Going to start sharing some work I did on this Twilight Princess inspired VTuber I made for my pal moths Heres a couple of renders.

Monkey mouth texture

Whisker tests in Warudo, my initial version using shape key poses on the left and the updated one using pendulum bone rotations on the right. Made a huge difference.

Made a little blueprint for light reactive pupils in Warudo based on an OBS output. Has a smooth transition for both subtle and harsh lighting changes.

Another WIP tracking video. Fixed up some of the major issues but still got a list of additions/improvements to go through.

Hello #PortfolioDay ! I'm Rax, a 3D character artist from Australia currently learning how to make unique VTubers. Working on some freelance projects right now but always looking for more work👍

Another Warudo tracking test, added a lot of corrective shapes and secondary poses on the eyes and nostrils so he looks a bit more expressive. Also trying a new shader.

Setting up webcam hand tracking

Playing with tongue expressions, I'm coming towards the end of things I have to show for this character but I hope to share some of the new project I'm working on soon :) I'll also still be using this guy to test some more budget hand tracking solutions in the future.

Woah not so bright

I acquired a second hand Leap Motion V1 recently and it's been a really fun little gadget, shame these were discontinued.

greature

I had the honor of creating the cover for Red Vox new album Retcon. It's out now so give it a listen 🚪🪑

Another render I made for the Twitch premier, I may have some other development things to share from this project in the future :)

Test render of monkey man, still experimenting with how I want to present these.

Unfortunately got destroyed in compression but I gave him some particle fuzz just to soften the render up. Its a bit weird and doesn't look good in clear detail, but works for the angle.

Remembered this old variant of shield bot I don't think I ever shared here. One of my goals for this project was to not lean on too many crazy colours or lighting but I still made one for funsies.

Preview of a new VTuber commission, it's been great getting to work on a gnarly character with a unique style
