Also have been doing more Houdini groom learning, and working on her hair.

Re: Summer Character Workshop - The Baker

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the kind words!
@Maxilator, yes I just got a tip from Leslie on how to tackle the puffy sleeves, so I'll definitely will give them some love ^^.

In the meantime I've been working to get the sculpt ready so I can move on to UV's, bakes and textures. Hell, I might even sneak in some rigging.

Here's some progress:

I made a big change, however, all the way towards the end, and I'd like to hear your opinions about it.
I tried to follow the concept more accurately and so had to make the hair less voluminous, and her face less round (front view).

L is the old, R the new

Next I'll try to add a final polish/detail pass on a couple of things (read: everything). I've been behind the workshop a bit anyway so I'm not gonna texture until my fingers stop itching to add to the sculpt. Imo a style like this can benefit more from a killer sculpt than a killer texture, so I feel like I can spend some more time on it...

I'd love to hear what you think!

Re: UV Straightening and its perks on LOD generation

Good info! I've been doing similar straightening methods in Blender with the Zen UV addon, specifically the Reshape Island command. Using this as an example of non-quad straightening by selecting the edge or edges to maintain axis alignment and it straightens the shell while retaining volume. It can certainly do a lot of what you mentioned above, though I'd be curious to run tests with more organic shells.

@Pep_mepla Looking good Do you have any dynamic/ interactive elements planned?

Hey Fabi! Your scene is looking great, gotta say you are an inspiration each challenge. Even when I don't participate, I always check out what you make and it is amazing!

I do have planned a small animation for the dial to move when the knob is turned.

This is my lowpoly for the main part with the normals already baked. However I have a question for you guys. Do you suggest I keep the knobs and those cylinders on the top as modular pieces to save on texture space? Or should I instance them and have each one have it's own uv's, that way the AO would be baked on the top of the radio... What would be the "correct" approach?
