Minotaur
🕑 Added 2024-01-09 11:49:46 +0000 UTCThis is a heavily edited version of the Orcine, from whom I took the body and gave him a new head, textures, and adjusted the rig substantially. It wasn't as much work as creating a model from scratch, but it has still taken me an entire month. The previous purchasers of the Orcine will receive this version for free, as a way to say thank you for giving my first heavy attempt at realism a chance.
During the month of September, I was working on making an alternate version of the orcine; the Minotaur. Well, I think he's done and even comes with a few upgrades. Makes sense, after all I have had a chance to use the orc and the mino extensively so I've narrowed down a few things I wanted to add/change:
- More Shapekeys!
- New (and better imo) Textures
- Cock Hammock, Shackles and Wrist Wraps
- Bones to Control new Clothing Items (3rd Layer in Armature panel)
- Minor Weight fixes (can't remember them all)
Rig Information
The gifs in the previews show the controls I've added with shapekeys and drivers, they are generally unchanged from the Orcine if you've used him. You can find them by the distinct, yellow arrow pointing in the direction they move. There are more than I can show given the limited number of previews allowed, but they're hard to miss, so give those arrows a pull and see what happens.
But, as with all ARP rigs, be sure to install the included proxy_picker script and rig_tools zip before trying to use him. If you have Auto Rig Pro already installed or have previously installed the mentioned files, there should be no need for it.
File Structure & Texture Info
Prviously I've packed the textures into the .blend file because that's the easiest way to share files, but the size has always been a concern for me since my upload speed is crap. So you will see folder containing the textures, and you can choose if you want to download everything, or just parts and discard the rest. But they will always be here in case you change your mind.
I am also including the throne, blanket, and gladius shown in the preview video (he spins). Usually scenery stuff is Patreon exclusive, but I want to focus more on Gumroad as it's an actual storefront.
The Minotaur, like the Orcine, is textured with 4K UDIMs (2 Tiles), while the other objects share a 2K UV map. Some of my finest UVs, and brought to my attention how much I actually enjoy UV editing. And yes, I do consider myself sane.
Since the files are separate, using the Find Missing Files function in Blender should get them working. Just make sure you unzip the textures, otherwise he'll be a bit more rare than intended.
Scifi Update!
I've given the bull a hefty content update, including a big hammer, some stylish carbon fiber robes, and the protection of chest armour. As well as a few weight fixes and rig tweaks. Might be a bit of clipping when put into extreme positions, but I haven't run into any egregious ones. No edits to the base textures, just adding additional ones as well as a new main file. Old version will be removed, but this one is just a straight upgrade, imo.
