#my art on cohost

Still a lot of work to do, but I want something to be myself in VR and such with!

So I've continued working on this over the last few days!

A large number of minor tweaks and optimizations have been made, and I have learnt a lot about the quirks of my own model.

In terms of what has been done since the last time:

Reconstructed the Eyes completely
- They rotate in the socket perfectly now
Skeleton construction and optimization
- Only 74 Bones!!!
Full rigging/weight painting
- This took a really long time and isn't perfect
  - But it's good enough!
UV seam setting and unwrapping
- I've done this too many times now
- Like way too many times trying different things omg
Baked a tonne of different maps and tried different material workflows
- Got frustrated with all of them wasting about 5-8 hours of work
  - At least I learnt a lot though

So what still needs to be done?

Applying all my mirror modifiers
- There are a lot of small reasons why I need to do this, but mostly just to make texturing easier later
  - ...yes this means I'll likely have to redo my UVs again, but at least I'm fast at it now
Make all my Shapekeys
- There are a lot of these to make (full list in the image)
Texturing
- I'm going to be trying a "hand-painted" method I've researched a lot for this...
- ...but
- .
- If it doesn't work, I'm not wasting more time and I'll do my standard fallback UV Colour method I've used for previous models, even though it's less versatile
  - Just because I know that I can finish it to a degree I'd be happy with
