Nevrean VRC/SL avatar - home stretch on detailing! Looking forward to retopo and painting!

Testing silhouettes in Second Life

Cabbage confit... God I love cabbage so much

Someone get me on Shark Tank, I'm gonna be rich!

Flow state insanity

Half the poly budget used up, 32k starting to look sweaty....

In 10 000 years when I'm done with this it's so over for you guys

Wew lad

Attending my first ever con 🤓

The goat...

This is so much work, but I abhor having mesh seams all over the place

I feel this way of doing fluff really clicked for me! Although it's more work, once I'm done welding the neck feathers and detailing the crotch, I really want to go back to the back of the legs and tail and redo them with this new workflow, they look blobby by comparison now. :(

Only hair, cheeks, and maw internals now, and then there's just... everything else left to do!

Low(er) poly hair blockout. Pretty happy with the silhouettes, but the nape needs some work

Halfway through retopology, got dang it's a lot of nitpick

Hair is down to 8k triangles - I will try to shave it down to 5k tomorrow. With some cleanup, I'm hoping to have the entire avatar at sub 40k, but I'm not sure how realistic this will be - the hands alone are at 8k.

Facial rigging commences

Ended up having to iterate a bit more than I had expected to on these chicken UV's. I would have liked to carve up the fluff more, but I know a lot of you want to paint directly on the UV's in Photoshop, so that becomes a big factor for me to keep in mind!
