Izumi 2.2
🕑 Added 2023-11-17 03:23:45 +0000 UTCThe usual tweaks here and there but the big changes are:
-New location for Head, Neck and Center Bones.
-Lower Body bone points in a different direction.
-Slightly different position for all finger bones.
-Side bones for the upper and lower lips now move independently.
-Stronger weights for side bones for upper and lower lips.
-Removed useless hidden bones, including auxiliary bones that were used for posing her feet only.
-Lower body, upper body, center and groove bones are all in the same location and can be easily selected from the side panel in MMD.
-New morph to move center and groove bones to their old locations.
-Reduced vertex count for the tie in her bunny outfit.
Now the changes in this version that required a bump from version 2.1 to 2.2 is changes to her rig, some motions were affected but I already corrections to them and I will list and upload them later this week.
This changes are mean to get better results for her future blender rig, for the patrons that have access to her current blend file, I have some news, I've been working on the blend file preparing for her blender rig and so far I have already cleaned it quite a bit, now every outfit has it's own rig instead of using the bone layers for the body rig.
Although blender 4 no longer has bone layers I, but bone collections, it was still necessary to clean her body rig, once I am ready to start working on upgrading her rig for blender I will upload the blend file I have right now.
Blender 4 has some stuff I want to try but I will not be updating to it until the MMDTools add-on catches up to blender since it is currently not supported along with the bone manager add-on, I was counting on that one to make Izumi's rig more user friendly but it is unclear if it is going to support blender 4 or not at this time, I will search for an alternative regardless.
Now since the next animation will take quite a while to complete, I will be making videos every now and then to keep the content flowing and that will allow me to make progress in the animation and my rigging and animation courses.
If you have any questions let me know.
