Got the base colors down now. The real work starts tomorrow...

#

I don't know how, but despite me adding so much stuff the tri count ended up lower by about 500

chilly yarrow Jan 22, 2025, 11:54 PM

Do you think it's still called houndstooth pattern or is it just regular tooth

Well you got the british part right

#

Fuck me, how do I get these sculpting brushes into my newer version of blender, now

chilly yarrow Jan 23, 2025, 2:00 AM

#

I figured it out wahoo

#

Now you need to do extra work with marking brushes as assets for no goddamn reason

chilly yarrow Jan 23, 2025, 5:37 AM

#

The texture I was using to bake normals from might be slightly buggy

#

Kinda sucks cause that was the only nice tweed texture I could find

chilly yarrow Jan 24, 2025, 7:04 AM

#

Well, not a lot of progress today on account of TEXTURES... but I did get a pretty spiffy hat out of it

chilly yarrow Jan 25, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

Phew, okay. Think I've got the textures done now. That was painful

chilly yarrow Jan 27, 2025, 2:02 AM

#

The model is complete now, but it wouldn't feel right to not have him packing some heat. and uh.
I forgot how terrible I am at hard-surface modeling, holy shit

#

How do gun??? can anyone know what do?

chilly yarrow Jan 27, 2025, 5:41 AM

#

Looks marginally less shit with textures, I guess

#

I guess a plus is that I don't have to put too much work into the topology since it's not gonna be like, bending

chilly yarrow Jan 27, 2025, 9:00 AM

chilly yarrow Feb 10, 2025, 3:56 AM

#

good progress on the head so far. but it still looks kinda weird without the fur on the sides

#

I know i have to make the chin a bit bigger, but the subdiv just says "no"

I SWEAR he’ll look better when i get the furcard panels in place

debalded (for now)

chilly yarrow Feb 11, 2025, 7:09 AM

#

bleh, not a lot of progress today. just some furcard stand-ins before i retopo the head and some basic torso geo

#

also a todd for height reference

chilly yarrow Feb 17, 2025, 6:11 AM

#

Hands and feet, plus partial head retopo done today.

#

I also tweaked the teeth so he's not as scary-looking now

#

I know his head is kinda huge atm, I'll have to fix it when I get all the things that require mirroring dealt with

chilly yarrow Feb 18, 2025, 6:40 AM

#

Head retopo done and facial rigging (mostly almost) done. Fuck rigging eyelids, man.

#

Also made a matcap for his monocle bc realistic lighting doesn't look good with it. Though I need to adjust the blue/white balance on it

chilly yarrow Feb 19, 2025, 5:29 AM

#

Furcarding is finished, eyebrows and some basic texturework for the hat

#

Progress is a lot slower than I would like, but it's fine. Spending time with my niece while she's here is more important

chilly yarrow Feb 22, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

Last time I opened blender all i did was halfassedly add some arm bones and said "yup, that's good for today"

#

god, I hate rigging. but it's so good when done right

chilly yarrow Feb 26, 2025, 6:27 AM

#

Kinda stuck on what material I should make his gloves. Tried silk, but that ended up being way too shiny. Might save it for his cape

#

leather driving gloves softer than what I do for Todd/Smiley's work gloves?? Or a simple cotton? A character's wardrobe speaks volumes, but I'm not sure which one speaks "moriarty"

chilly yarrow Feb 26, 2025, 6:56 AM

Also the rigging work is close to done now, I just keep getting distracted

chilly yarrow Mar 1, 2025, 8:49 AM

My sister gave me a sidequest to retexture a VRchat furry avatar she cough found randomly and I fear I may almost be cooking too hard

Is this a wicker base?

chilly yarrow Mar 2, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

I have no idea. My sister just came up like “yo do you wanna make a custom texture for this model I definitely obtained legitimately”

#

It had wings originally but i removed them bc they were cluttering up the design (and also for performance bc they had like 30 physbones each)

#

I have a picture of the original one somewhere, let me check

#

Here it is

#

Unfortunately I don’t know who originally created it or what its name is, though the files i was given call it “grinner”

#

Back onto other furry matters at hand, Moriarty's progress is slow. For some reason, I'm having a crapton of trouble with the weight painting on his torso.
Seriously, how does this happen??

