Harleen x Patient WIP (Patreon)

So, I’ve got the assets for my next image set pretty much ready. This time it's Harleen Quinzel, which is Harley before she was seduced by the Joker if you didn't know. The set’s gonna involve a therapy session that will absolutely not turn sexual in any way.

Here’s how she looks.

The outfit is inspired by Harleen’s look in Arkham Origins. Most of the outfit parts are from Hitman 2 (2018), but her necklace, earrings, and stockings are custom made. The outfit was pretty difficult to make because of the layers it has, but I managed to get it to mostly work. I’ve been investigating implementing cloth physics on outfits like this because it’s kinda more difficult to get proper deformations just by using bones. The method I settled on was to make a low-res mesh, like this:

Which the outfit can be binded to by using Blender’s Surface Deform modifier, in which then I can run a cloth simulation on the low res mesh. Here’s one of the tests I did.

The simulation largely works, but It does have obvious problems. I’m thinking of including cloth simulation proxies, like the one I showed, in the finished Injustice model pack, so that people can easily fiddle around with some cloth sim stuff on their own.

Here’s the dude I’m gonna use. Not much to say about him other than his outfit which is also from Hitman 2.

Here’s the room I made for the set.

The room layout is custom modeled, but a lot of the props and furniture are from Daz and RE3. I used some photo references when making the scene, and I think some parts look very nice, and some parts look very empty, but I'm gonna try obscuring those empty areas with the camera angles. Also, I scattered some of my image renders around the room. I know It doesn't make any sense for the scene, but it's a good way to fill up space, and it’s also kinda funny.

So that’s it. I’m probably gonna start the set on Wednesday, because there’s still some model fixes I gotta do.
