I'm so damn proud of this thing. It supports all light types, shadows, fog, and mirrors
interesting debug view of how many steps each pixel took. also it marches in object space so it handles non-uniform scaling
I'm ALSO working on an official final IK version of the Tridrogon by @tokyozilla.bsky.social and @manyblinkinglights.bsky.social! So far it walks and has a grounder. The back feet behave weird, but I know why and it's fixable.
Now the tail moves when the wings do. The wings clip into the body when looking down but I'll fix that
This is the first time I've ever set up a quadruped attached to the head. The others attach their chest to the human hips. It's been rough figuring out how he should move smoothly without whacking everyone around him. Today I improved his neck and spine behavior. Before and after
Before Furality, I rushed to get him usable for the convention. Now I'm working on adding all of the other features and continuously improving things. Unfortunately Kari wasn't able to get his wings done, so he grabbed some wings from the unity asset store. I added his gold wingtips and animations.
Now that it's not a surprise anymore, I have the privilege of setting up the animation system on @tauofthesun.bsky.social's new avatar! He was modeled, textured, and weight painted by @karisauria.bsky.social. (I'll share progress in this thread)
Oh btw, another benefit of doing it like this is you can use the exact same texture on mobile with standard lite :D
Put it in the same mask used for smoothness and metallic. You don't need to use poi's preset in substance. For example I just use Unity HD Metallic, the same as standard. R: Metallic G: AO B: Unused, but you can put whatever you want here for other effects A: Smoothness Poi can be setup like this
Folks really need to use ambient occlusion more. Everything looks so much better with it. (Please don't bake it into the base color. It's a separate mask that affects lighting! ❤️)
lmfao. in addition to the heatwave there may also be severe storms. good luck trying to celebrate anything
I've been using @gallevr.app a lot recently. It's super neat! You can even find photos you were a part of! gallevr.app/u/79e435e1-e...
Does anyone know how to stop index controllers from breaking the index finger whenever I touch one of the top buttons? Even brand new ones start doing it after a month. I'm so tired of RMAs and replacements. 😓
...this is one of the most cursed things I've ever done. (attempting to add support for the fluffy gryphon to vulpes tailoring tools)
