Was hoping I'd be 100% complete with the retopo, but there's still a few small bits to complete. Bake coming next week. I haven't made lowpolys of the swamp abyssals yet, so that might come after, or I'll start work on the arboreal vampires. Total tris coming in at 83,353. Have a great week!
i've learned from working on Exanima that it could be an absolute nightmare if character customization, particularly armour layering, isn't properly planned out before making a bunch of assets for. I definitely won't be doing armour layering that's for sure, we'll just replace body parts with different pieces of…
As this is the last Thursday of the year, here is this week's update as well as the annual summary of 2025 for Project Nova. For this week I continued work on the male swamp abyssal. Project Nova Annual Summary, 3rd year of Development Jan- Feb: Changed the infested race to a more bestial infested race code named 'Blood…
Female version in an okay spot. I'm thinking I should bump every race up one subdiv level, running out of mesh density in some areas, but I use that as a sign that I may be too detail intensive. Will probably lower the amount of granular detail across the board sometime in the future. Painting will definitely help visually…
Done with the lowpoly, coming in at 100,676 tris. A bit high, but I think the geometry is necessary for this level of detail. I want to revisit the other races to ensure they have a similar level of detail in the lowpoly. Unwrap & bake coming up next. Have a great week!
I've decided Project Nova will not have a first person mode, and will only be 3rd person. With this change comes the removal of modular fingernails and teeth, however I think this is fine since the fingernail idea came from Cyberpunk, which is a first person game that has you staring at V's hands throughout the game, and…
I feel like a bit of a spammer for posting with seemingly so little progress, but the last 10% of sculpting is always like this, and is important to get right. Male version coming up soonish I think. Have a great week!
Done for now, retopology underway & female version up next. Removed veins, too much work, especially if I want to create other infested things (which I will) and I can probably get some sort of procedural geometry node wizardry to work instead. Have a great week!
just going to say on most recent update, i enjoyed the separation of the plates the ("flesh color"). but carry on i come on to see who posted updates sometimes.
I've migrated my master document from Google Docs to Obsidian. Documents alone wont cover what I need, which is a wiki. MediaWiki, my favourite wiki format that powers Elderscroll's UESP and PoE's wiki (and Wikipedia, of course!) is too technical for me at this point in time. I'll learn it when I'm ready. Here is what my…
