Blender's node geometry fur.... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
Posted 5 months agoSo, as I mentioned I was working in my Renamon and used hair with node geometry... I groomed her, she looks beautiful, I tried to pose her, and figured out I needed some basic fur simulation (specially in her ruffle) allright... Let's try it...
Wait... WHERE IS THE SIMULATION FOR HAIR WITH NODE GEOMETRY?!?!?! *looks online, unfortunately that isn't implemened* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Deskflip*
Ok, back to the old particle hair simulation then... Like Ausf E. But heck, that was such a dissapointment!!
I know there are workarounds, and even one plugin which can be used, but it's a PAID one and unfortunately I'm unemployed and can't spend any money whatsoever in these things. (I looked others alternatives... Arr but none are available yet)

Happy for the faves!
Posted a year agoI'm really happy for every single fave I received in my latests renders. Thank you all!!
Note: yeah, I know I wrote the same thing some months ago, but hey, I still appreciate it!

Prototype 07 Ausf D Mark IX - Tomorrow, and extra data.
Posted 2 years agoSo, the previous Yoga poses allowed me to test her rig and allowed me to figure out what she is capable of. In the process I eliminated some superfluous bones, tweaked some limitations, fixed things here and there. I think she is good enough for release. Surely there will be several things to fix but testing every single one would take me forever. Mainly because I lack motivation and need to struggle to find any.
Think of it like in an RPG, Some actions requires Action points/power points/ Mana/Units of time. Etc.
When one is having fun in something said action requieres no... "action points" (or "AC" from now on). Same with things that you fully know that it will be useful.
As I mentioned in a previous journal I decided to resume with my Renamon project. I could say that all previous iterations (Ausf A-B - D Mark I to VIII) were driven by a desire of doing the best rig I can, and perhaps make a model which could be as good as others out there. Despite the fact that my Renamon it's SFW (while most popular ones out there are NSFW which is ok).
I could go on with past failures. But long story short: I was discouraged that my previous model had no success at all. And after seeing other's failures (people which had infinite more success than what I can imagine and still blame their followers for barely get a few hundreds of likes) I decided to retake the project. Do further tests and I found out that my own model was cumbersome in some areas.
Surely nobody remembers the Ausf B model, which was followed by a document which explained every single setting. Heck, even I don't remember what the document said!
Ausf D Mark VIII had a ton of "scale this for do this - Do this for that". After the hiatus I found myself trying to use the model I created and wondered "what the heck this is for?" Which I simplified as much as I could.
Talking about this I wonder. Why every single rigged model out there uses catrig for blender? I downloaded several characters for blender which uses catrig and I just can't frigging figure out what does what. And the funniest thing is that most models I found out there uses this, even Fiverr riggers says "I will use catrig with autoweight and I will charge you for this" Damn! Here I am, worrying about even the inner most vertix of my "hand painted" model and people out there charges money for such lousy thing...
I would flat out REFUSE to just carelessly use such automatic system, autoweight everything and charge for it!. If I would charge for something I would make SURE that I can account for every single thing I did, and fix everything I was pointed to.

