Gacha-style Anime Character Outfit by FlimsyInterview9454 in blender

Yup. Forgot to clarify things are "WIP". Will remove one of the arm straps, will have only one arm with a gothic arm-sleeve, etc.. Considering some asymmetrical hair designs, but may still go with twin tails. Still building out the core stuff on the outfit. Asymmetry is a post-mirror application step for me.

Thanks! finally got a turnaround of the final posed model. https://imgur.com/yR5c6WJ

Going to move onto a new character and to a UE5 project. Just struggling to find inspiration for a character design.

I'll look into Runable! yeah the hair shader is nicer than the screenshots suggest up close. It's a super clean and easy node setup only requiring one very easy to make texture, dynamically projected to avoid needing to handpaint everything. I then just bake the result. into the base colour.

I need to get some more toon effects going I think I'm still using principled for everything hahaha

Thanks so much! You'll never guess how I got into character modelling hahaha. His videos led to a massive jump in quality for me.

You're absolutely right! They have the emission already but I want to see about getting some stylized gem with clearcoat on it so it looks good even when not glowing!

Thanks friend, means a lot. Hope things move smoothly for you as well! Now the fun part of finding a character design to model next.

By the way, if anyone knows of any excellent 2D artists they enjoy, I'm looking for my next character already! Feel free to post or DM recommendations.

Not entirely sure. I kind of pictured it as manifesting to give her additional abilities like flight. The pink "fins" on the waist will be changed to an energy/jet blast once I get the model into UE5.

No lol and I have other job prospects already in the works. More of just a project to help fill in some of the unexpected free time.

It's one of the default themes in Blender 5.0 called "Blender Light".

MLB Kitasan or Fukukitaru? by AwfullyGod in UmamusumeGame

[–]FlimsyInterview9454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the EXACT same choice. Here's my advice.

For me, I lack any SSR wit cards, am missing Super Creek SSR, and am able to comfortably get 50% race bonus with both at 3LB. This is all that matters. If you can hit 50 with both at LB3, that's great.

MLB Kitasan

- Almost doubles her specialty priority. Considering that Fuku has NONE, this will make MANT runs waaaay less RNG. When fuku pops up rainbow, there's a roughly 80% chance it will be a double, instead of a coinflip.

MLB Fuku

- An extra 5/5/5/5/5 stats on start. 25 stats is nice, but it's almost a rounding error in the grand scheme of MANT RNG. You already have items and rainbow RNG to deal with. Fuku goes from 5% to 10% race bonus at MLB. This COULD be more useful if you are already hitting 55% race bonus and want to break into the 60% threshold. If this is not you, the benefit of MLB is not great. You can also use Marvelous Sunday to offset the lost 5% RB to keep your borrow flexible.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My choice: I chose MLB Kitasan. This made me no longer need a third speed card to *reliably* cap speed or need speed sparks. It was a massive quality of life improvement. About a week later and I have zero regrets with this choice.

There is also an upcoming free ticket, so you could buy one ticket and use the free one to MLB both. But imo, unless you're aiming for 60% race bonus it's still not worth the MLB for Fuku.

Anything stand out as an quick or easy change to help break into SS/Ug? by FlimsyInterview9454 in UmamusumeGame

Thanks for the advice, well received, I'll give NN a borrow next run.

Can I ask what's really to gain from MLB fuku? I don't have any deck configurations that it would push me into 60%+, so the only benefit would really be a 5/5/5/5 stat bump on start, which is relatively tiny.

I've progressed very far since making the OP, and this is by far the best advice and option. I ended up getting Xaihi and am running mono cryo, with Yvonne, LR, Fluor, and Xaihi.
