Hello! Doing well? Bodhum Bar mommy is here to take care of your thirst.

PIXIV

(P3DX is still down)

Apparently she is considered the mommy of the group according to the wiki. seems 13 has a lot of "mommy" trope characters.  Even lightning is kind of mommy like. in Dissidia, she babysit Squall like she can't leave a kid alone. In LR, she knock some sense to Snow and act like a big sis. There is also Lightning and Hope combination. 

I crashed a lot rendering all 3 of her animations every 10 - 30 frames. after some troubleshooting, I managed to reduce the amount of crashes just by merging her body vertices distance. idk how or why that works. the memory usage is not even as heavy as when I animate Stranger of Paradise characters. 

=========================================================

..And speaking of mommy, This week I rigged Nora Estheim from 13.

I don't know how I'd animate her. Knowing me, I'd probably go a little bit dark like I did to Ifalna or Ameliance instead of wholesome. but we'll see.

Now before anyone asks, I won't do anything to Hope. I could make him watch as we pound his mom though. ...that is unless I decided that I go with the Wholesome route.

I also remake Venat and Ameliance rig. I made their proportion a bit more human like. I think it won't be too noticeable once I animated them. And their shoulder is still broad similar to Elezen features.

Here some comparison between their old and new body. they both use the same body.

Most problematic proportions have been fixed. I could try to fix their old bodies by adding some corrective shapekeys, but it's way too low poly for my taste and it could create more UV problems subdividing it. so I just replace them with a new body instead.

I'll use this base body model for all NPCs using Elezen body type in the future (Elezen,Vierra,Garlean,Ancients). Some might prefer the old body type, but they create more problems in some difficult poses, so I'll stick with this one.

=========================================================

You know the drill for this one. As usual. if you are on Fanbox. I'll direct you to my other blog to "read" her article. And the week after Namine is a weird date. I'll try to think of something to fill. 

That's all!
Thank you for you kind support and donation as always m(_ _)m
Take care!
