Small Sy Model Update
🕑 Added 2022-04-19 00:26:08 +0000 UTCI don't know if anyone out there is curious about this kind of thing, but in case you are... I did a thing!
I am working on the stuff I'm supposed to be working on, honest, but I'm waiting for replies for approval so there's not much I can do right now. In the meantime, I decided to make a few small tweaks to the Sy model. Sy was one of the first models I ever made- so early in fact, that I made an entire second new Sy model some time later (which is the one we're seeing here), and even that one is pretty old at this point, at least in comparison to my abilities now. She had some rough spots that were starting to bug me, and I have some time on my hands while I wait, so I gave her a few tweaks. I'd have to make another new model from scratch to really fix everything, but I think she's doing a little better now.
Tweaked the proportions- she's a little more filled out now, though I did make her breasts a little smaller. The head shape got a lot of tweaking, and the hair probably got the most work. I did notice after making this image that the old hair looked a little better from the side angle, so I went back and made a slight tweak to that already, but I think in every other way the new hair is better. Especially from behind, that was real problematic. Somehow that escaped my notice until the recent still image I posted of Kat and Sy together. That said, it has lost a little bit of it's "punk" now, I might have to go give it one more little tweak so see if I can bring that back a little.
Added some subsurface scattering to the body and fur, which basically acts to smooth the texture out a little bit. Also, at some point some things got a little bit messed up, not sure how that happened but I went through and fixed those. Her piercings got her little pink tips back, and her eyes were entirely the wrong colour??? Whatever, fixed now.
Anyway, as I said not perfect, but a bit better than before I think. I decided to do this now because I have a little thing I want to make with Sy soon, so it seemed like a good time. If I'm still waiting for replies tomorrow we'll probably see it then, but if not I'll just do it as soon as I get some time. In the meantime... happy easter I guess! Have some random Sy patch notes. x3

I'm very much a fan of the new shape.

Those fur and hair updates made some rough spots cleaner. I hadn't even noticed them without the before and afters to compare. I think you should have left her slimmer though. Just personal taste though. I universally like the slimmer look more on all characters
Ruaidri
Aw, well thank you! And for what it's worth, I started on that very same donut myself. It's a long road, it'll take some time and patience, but if I got there you can too, and it can be a lot of fun once you get rolling!

Your like one huge inspiration machine to me. Every time I see something you have done it makes me want to jump back in and struggle through learning how to model, rig, and animate. So far all I can make is a donut lol.

She's a real cutie. Very lickable shoulder :9

Love her eyes
Ruaidri
Thanks! It still needs some adjusting but it's much better I think.
Ruaidri
I do enjoy some itty bitty titties. :P

new hair looks super cute on her.
Ruaidri
Aw, thank you! She's always been a popular gal for some reason. I definitely have small something in mind for her that I think will be good fun, hopefully I get a chance to make it before too long!

Nice butt

I’ve always had a huge crush on Syandene. To see her go from a character in your artwork to an animated 3D model has been a wonderful journey to see. She’s just as beautiful and sexy as ever 🥰 You’re doing an amazing job, Ruaidri! I can’t wait to see where you bring her next~ :3

Watch WolfyDerps with me on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/wolfyderps?sr=a Great friend of mine needs a good model
Ruaidri
Oh? Got a link? I'm curious now. :P
Zevas1993
As soon as you do I have the perfect candidate
Ruaidri
No, not yet at least. Not because I'm unwilling, more so because I haven't learned how to set models up for that sort of thing yet. Also I don't believe particle based fur works for that kind of situation so I'd have to find another way to represent fur that still look good.

Do you do models for vtubers?
