my model to over 2 billion, which I fixed by toggling the read/write section. 


The last problem was that it need an animation component, which none of the tutorials I watch said I needed one, so maybe I needed to update the SDK for VR chat or install an animation component, unfortunately I don't have time to install one or figure out how to get one, so I couldn't get my model into VR which was a shame, but other then the Animation Component and me needing to decrease the amount of triangles on my model it would of been able to be imported to VR, which apparently isn't that bad when it comes to problems for VR Avatars.

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...