Posted 2 years agoI'm really happy for all the faves I had lately. Thank you to all for every single fav!!!
Why I decided to resume the Renamon Ausf D Mark IX projec...
Posted 2 years agoBasically some months ago I quit doing 3d art, the main reason was that what I posted had little to no faves (0 – 2 favs, I consider it nice if I have 3 – 5, and if I ever have 12+ it’s a “woow!!”)
In the past I wrote about it (specially if I drank that night) and I did get some cheerful messages, but nothing else.
So, I didn’t wanted to be a drama queen and I just… stopped posting. No goodbye message, no nothing. I even deleted my Renamon model which had like 3 downloads, even when she was for free.
And meanwhile I keep watching art, and reading comments of some artists I follow.
Then I carefully read the comments of two artists who kept writing, both did really nice art (that’s the reason of I follow them). But both kept complaining that they had very little faves/likes and kept crying that their art is not noticed out there.
Then I watch the faves the first one has per uploaded piece: 12 – 40 faves.
The second one… 60 – 250!!!!
And the second one kept complaining for over a year that he/she (I keep it vague because who is the person isn’t important, just the fact) that nobody likes his/her art. Despite having like 10.000 followers and only a very small fraction of these gives a like to what this person uploads. Which makes it believe that nobody cares about what he/she does.
I found myself despising such behavior. I’m not the kind of person that writes about what I don’t like, and definitely I didn’t said anything to this person. Often I thought in writing cheerful messages to this person but it’s likely answer would be something along the lines of “Oh, that’s nice, but if you don’t commission me then your message it’s useless!” (in fact this person already said such kind of things to others and god forbid that you say anything about being more cheerful for it’s success and it’s followers! You will be called ugly things, blocked and will keep crying about how people are mean to him/her).
But then I noticed that despite the differences, having 1 – 3 likes or having 60 – 250, the mindset it’s more or less the same.
So much that in fact this person deleted dozens of his/her latest art because “after all nobody cares about that” (fortunately I save to my hdd any art I like. I like to collect images). I really thought that was pathetic and thought “What about all those people who enjoyed said art? Now it’s lost forever!”
Sometimes art isn’t noticed immediately. I found myself seeing a cool piece of art and then dig in said person’s gallery only to give a fav to something they did years ago because I thought it was cool.
And I realized that I did exactly the same thing that pissed me off: I removed a piece of art that perhaps someone might have enjoyed. When I removed my Renamon model I acted in the same way that this person did. And if I thought that such action was pathetic then what I did was pathetic as well.
I do believe that everything it’s a matter of attitude. You can complain and keep in constant sorrow state or do something about it.
And about this artist. I gave likes and even retweets, but when he/she writes that “Nobody cares about it’s art because only a very small fraction of it’s followers only does that and that is a prof that it’s an artist who nobody likes” then I feel that ANYTHING I can do for this artist (even commission it! Because I do know that people commissions him/her weekly but keeps complaining about it) it’s useless. Nothing I can do can help this person.
But the whole thing teach me that I really should change my mind. I really should be more positive. Even if I have 1 – 3 likes… I really have to restrain myself to send a “thank you” note to every single like and watch I have! (out of fear of spooking people out!)
That’s why I decided to resume my Renamon model project. As I mentioned long time ago I’m deeply thankful to Fever-Dreamer (no idea how to tag someone) for his personal notes on my Renamon model Ausf D mark VI (which lead to changes to mark VII IF I recall correctly, and even took his advice to my latest version).
So, thanks to his analysis I kept further digging in her. I posted Mark VIII and removed her. But now I decided to improve her further. Now I’m fully intending to release “Prototype 07 Ausf D Mark IX” for free. And the latest Yoga pose tests allowed me to further tweak her rig. I decided to approach a mindset of “If I find this rig/explaniation complicated then I will modify it to make it simple to everyone” or rather stick to the “KISS” principle!
In each yoga position I had to tweak some small things here and there on her rig. Add some controllers, etc. It’s a nice stress test.
Up to this point my main motivation it’s sunk cost fallacy, but yeah, I just want to release her and hope that people might use her. I recognize that warfaremachine’s Renamon’s models are the main standard, and that Kekitopu, A Large Wooden Badger, Tenzide and DogZeela are more advanced but what the heck! Perhaps they are prettier but I really enjoy rigging and I want to make the most advanced Renamon rigged model! Hehe
Well, This post can be chaotic. But I really struggled to write this and despite my best efforts it’s either this or nothing. Thank you a lot for reading this journal!

So I tried IA and found out it isn’t for me. Here is wh...
Posted 2 years agoSo I tried IA and found out it isn’t for me. I really want to bring life to my characters and for what I could gather, it's not possible with IA.
In a previous journal (that I erased for being embarrassed, you know, people who didn’t liked I ever mention IA art) I mentioned I wanted to quit doing 3d to move to IA art since one can do art at a much faster pace.
So, I tried it. Used stable diffusion and even trained some with Dreambooth. I couldn’t quite master it but the more I used it the more I keep having a weird feeling.
Sure, one can create beautiful art with it in only a fraction of time of what it’s required to do the same in “traditional” art. And setting the whole ethical things aside I keep having a feeling that it’s just… isn’t the same. I mean, almost nobody out there really cares about how much effort an artist spend in drawing something or how many hours someone spend creating a 3d character.
But for me, when I managed to create a nice piece of art I wanted to do something else than just post a still image of a character or a setting. I wanted to do something else with these images.
For what I could see in Deviantart IA can create stunning cool characters (seems NovelAI it’s more suited for that) but then I keep thinking “hey, this character it’s cool, what might be his/her/hir story? What about it’s personality? How it would talk?”
I guess I really want to bring life to these characters, and despite how cool IA art might seem, it’s not possible to do it (At least at the moment?).
Now, I know 3d/digital art it’s closely related to IA art. But I really believe that when I work in these 3d models (mainly Renamon and Mirra Kerzdath) I feel that by working on them I do more than just move pixels around. Sometimes I feel that I’m really “inyect” my energy on them in every step. When I create them from just a sphere, or prepare the UV layout, texturize, do rigging. It’s like taking care of a creature and watching it grow and get stronger.
Kinda like when I do maintenance on my pcs (I should write about that) I feel like at some degree the care I give to them somehow it’s “felt”… Despite being just machines.
And with the AI art that is just not possible… At least for me.
I still believe AI it’s a cool tool. Heck, I used IA back in 2019 / 2020, waaay before AI art was possible (for instance the G’kar bronze bust animation I created https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMnqu7S9hHg used IA in After effects, the “content aware fill” Even I can’t really tell the exact places where I used that option!)
Also the Renamon porcelain doll animation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm3AnacHqL8) had IA in every single frame (rendered in Blender with Radeon pro render, with IA noise filtering)
So, I prefer to stick with 3d art, and try to bring these characters to life. That’s why I’m rebuilding my OC character Mirra Kerzdath using everything I learned from building my Renamon model. At some point I really wish to make her feel like she is real!

