Chloe - Facial Tweaks, Body Fat Deformer, etc.
🕑 Added 2022-09-09 19:57:39 +0000 UTCWith Cid having finalized his work on remodeling and retopologizing our vixen last month, I've been taking it from here to do more tweaks on her before she's getting fully rigged in October. Since the model turned out quite different from the original, I'll be sticking to making her Zoe's sister and treat her like a new character in future animations. Zoe's original model will still have to go through an update whatsoever, as she's barely usable in the new version of Maya, which has a lot of issues with the old rig and the overall model in general.
In regards to Chloe I've first and foremost tweaked her face a little more, with most of the attention going to her eyes. I was already fairly happy with the previous iteration, but think the tweaks that have been made in the recent days were quite the improvement. Next to tweaks to her eye shape and brows I've also remade the physical eyeballs from scratch today to better fit her head shape.
There have been some minor tweaks to her mouth internals as well, mostly to tongue shape and uvula. The edits were fairly minor though, as I thought Cid already did a pretty great job with it, especially with remodeling her teeth, which look a lot more canine and less human now. He also connected the tongue to her lower jaw, which is a pretty neat detail I think!
The by far biggest change is her body fat deformer that I've implemented this week. This was basically achieved by making an alternative, chonkier version of her model and implementing it as a simple morph target. This way I can change her body weight on the fly and even animate it if necessary. We'll likely have another deformer that allows me to change her head size as well, as I feel like it needs to be a little bigger when she's a bit on the chonkier side. Note that once fur is added, her head will appear a lot bigger, as especially her cheeks will gain a lot of volume. Hair style will factor into that as well. Still gotta see what I'll do with her hair since I now want to differentiate her a little more from Zoe now!
Here's her torso at a thickness of 33%, which will likely be the default value for animations. I think it would make for a pretty neat visual trick to slowly ramp her thickness slider up through a future Encounter episode, haha! And yes, her shirt is having more of an underboob style now, which was in actuality the original design idea for OG Zoe. I just figured that her breasts never looked good from below, which is why I kept it at the tank top she wore.
Technically this is already rigging related, but since it's just a simple blend shape, it's generally no problem to put a skeleton on top of it.
I'll keep you updated on the progress on her, though the next update will likely be related to the Bunsen animation, which I had to sideline a bit due to the work on Chloe! September and October will both be pretty tight due to another animation project I'm signed on (unrelated to my work here), so things might move a bit slow! D:

Really hope this leads to some same-size vore, or at least not straight micro vore. Always like it when the prey makes the belly bulge

We really don't need digestion/wg animations from Cake. Cake is the only talented SFW wholesome vore animator (that I know of). I really hope Cake sticks with the current style of animations, they are amazing and I really don't want them to change.

Oohhhh... I really hope we get to see a same size digestion and wg animation using that morph, it looks super awesome!!!

I'm hoping the fat deforming means we might see some digestion/weight gain from ya >3> Don't get me wrong, I like the wholesome space hero things too, buuuuttttt

I thought initially that she would be thinner than Chloe given that her head is smaller, but slightly thick at 33% looks really good! I do also really love her maw, and I really appreciate the more canine look. Were you thinking of giving her longer hair since Chloe's is on the shorter side? Or maybe of going even shorter or doing something more stylized? Also wondering if there are any chances of getting a VR experience in the future?

Fluffy underboob! :D A sight a little human would love looking up at. ;3

Always looking forward to this Cake. And take care, do your best but don't overwork yourself. ♥

Since she's now Zoe's sister, and is obviously still going to eat people, I have to wonder what her personality will be like; what aspects of it are similar, and different. And what she sounds like. ^.^;

It's great she's become Zoe's sister since I love Zoe too much to be scrapped. I hope you don't change her too much. I also hope you don't make Chloe fat. 0% looks best. If you also get taken over by those who love same size vore and fat preds like so many others that never used to create that type of stuff I'll be running a mile lmao. I don't know why but same size and fat is taking over everything lately =/
