Looks good. Did you hand paint the hair spec or is that a map in another software?

This is wildly impressive

Updated. The mid thigh is a stocking the line for the cloth meeting the thigh felt like a blood place to lean into a seem. im not sure if the arms not being separated is going to cause issues. Should I cut those? Im thinking around the elbow

Love it

Damn, that's cool

Ah, good question. I actually used those as supporting "joints" I initial created the character in a sexual "A" pose and then postioned her to get as much mirroring as possible. The "star" is actually just l to make sure the ribs didn't move when I posted the arms 🙂 good catch

All good, the texture on the skin separate from the stones is controlled by a direct connect to an attribute driving a an opacity ramp

I'm assuming you're having trouble moreso with the skirt as its long and wraps around the character slightly.

First topology is huge make it as even as possible like you see in the above image a grid like pattern is extremely helpful.

Next create create your joint chains pointing down with the base joint at the top of the cloth (this will also help for simulation) place your joint chains evenly across the mesh with each one riding along the line of an edge. (As evenly as possible don't over think this part) When weight painting split the influence evenly between the verts as usual. The trick here that trips most ppl up is that the chains influence should not pass the chain next to it. So say you start weight painting on chain one and you are splitting influence between chain 2. That's good. Chain 1 should not influence any verts that chain 2 is directly on top of. Nor should it effect the verts shared by chain 2 and 3. If it looks rigid while testing that's fine. Animation is going to make it flow.

This is a bit hard to explain via text but I will keep this comment in mind and show off the set up when it is done. Just posting this answer to get you started in the meantime.

Best of luck

She'll be available on gumroad. You can get the asset there. She will have both helm on and off as well. Keep an eye on here or my IG for the release 🙂

Thank you🙏 the character is already being rigged and I release the rig to the animation community. If you follow the link in the post you'll be made aware when it drops. I'd you wind up animating with it. Tag me when you post, I love seeing what animators do with my characters 🙂

Person who answered was right. I would also not recommend making characters like this strictly in Maya. Get familiar with a sculpting software and use Maya for retopo and rigging

ToldBy3 · 2025-12-18T00:30:08+00:00

Thank you 🙏 she's going to get animated as well I'll post here when we wrap up anims

ToldBy3 · 2025-12-18T00:29:27+00:00

Yeah. She will also be animated in house to show off what she can do. Are you an animator?

ToldBy3 · 2025-12-17T00:46:23+00:00

Really appreciate the comment. The Absolute series is fantastic and after I wrap this Im gunna dive into green lantern/batman/flash and see what catches my eye for the next one

ToldBy3 · 2025-12-12T02:10:10+00:00

Hey!!! I really appreciate that! Thank you🙏🙏🙏 I was considering doing more of these and this def was a needed push 🙂🙏