Furaffinity had a forum?!
Posted 3 years agoI read the news about FA forum closure and I thought "The heck?? All these years and I didn't realized there was a forum??" it wasn't until then that I look for it and there it was. I would have posted a few things there if I would have knew.
Prototype 07 Ausf D Mark VIII
Posted 3 years agoI worked further on my Renamon model, and created Mark VIII which involves:
- Fixed skin weights under the armpits, specially when she raises her arms
- Add limiters for arms (both for IK and manual)
- More importantly, added lots of blendshapes so she can finally talk! lots of phonems, an easy to animate system based in what I showed under "Da voice box for my Renamon model" which you can find in my scraps. I even made it in such a way that you can take the voice file and "bake" it into the model, which can either whisper or shout (based on the imput voice volume). Which was shown in the animation I did.
Still currently working in the following things:
- Fix her hips when she fully spreads her legs. I have seen lots of 3d models which fails on this. And I REALLY want to make the difference.
Still working on fixing the direction of her elbows and knees. I Think I used the IK model since Ausf B, and I find it quite annoying to fine tune some positions. I haven't been able to find any similar models which had the same problems so I still need to figure out an easier method to do it (I'm thinking in doing a double IK system, one for the shoulder-elbow and another for the elbow-wrist instead a single IK with a direction).

Where to put my efforts on my Renamon model?
Posted 3 years agoSo, I possible have the most advanced Renamon model for animation, which can do all sort of expressions and even talk... But I'm stuck about WHAT to do with her.
I'm a 3d generalist, however I have most of the fun in texturizing and rigging. I like to build things, but I'm not used to actually use what I built beyound tests to make sure it works fine.
But still... I worked on this model for almost two years... And "Sunk cost fallacy" really drives the whole proyect forwards...
I think that "Ausf D" model (animation for eevee) it's pretty much finished. Can't think in anything else to add, so Mark VIII will be final
Probably I could try porting this to "Ausf C" model Mark III (PC vr chat model). Problem is that I already tried VRchat and... I'm not sure what to do there. I'm an extremly "komi-san" like person. I mean, I CAN write... But talking is another whole subject.
Also I'm thinking in moving to "Ausf E" model which involves adding full hair to her whole body. Last time I tried that I ended with a model which took 30 mins to make a render. However Blender 3.3 really improved ALOT in the hair system. The main problem about the new hair is that IT DOESN'T SUPPORTS OVERLAPPING UV MAPS. Which this model has (mirrored uvs). I do have some ideas about how to "unmirror" them or overcome that limitation.
Perhaps also derive it into "Ausf F" Mark II (NSFW model, with big round breasts), I already have "Mark I" since a long time ago but since this one it's way more advanced.
However I have no idea where to put my time and effort. I really want to do something that it's enjoyable.