#

There's also the matter of me being persistently bogged down by life stuff lately, getting distracted and trying to fix 500 other slight imperfections in other places on his model

chilly yarrow Mar 8, 2025, 4:44 AM

#

Finally got a day in to work on this guy. Progress is still slow, but more tangible now (most of what I've been doing can be boiled down to "I added bones in his butt and fucked up his teeth slightly, i swear this makes it better" that aren't really visibly improvements)

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 9:18 PM

#

you know what I just realized. I fucked up the textures on todd

#

I didn't notice until just now that their shirts are off-white yellow/green tinted, I made the one on his textures pure white

deep flicker Mar 11, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

I wonder if there’s any colour sheets for them

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

There's one for Smiley's post-miyazaki redesign that I found. But it's low quality and I can't make sense of the color codes

#

For some reason they gave him three different shades of pink, which is present in both miya and post-miya designs. I don't know why they would do that

#

I didn't notice this either on my first go-around with smiley so all of his pink accessories are the same shade

deep flicker Mar 11, 2025, 9:25 PM

I think some people in the anime community know paint codes but alas

Dishonest Apothesis

@ligbi · Dishonest Apothesis

I have been TRYING to find the name of the brands of cel paint(s) used in the 80s and 90s so I can find a color sheet for the ideal limited pallet to draw from for good good fake screenshots. I’ve se…

#

Maybe?

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

This seems to be the one, it lines up using a reference screenshot

tumblr_ccc6dc73118a6cdcb8b6064c78118e25_148c24a7_1280.jpg

#

some of the colors seem to be missing though? or perhaps custom

deep flicker Mar 11, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

Who knows. Cel colours are a massive rabbit hole

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

Namely A20 for the hat and O30 for thecoat and pants

deep flicker Mar 11, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

Probably

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

G7 being the color for the undershirt matches though, this will be helpful. thanks

#

Though I wonder why some of the colors that match look a lot more saturated/bright in the screenshot as opposed to on the sample sheet scan

deep flicker Mar 11, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

Cameras and scanners can be a pain for colour matching

#

No Pantone codes either

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 9:36 PM

#

Doesn't help that their colors vary a lot depending on the episode... different paint batches? Potentially also a film restoration issue too

deep flicker Mar 11, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

Highly likely

#

Having direct cel access would confirm if the paint batches are different

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

Cels...

#

https://c.tenor.com/WZV5pw6p5dUAAAAi/dies-death.gif

#

I have this scan of a cel of Todd but the colors look off

#

Also no accounting for aging (this anime is from the mid 80's)

#

And this one (one shot where they did, and one where they forgot to color-correct the footage)

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

deep flicker I think some people in the anime community know paint codes but alas

would you happen to know who might?

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 11:15 PM

#

I've got a little package set up for anyone who might be interested in looking at this, with the color sheet, screenshots and cel scans/photographs

deep flicker Mar 11, 2025, 11:41 PM

#

Getting colours compared and whatnot compared?

chilly yarrow Mar 11, 2025, 11:44 PM

#

Yeah. Currently I'm trying to find exact screenshots of some of the cels I have included, but other than that it's basically complete

chilly yarrow Mar 18, 2025, 10:23 PM

#

Moriarty progress is still slow. Why? because blender keeps doing whatever the hell this is to the UVs when I use a multires subdiv on it and it's pissing me the fuck off

#

I've spent the past day just re-sculpting the torso only for this to keep happening

chilly yarrow Mar 19, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

Finally figured out a solution and got the normal maps baked! Only took all day!
(seriously, I hate texturing....)

#

Between here and another server I asked in it's 2-2 🫠

#

Guess I'll wait till tomorrow, then

#

In the meantime I gotta figure out a replacement texture for the furcards that isn't literally grass

chilly yarrow Mar 24, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

Bleh, I think I may end up just having to entirely replace these furcards cause they look like ass when you look at them from the wrong angle

#

I wanna play Kenshi today though

chilly yarrow Mar 25, 2025, 6:55 AM

#

Turns out doing furcards like a normal person works a hell of a lot better than whatever I was trying before (even if I think it makes him look too soft and fluffy)

#

Still needs work though, having to manually edit like 500 little panels. ugh. And the main face mesh needs to be tweaked a bit too cause it looks weird from the front

chilly yarrow Mar 27, 2025, 4:51 AM

#

Finished furcarding today. I hate how laborious is is, but the results speak for themselves. 500 tris worth of fuzz, give or take (not counting the stringy hairs on the top of his head)

#

I also discovered the viewport option that lets you blast your corneas out

open cairn Mar 27, 2025, 4:52 AM

WIAHHRM..

