XV Animations + Update
🕑 Added 2024-01-31 15:57:54 +0000 UTCSalutations~ Here I am again for weekly animations and wallpaper renders~
Animating 4 of them in 1 scene is my dream. I wonder If I'd be able to do that in the future. gotta keep grinding I guess! They are here just to fill an odd date. it's supposed to be the monthly Aranea this week, but it's still January... in some part of the world that is. but I include her anyway.
I learn something about mirror in Eevee render engine. turns out, reflection plane can't reflect Subsurface Scattering on skin. ...so, to fake a mirror, I use a wooden framed glass. so technically, a window. it's enough to create an illusion of Luna recording her reflection.
if I break your immersion by telling you this behind the scene stuff, I'm sorry.

NEW MODEL
It's Paine from X-2 this week.
No Rikku or gunner Yuna yet, but they are coming in the future. and I'm planning to rig both Rikku's X and X-2 version. The only problem is that It's a PS2 model.
some equipments are actually painted textures instead of modelled mesh. well.. I'l l try it anyway. or I could just rig them nude.
beside geometry, The problem about PS2 models is how they fake shadow. it's mostly painted on the texture. (some games still use that technique to this day... even FF14).
to make them look somewhat right in Eevee, I had to erase the shadow / paint them. a slight hassle, but it's not that complicated. still better than UV unwrapping.
In a way, old models are more complicated to do. you're probably going to notice some bad texture & geometry mismatch too since I use a medium-high poly nude body for all my characters. hopefully it's not looking that bad.
=================================================================
UP NEXT
It's Princess Sarah from SoP. ...oh boy... well...Good luck my PC.
After her, it's the Valentine release (it's just some girls in sweaters), hopefully I can add more later. I'm only able to setup 2 scenes this week, and I'm still not done posing 1 of them.
Yep that's it!! as usual, please do take care and thank you for your support and donations as always m(_ _)m
See you next week!