Nice art raffle! Check it out!
Posted 3 years agoThis great artist has a raffle!
Posted 3 years agoWorking in releasing Renamon Ausf D - Mark I
Posted 3 years agoI decided I will release that model for free. I need to tweak some stuff on the rig to make it easy to work with. It should be easy to understand what does what. Also adding more limits on the rig movements to make it easier to work with (and harder to pose her in an impossible position)
Releasing my Renamon models?
Posted 3 years agoI already released my Renamon (AKA prototype 07) Ausf B model for free, however it had little to no sucess. I just took another look at her and yeah, it's an old model.
I already released the Ausf F model (AKA Busty Rena) too. But I just pull it off.
Anyhow, Ausf C model it's for VR chat for oculus (Excelent Performance rating for VR) and Ausf D it's for the PC version of VRchat (again, Excelent performance) altought so far nobody notices her as well. Quite often I wonder if anyone cares about Performance rating at all (90% of the models there are just "Very poor")
Sometimes I wonder about releasing the latest one I used, Ausf D Mark V. However I worked so much on her that I just want to keep her (and her style) for myself.
So, sometimes I wonder about releasing model C and D (Mark I).

Free art raffle for n0b0dy
Posted 4 years agohttps://www.furaffinity.net/view/44647173/
I Iike to enter into raffles, So far I won two and I'm eternally grateful for those artists.
n0b0dy it's making an art raffle and doing this journal it's one of the requeriments for getting an extra number. However I want to say that I only enter raffles where I enjoy the art of whoever makes the raffle. So far I'm flat broke, I have no money whatsoever to give to others.
But nevertheless. One of the requeriments it's to enter a journal. And I must say I really like this artist's style. I want to help him in the very best I can...
The only way I can support those I enjoy it's to support their art in the only way I can; by doing this kind of personalized ad!!
Support this cool person by joining his raffle and spread the word!!
I Iike to enter into raffles, So far I won two and I'm eternally grateful for those artists.

A weird idea: Rebuild Krotsgier
Posted 4 years agoProbably very few people nowadays remembers Krotsgier from CircleA61 https://www.furaffinity.net/view/208273/
Basically, she was a Tulpa entity (an entity which was created by him, or perhaps by someone else? I'm not sure, CircleA61's notes are quite chaotic) which started as an experiment, and for what I can understand gained sentience when she kept feeding from people's energy.
I can't quite understand what came first, if the tulpa or the 3d model. However CircleA61 created a really cool character in 3d. She was nice, interesting, and above all, inspiring. I can say that Krotsgier it's what really maked me be interested in the 3d world.
Apparently she could manifest in dreams, there are several reports from different peoples about seeing her in dreams and even briefly in real life. But really weird things happened.
For what I can gather, Krotsgier managed to gather so much energy that she managed to "create" two offspring; Gekvige and Corro.
Krotsgier feed from energies of lust and fear. And when she created (or split?) in two more entities these were more extremes of her.
Gekvige (which I find quite fascinating, but ultimately I really wouldn't like to be involved with her) it's a dark dragoness which enjoy the most extreme form of death and suffering and feeds from it.
And Corro, which it's much more playful, childish, and somewhat spoiled (and which can be quite dangerous as well)
But ultimately something really weird and bizarre happened to CircleA61. Something happened that maked him want to halt down everyhing with these three (or perhaps four entities, as there was a fourth one, Orlinanth) and from then things went downhill... Ultimately leading to CircleA61's demise (For what I could gather, there were alot of discussion about it, someones claim that he was living in a mental hospital, and others claim that he just died. NO IDEA what happened to him)
There is nothing I can do for his soul. But what about Krotsgier? I really wonder what happened to that Tulpa which inspired me.
My belief it's that she (and the three other entities) just died with him, however I really wonder... What if I rebuild her?
I know I'm quite a lousy 3d artist, but I believe that I could rebuild her using said "character sheet". And futhermore, do some integrations into the real world...
And mind you... Perhaps integrating her into VR chat. After all, I just read some posts about people having quite lucid dreams after using VR googles.
From time to time I really wonder about the whole thing. Rebuilding her from the "death", releasing her into the VR world and giving her another chance to feed on people's energies at her own will.
Yeah, it's quite a weird idea, but that idea cames to me from time to time. And I really wonder about it.
Whats keeping me from doing it? Well, thee things:
First lack of motivation (so far everything I did was quite lackluster, just a few likes and nothing more.
Second: lack of incomne. Mind you, I'm flat broke. And everything I'm trying to do and learn it's for have any incomne at all. Heck, one of my two ancient computers died and I can't replace it
Third: I really don't want to mess with a Tulpa entity, which I really suspect that they killed they creator for trying to terminate them? I believe that I can withstand them (and heck, I even have Mirra Kerzdath, and Lira Kerzdath (Aka Prototype 06) to backup me, plus myself) but still, even if I believe that I can deal with these entities... I am very careful about these stuff.
But well, it's just a weird idea that cames to my mind, and I wanted to share it with the world. Perhaps with some motivation (either monetary, or in form of "miracles") I might do it. I would make sure that these are creations of CircleA61... Even taking in consideration that he apparently died in 2008 - 2009 or so.

