Miranda WIPs (3) (Patreon)

The patron survey was unanimous, and she was also the most popular mention on twitter too. I think it was an easy choice to do some Miranda. I didn't expect to do three... but that's how the drafts came about.

At first, I wanted to do a triple krogan scene. Due to the lower quality krogan models and anatomical challenge, it didn't come together easily. I changed it to Miranda with one Krogan and two more at the side. It wasn't quite what I planned, but it retained the atmosphere and would be an easier starting point.

I still wanted more with Miranda, so I did a group human scene. Since you can't see their faces, I think I could also do a batarian version.

I then revisited some of my original drafts, and realized I was closer to decent DP than I gave myself credit for. I wasn't going to shoot for all three krogan, but I improved the scene to suit two, and I think it works pretty well.

Potatofire777 comes up big with his Legendary Edition map ports, as I use them for all three scenes. I always struggle with Omega scenebuilding as much as I like it. It's even more difficult for Blender since most props aren't readily available, and I have to port them all. His port of Morinth's apartment instantly provides the Omega atmosphere with almost no effort. Despite my somewhat faithful recreation of that map, the actual apartment is another level ahead. These include many props like wall models that were simply never ported to SFM. I'm also using his port of Miranda's office for the second scene.

I don't want to promise that I'll get all three done, but I do want to work on them. These will be in the first group of drafts. Of these, I am starting with the first scene.
