Male Base Body - Featuring Diluc (Patreon)

After talking about the male mods, I remembered I had made a Diluc back in the day - before I started Genshin modding, while I was going through my lewd Genshin animations (but really just Jean) phase. I had intended him to be a prop for a Jean sex animation, but it never got that far, so it just sat collecting proverbial dust.

Anyway, it wasn't in great shape... I dusted it off and had a go at sculpting it. Didn't go well. Nearly gave up on it. But luckily another member of the AGMG community had made a base male body for their own purpose, and were willing to offer it up. I accepted the offer - had a look... and it wasn't up to my standards - but it did have a great skin texture that they derived from Al Haitham's see through shirt.

Using that body and texture as reference, I had another go with this body, and reproportioned it... and it finally started to click in place and look decent!

Then I got to texturing it, and it really started to shine! The cool thing with Genshin texturing is that you can get it to do a lot of the heavy lifting with suggesting contours. The combination of diffuse and lightmap has an effect sort of like a normal map has on other games!

After a few hours, got the body to a state I'm really happy with - probably my best Genshin body to date TBH! Or at least the texture work on it is.

At the very least, I'll have Diluc and Zhong Li matching the girls on my party screen ^^;