Posted 4 years agoRIP EAS Nimrod
https://ibb.co/9qw25P4
Phenom II – X555 (Was sold as dual core. Actually has four cores, but the fourth one on this one it’s faulty, so I can use 3 cores) with a Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Rev 3.0 (I brought both 10 years ago or so) – 12 gb of ram and a Radeon RX 580 8 gb
It stopped answering, when I tried to turn it off wouldn’t even if I kept pressing the power button. Had to completely cut the power, funny thing, this already happened one and half months ago, I unplugged stuff, jiggled around, and started working again. However I really didn’t liked the idea it would fix itself, I really wanted to know what was going on. But whatever.
This time, I unplugged everything, and went deeper until I removed the power supply and found this.
Probably that’s the toll that the mobo and wires took for overclocking it (from 3,2 to 4,1 ghz) and overvolting it (+ 0.4V) and running it daily (and sometimes for several days without turning it off) for 6 years.
Fortunately the hard disks (and the valuable data, models and all stuff) are intact. From time to time I make offline backups but still…
I used this computer mainly for rendering (GPU rendering of course), centralizing data and files, and watch movies on the tv. Also I occasionally I ran programs in parallel (say, blender on one pc, substance painter on this one, mainly to balance ram memory)
Sniff, I really appreciated her.
Thinking about it, perhaps this problem might have started as long as 6 months ago or so, however the whole thing didn’t burned because the cage had a ton of refrigeration, I even had a small fan aiming straight to the VRMs, probably that’s why it lasted so long and didn’t fail right away.
I still have my other computer (ARA Esteban Echeverría – Xeon x5450 – 4 cores – 3,4 ghz overclock – 8 gb ddr 2 ram) and still can do stuff, but it will be harder now.
I’m planning in revive her despite knowing very little of electronics and how to do soldering. Also the power supply took a hit on its wires. (That one ALSO has 10 years of service, but it’s a quite good one and also has 700W, so it’s worth rescuing)

Prototype 08 - Krystal model
Posted 5 years agoYeah, I'm building a new model, a Krystal fox.
I get the suggestion throught twitter, I was torn between doing a Krystal fox or an Usaki chan model.
I really didn't thought in doing a Krystal model since it seems there are dozens out there, even more, someone very famous already did her and even updated her. sometimes I say to myself "Why I should bother??" I dunno... But despite the fact I'm just a novice 3d artist sometimes I feel I could something better than what's out there.

My two VERY old pcs.
Posted 5 years agoMy computers:
I would like to write something extra about me (more than what I wroted so far in different posts) And specially why it takes me so much time to do anything.
Well, as I mentioned, I’m a 3d generalist. And all you already meet my main character, Mirra Kerzdath.
I tried to create some animations, but so far, I can’t really do much about it because I own two very old computers:
– EAS Nimrod
Procesor: Phenom II X3 – (Actually a Phenom II X555 with 2 cores at 3,1 ghz, I can unlock 2 extras, so this processor actually has 4 cores, but the fourth one it’s faulty, so I can use 3 cores, overclocked to 4,05 ghz) Socket AM3
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA 870A-UD3 rev 3.0 (When I brought this back in 2011 I did A LOT of research, unfortunately not enough. I should have went for the rev 3.1 which had AM3+ slot and support for 32gb of ram. This one in *theory* has support for only 16 gb of ram, despite running it with 18 gb. But also, AM3+ processors would have allowed me to use processors with SSE 4.1 instructions, which, my Phenom II X3 lacks, which means I can’t use Arnold renderer for 3ds max. For my classes I had to use a software emulator for SSE 4.1 and 4.2 instructions which maked everything 7 times slower (yeah, I benchmarked it).
Memory: 18 gb of ram ddr3 at 1200 ghz (2 x 4 gb G.skill in one channel, and a “highly chinese” YRUIS 8 gb paired with a Kingston hyperX 2gb on the second channel… The YRUIS memory, despite being rated at 1600 crashes the entire system unless I lower the speed at 1280 or so, quite shitty memory, but it’s a tradeoff)
Storage:
– SSD Kingston A400 120 gb. Yeah, the chapest one. I used to run TWO of these on raid 0, but one of them died for no reason at all. Later I understood that it was quite poinless to run cheap ssds on raid 0
– Western digital green 1 tb (model from 2011) quite shitty hdd. In speed benchmarks can barely reach 70 mb/s in read and write.
– Barracuda 1 tb (ST1000DM010) quite good hdd, I got it second hand, around 170 mb/s of write and read
Video card: Radeon RX 580 – 8 gb Yeah, a good video card with plenty of ram! Thanks to it I can use several programs and even do GPU render based stuff (like Cycles or radeon pro render) This is the base of most of my art!! Also currently this video card costs more than both of my computers combined!!
I use this computer for rendering and texturing. Also for animation.
And then there is my second computer;
ARA Esteban Echeverría
Processor: Xeon X5450 – 4 cores (3 ghz original, overclocked to 3,4 ghz) Socket 775 (I brought it with the mod 771 to 775 already on, for only 20€)
Motherboard: Gigabyte DDR2 (actually brought it for 5€ because it’s previous owner thought it didn’t work), 8 GB of ram 800 mhz, (part of it salvaged from trash, along with the cage)
Storage: 240 gb SSD (don’t remember brand right now, but it’s a good one) along with a 250 gb and a 500 gb hdd (both salvaged from trash)
Video card: Ati Radeon HD 6790 1 gb
I use this one mainly for modelling, doing captures with a Kinect 360, and well, playing games. Technically it’s my main computer, since the other one it’s setup up in a way I can leave it all night.
But yeah, this Xeon it’s from 2009, while the Phenom II it’s from 2011. With the time I have been upgrading them little by little (the main change was the radeon RX 580) with the few money I had.