#

WHAT MODE IS THAT

#

I HAVE TO USE ALL CAPS TO YELL OVER THE COLORS THEY ARE SO LOUD IN MY HEAD

chilly yarrow Mar 27, 2025, 4:54 AM

#

Render Properties (top camera on the right in layout mode) > Color Management > set view transform to "false color"

#

You will probably want to do this except you set it to "standard" instead cause it's set to "filmic" by default which makes your scene's colors look a bit washed out

#

You can also adjust the contrast to make it even more eye-burny

#

I am going to HATE doing the cape...

#

Especially bc I cannot figure out for the life of me how it fastens to his neck

open cairn Mar 28, 2025, 6:06 AM

#

I have a special technique for that actually

#

I call it "making shit up"

chilly yarrow Mar 28, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

I think that's what the creators did too cause the way his cape parts seems to change from scene to scene

#

Sometimes it's over his left shoulder, sometimes it's over his right, sometimes it's down the middle

#

And the one time we see him take it off, it happens offscreen

#

Only thing I can conclude for sure is that his cape is likely made of some kind of silk due to the fact he has used it as a parachute on multiple occasions

#

(Fun fact: early parachutes were, in fact, made of silk. when the parachute got used up, they would frequently re-use the fabric for clothing)

chilly yarrow Mar 31, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

tried to experiment with cloth physics to figure out how big his cape would be flattened out and accidentally turned him into a table somehow

#

chilly yarrow Oct 20, 2025, 5:16 AM

#

Now that I'm done Moriarty, it's time to go back and clean up todd with the stuff I've learned

chilly yarrow Oct 21, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

Well, I think I did pretty good considering I had to completely reconstruct the brow and ears without altering the rest of the face mesh too much. The undersides of the ears now have detailing as well

#

I did have to make a new material and set of texture sheets to fit it all in though, which I'm not a fan of...

modern shell Oct 21, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

chilly yarrow Textures fixed, think Moriarty is pretty much complete. Although I can't decide ...

Do it without the normal maps, unless you plan on giving them all detailed fur textures.

chilly yarrow Oct 23, 2025, 2:15 AM

#

Alright, Todd is done! (again)
Which means, of course, there's only one left out of this batch to do...

#

I also forgot to do this earlier, but a side-by-side comparison of the old and new versions of Moriarty's model

#

Believe it or not their polycounts are almost the same (old: 19,226 vs new: 20,503) but the new one has considerably more bones (old: 55 vs new: 159) mostly on account of the face being animated with bones as opposed to shapekeys this time as well as extra flex bones for the joints

#

The polycount comparison also isn't accounting for other stuff (like the fullbody cape, collision mesh and cane) but just for the "base" version

chilly yarrow Oct 29, 2025, 3:31 AM

#

it begins

#

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to nail down the face shape, especially given how inconsistent it is

chilly yarrow Oct 29, 2025, 6:54 AM

#

Starting to feel more confident about it
Although I almost feel like it's too square this time (compared to the old one on the right, which feels too rounded)

chilly yarrow Oct 29, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

The nice part about making your own models from scratch is that you can copy-paste parts and not be lazy because you already put effort into making them

chilly yarrow Oct 30, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

Getting somewhere

chilly yarrow Oct 31, 2025, 5:38 AM

#

Not a lot of note today, it was mostly retopologizing the face. Current tri count is 19,800, which should be close to final (although, 300 tris isn't a lot of wiggle room... my goal is to keep it below 20k tris)

chilly yarrow Nov 2, 2025, 8:45 PM

#

Managed to squeeze an extra 1000 tris by redoing the inside of the mouth and removing some edge loops on the top of the head where it would be covered by the hat most of the time

#

Only issue I have with it is that it makes the topology ugly as fuck, but since these areas won't be deforming a lot and the shading is pretty much exactly the same, then it's all good

#

I learnt a trick using some toggles on the sculpt smoothing tool that made tweaking the mesh go a lot faster

chilly yarrow Nov 3, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

Finished up with some small details, got it all unwrapped and made a placeholder color texture. Less progress than I would have liked, but i got very sidetracked chatting today lol

Not a lot of work the past few days, been busy helping parents renovate grandpa's old house. But today I at least got some materials set up ready for baking

#

Feel like I could be doing a better job with the textures but I don't know enough about materials to really do anything about it right now

Sometimes I wish I had like, substance painter, but I feel like that program takes just as long to learn as Blender itself (and it's not even free!)

Pretty much ready for baking now! I took some extra time to scummify the materials a bit more and added decals (I know the electrical box one doesn't really belong but I wanted to add a bit of canadiana on there)

#

I'm also going to add some rivets to the design as well but I'm going to bake the texture on one first so I don't have to do the tango with 500 micrcoscopic pieces of metal

chilly yarrow Feb 2, 2026, 5:37 AM
