Iridescent sparkle birb
🕑 Added 2020-12-13 00:31:22 +0000 UTCSorry I haven't been sharing much of the creation process on this one, but after doing all the recording for the creation of Nidhala I wanted to just relax and work through a model without any other concerns, especially where this one was going to be a very challenging build. Long periods of the recording would be me simply staring at the model going "Hrmmmmm" while trying to figure something out, which isn't super exciting. x3 I've got some stuff coming up I'll do more WIP stuff of though, and potentially even some recordings and stuff.
For now, have a shiny birb. I was actually super excited when I showed a WIP of the colours for this character and the commissioner asked if it was possible to give it a sort of iridescent effect. I had happened to learn how to fake that kind of effect very early on in my 3D learning (remember this guy? https://www.patreon.com/posts/issa-derg-31549918 I wanted to give him a sort of subtle iridescent effect so learned how to make it back then) but it never went anywhere so I never got to show it off. Now I can! Look at dat shine. :D
Model is still WIP so visuals are subject to change (those wings will likely get smaller) but he's coming along nicely. Lemme know what you think!

...you totally want to share the shader for that iridescent effect... right? ;)

The term ‘bumping the lamp’ definitely comes to mind ;) well done (Context: https://youtu.be/RWtt3Tmnij4 )

I'll parrot everyone else, those colors! 😲

Hah, thanks! That's the plan! It still remains to be seen just how good they'll look in motion, but early testing is promising.

Freakin' WHOA. Are you going to animate the wings and everything? They look so good!
Ruaidri
Thanks! :3 They're actually mostly rigged already! I ended up having to go with a simplified sort of "cheaty" method that isn't super realistic, but based on some quick testing seems like it looks good enough for my current level, at least. If I ever start rigging for professional movie studios I'd have to up my game, but I don't suspect that'll be happening any time soon, heh.

Oh wow, that's really cool looking! I do not envy your efforts to make those feathers animate, but I have no doubt it'll be beautiful!
Ruaidri
D'aw. :D Glad you're liking it so far, thanks! He's been very challenging to make, but I think he's gonna be a real nice model when he's all done. Such a fun character. :3