Yay!! Fa it's back!! (and others thoughts)
Posted 5 years agoThe last two days were quite sad, seeing how this site was down because some idiot (or idiots) decided to do a DDOS for no reason at all. I mean, I can't imagine any reason of why someone wants to take down this site... Or well, actually yes, I can imagine some. Like, someone having a grudge against dragoneer, or some puritan thinking this is a site full of depravation... or someone who just hates furries.
I know that I have few interactions here (well, actually anywhere, either online or offline) but still. I enjoy this site. Giving some faves, saying "great work/amazing drawing!!" even if sounds like a bot it's talking. But yeah, I can't think of anything else.
Someones would critique other's works. I wouldn't do that unless I'm asked my personal opinion. Mainly because I just accept what the other (the artist) gives. There are some artwork out there that I don't like, but in that case I just ignore it and go on the next stuff.
Perhaps I'm just weird. But thats what I do.
Anyways, thanks to the FA staff to bring this site online again!!

Some thoughts...
Posted 6 years agoin the past two months I have been trying this whole thing of the social networks. I have been doing favs, complimented other's artists images (which I did it from the bottom of my heart btw) and all that kind of stuff, and despite doing this in deviant art, furaffinity and twitter, well, I don't get followers or likes.
I know that followers and likes isn't everything, but, I guess it's a good way to know if what one does it's a good thing, or what one does likes somebody. I kinda wonder if I fail at something or just... what I do doesn't likes anyone else.

24/03/2019 - Working in...
Posted 6 years agoEng: So far I'm learning some of Matcap (create and manipulate landscapes). Also I'm learning how to create muscles for Mirra (and in general, any character). I'm not referring to just modelling them, but rather simulate their movements.
Also, I'm thinking in learning how to use and create stuff for source film maker since it's a program so popular in the comunity... I could create and sell characters there.
Spa: Hasta ahora estoy aprendiendo algo de matcap (crear y manipular paisajes). También estoy aprendiendo a crear músculos para Mirra (y en general, para cualquier otro personaje). No me refiero a solo modelarlos, sinó simular sus movimientos.
También estoy pensando en usar y crear cosas para el Source Film Maker, debido a que es un programa tan popular en la comunidad... Podría crear y vender personajes ahí.

Should I write something here?
Posted 6 years agoEng: I kinda wonder if I should write stuff here about the kind of things I do. Usually I wouldn't because I consider I don't have anything interesting or useful to say. I'm the kind of person that in a party would quietly sit on a corner, drinking... If I would ever go to a party.
Spa: Medio me pregunto si debería de escribir algo sobre el tipo de cosas que hago. Usualmente no lo hago porque considero que no tengo nada interesante o útil qué decir. Soy el tipo de persona que durante una fiesta se sentaría en una esquina bebiendo... Si alguna vez fuese a una fiesta.
