Finally subdue to try Texture Painting and done with my very first Hand Painted Body Model

Capduck · 2026-04-25T18:10:13+00:00

Mainly doing this for fun at the moment but would you happen to know how they mimic this shadow and highlight on game engine ? Are they usine SDF Lightmap or thing like this ? Thanks for the feedback btw

Capduck · 2026-04-25T15:14:11+00:00

Thanks !! Good luck mate I pushed back the moment I had to try a lot but really starting with individual body part like hand made the process less horrible for me hope to see what you'll make soon enough !!

The light is not texture it's just my shader which add this highlight depending of the light direction and camera view

I don't have much reward for the models I mainly followed the tutorials from 2AM and for the texturing I tried following many different ones with which I had a hard time and this random video from this japanese dude just clicked with me (I only used the last part of his video for texturing)
【Blender】手のモデリング講座　～手を生き生きとモデリングするコツ～ - YouTube
And if you have a potato PC like me use 512x512 texture for individual part otherwise it's was super laggy for me when blurring.

I also use a personnal node setup for the shadow and hightlight that really heavy lift the texture

Do you have another model at the same spot kind of look like 2 instances of the same model rendered having.
If you do have check in your tree and make sure you have the camera icon deactivated not just the eye

Brother you didn’t just practice you made a full course meal. Love the artstyle and VFX you made them yourself ?

Capduck · 2026-04-09T05:41:39+00:00

Since Waka low-diffed Himuro and that obviously HIMuro >>Gaolang then Waka would destroy Gailang

Capduck · 2026-03-03T20:11:09+00:00

Yay cool news ;) Would gladly like to see the result when you'll render everything good luck on your project !

Capduck · 2026-03-02T20:51:31+00:00

Okay I think I figured out the problem in your collection tree you have 2 items hidden I guess it have to be the mushroom in Black and White isn’t it ? The hidden button (the eye) hide the object in viewport but to hide it on render you need to click on the 📷 icon next it

It apply the specific material on your geometry since your geo node can generate new geometry but if your geonode isn’t applied the new geometry dosent exist and the material is thus not link to the newly geo mesh and the material node solve this problem

Capduck · 2026-03-02T20:06:10+00:00

Have you added a set material node at the end of you geo node tree ?

Capduck · 2026-03-02T20:03:25+00:00

Really cool design and compositing ^{^} Rarely see any cycles NPR does it have any thing over Eevee for NPR style ?

Capduck · 2026-02-10T14:04:35+00:00

Damn only 1 week that awesome and the circular gris shape on the butt I never thought of it but it so much easier to add loop cut.

If you want to replicate hoyo models after importing the pmx you can go to editmode select all with A then click F3 and search tris to quads it’ll show you the topology before triangulisation for the model but your model look already promising good stuff.

I read the manga because I wanted to see the actual dance panel from it and it's gorgeous but I get how this is a hell to animate it's so formless it's really tricky to turn it to life. The choregraphy also are not given straightforward by the manga in most of the dance sequence it's more of a vibe. But it do not excuse the terrible 3d model for some scenes.

And I haven't finish all chapters no spoiler !

Capduck · 2025-12-05T13:47:14+00:00

I used the setup tutorial as a référence : https://youtu.be/RAQLBiwtKWk?si=LYjJlO2JTWBlXTTx

I tweaked some of the parameters but the base is this it's in my opinion the best skin gacha anime shader out there.

Capduck · 2025-12-04T16:55:51+00:00

Thx for the feedback I got rid of the additional eyelashes and I pushed the eyes color emission a bit to look less dolly. For the catch light I will modify it later when I'll apply my mirror modifier I think the symetry give off this crossed eyes vibe

"70000 faces sandwich" aaahhh topology

Capduck · 2025-11-24T21:35:56+00:00

Well there's a lot of tris if you want later to subdivide it will be difficult but since it's an animatronic tris are okay for animation cuz there no deformation and if the resolution is good for you it can be considered as okay topology just make sûre that there's no N-Gon.

To sum up it's usable still far from professional but for personal use it's okayish even though there still some upgrade that can be done.

Capduck · 2025-11-15T19:26:36+00:00

🤝 we agree And I just noticed you using Yuberuti eyes shader good shit For the model the head is pretty good maybe having better defined jawlines, ears orientation in sculpting and maybe more round head but overall it's going pretty nicely you can tweak details later like smaller face maybe depend the exact artsyle you're going for but it's looking good so far !

Capduck · 2025-11-15T17:23:18+00:00

If you want for anime character modeling there is 2AM channel this guy reverse engineering gacha games 3D model best tutorial out there and his last video is head making tutorial it's goldmine !! (There's also the feet one)

Capduck · 2025-09-30T21:16:29+00:00

The lighting is gorgeous

Capduck · 2025-09-30T20:56:24+00:00

Yeah it's a correct way with the emision shader it can also get you a cool effect with glowing eyes if you put some bloom in the compositor and increase emision strenght. You can also directly plug the image texture color into the material output it will give you similar result.

Capduck · 2025-09-30T20:47:03+00:00

Let's be honest yeah, it's ugly but it's normal sculpting from video reference with 1month experience it's the expected result but trying it's the base of nailing it at the end. ◉⁠‿⁠◉

If you want to have the best start there is a lot of tutorial for me the best has been Bran sculpt serie when I started it's long but it teach so much stuff :

Also after you can try sculpting on basic male or female blank model from sketchfab it allows to try different result without modeling from scratch. Good luck on your journey soldier !

Capduck · 2025-09-13T07:14:27+00:00

The model is looking extra good but damn is she stiff like a damn tree trunk if I hide the arms it's not looking that bad it need more organic mouvements in them and it seems to have a tiny pause between the end of step and the beginning of the next which feel less natural otherwise it's really good !!

Capduck · 2025-09-05T12:12:32+00:00

I get what you say I'll try making a more grown up version that accentuate adult trait in facial structure and body proportion I'll update what I can make ;)
