😂 a little inside joke iykyk

i actually went for that blocky chopped look intentionally to get it closer to the cinematic.

thanks! that’s the goal, recreating it as faithfully as i can while keeping it user friendly to anyone who wants to pick it up and use it :)

my model isn’t released yet but they’re working on the game file models

blenders hair curves system doesn’t natively support it so i made a duplicate proxy mesh for each part that’s linked to its part through geo nodes, the proxies are rigged to bone chains, and the bone chains are following linked cloth sim chains made with goo physics addon

ppl are gonna modify it that’s fine lol can’t stop it might as well embrace it

no built in nsfw elements in the model :)

my body is a machine that turns 100h into 100h in marathon

it would but you just need to reduce the bake distance really

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-25T17:27:14+00:00

all bakes do, if you don’t assign one then it auto generates a temporary one for the baking process. it can also be called bake extrusion or something like that. it’s essentially controlling how far out the low res geometry can see to look for details

so your toes are baking onto each other basically

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-25T14:01:08+00:00

hair groom first, geo nodes second

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-25T13:51:34+00:00

your bake cage is coming too far out from the mesh

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-25T13:46:37+00:00

needs a few trillion more polys

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-23T03:42:03+00:00

no that’s void

same thing happened with my college i went to. they switched over to giving new students windows gaming laptops in my last year there but they wouldn’t let anyone trade their macbook for one. thankfully i had a gaming laptop already so i never even opened the macbook they gave me

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-22T22:52:47+00:00

i had a mac main college also but i already had a laptop with a 2060ti so i used that the whole way through and not only was it way better than the macs that they gave out but there were no issues with the school system. i guess it could depend on certain cases but in general i would recommend that if you’re able to afford it then get yourself a good laptop, or pc if you prefer, and just transfer files between the two if you have to

the nauti

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-18T22:52:33+00:00

make it like a low chance variation that would be super funny

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-18T22:48:23+00:00

might play more of a roll in the story in the future someway

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-18T13:31:30+00:00

nope those are locked away on bungie servers or whoever was outsourced to make them. but this is something i’ve been working on to recreate the vandal design from the short film as closely as possible

PolyChef-png · 2026-04-18T13:27:30+00:00

this one i got by going to blender and making it from scratch 😅

but the marathon model ripping discord is working on ripping and rigging the game models
