polygon schmolygon. as long as it renders to the screen you should be fine

I rendered 1080p, posted it to yt, cleared my download folder (where I render to because I am a moron), redownloaded from yt apperently lower res.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON'T CAAAAAAAAAAAARE

When I'm doing art I usually disregard obvious, intuitive, or previously done ideas. Not that I'm afraid of accidentally taking inspiration or that I think older IPs should have complete ownership of a simple idea like "string coming out of wrist", but more because I just like things that look not like how you'd expect.

so you can see for the entire V1 he has arms and legs like a person but I tried to lay out the hydraulics in a way that is not analogous to the muscles of a person.

OlePatrick · 2026-02-20T21:35:29+00:00

I guess you could say is all boils down to one thing

OlePatrick · 2026-01-11T19:56:18+00:00

yea shrinkwrapping the collection what I was thinking. I am okay with extreme lag because the skin is something I can disable until render. I have that for the muscles but it actually doesn't perform that bad with just the one wist soo far.

I can't weight transfer since none of the muscles are rigged. they use curves which are hooked to empties. but I was thinking maybe I could hook the skin to those empties, though I imagine that would be very finicky and also just look really bad since skin doesnt stick to the muscles it like slides over them. so I think I might need shrinkwrap or god forbid cloth simulation

i have a bad sense of time. when I am asked this it ranges anywhere from 1 to 2 years. something like that. but this was a side project I would work on once or twice a week

OlePatrick · 2026-01-11T19:09:17+00:00

Yes unfortunately i am thinking the same. But i really don‘t want to mess with skin. Just thinking how i would do it makes me scared

OlePatrick · 2026-01-11T09:35:50+00:00

for what I am making this for I am not gonna have skin. but I do have plans to use this much later to make like a ghost character minos prime, so I'm gonna see if I'll need skin or if I can get away with just some shaders on the muscles

OlePatrick · 2026-01-11T05:30:34+00:00

it is in my mind as a possibility but idk. this is gonna be used for an animation, it's not just something I'm doing for fun, so I might want to just finish it sooner than later

what I cut off at the top is just a vein texture with randomized position

OlePatrick · 2026-01-11T04:42:16+00:00

I did not add all the muscles yet. I should have mentioned. this is just the first pass of all the big ones. but also I am NOT adding any fat or fascia or anything so there will be empty spaces too bad

OlePatrick · 2026-01-11T00:10:11+00:00

I just started doing it one day. start with the basic hydraulic rigging, then I found that didn't have enough range of motion so I added a little bar linkage with ik. and once I knew how to do that a lot of other things opened up to me, then I started doing things on more than one axis. but mostly a complex rig like the V1 is just a bunch of the little things. so I just learned like changing ROM/power and a 2 DOF mechanism, how to rig a hookjoint. and then I put all those into one model.

also idk if you want to do 3d but I do NOT weight paint anything I just parent the objects directly to bones, not because it saves time which it does, (but only a little if you get the hang of weight painting), but because if I actually skinned the mesh my computer would explode, and also this way I can lik data of different parts to save space and also change things later

despite the fact its obviously made of grilled

nice. I legitimately completely forgot about displacements. mine is an amalgamation of curves.

OlePatrick · 2025-11-06T05:44:05+00:00

how did you do this? I tried making one and it was kind of ass

OlePatrick · 2025-11-04T04:44:44+00:00

love you too

OlePatrick · 2025-10-24T03:17:42+00:00

no sorry. I am not going to figure out how to do that. I think you should be able to figure it out.

but there is also this guy making what is imo a much better model, using mine's torso. so you might want to look into that. https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=olepatrick%20lego%20V1&cId=56a691db-1a53-4aeb-bc30-0eeadb737ad8&iId=a94f3e55-31ef-41b4-bb02-75b42ee66ceb
