NEW MODEL

So, I decided to port Illari from Overwatch. Instead of my usual process, I opted to recreate certain aspects of Nyl's shader using this approach. Navigating through the maze of nodes proved challenging, but eventually, I managed to dissect the parts I required. Although I'm still missing a few elements, I'm not overly concerned; I'll address them in the future.

I've been unhappy with the dick texture too. Whether I used a pre-made normal map or created one in ZBrush, it always turned out to be of low quality, and I couldn't figure out why. So, I just decided to use Nyl's texture and wrap it to the new dick graft I'm using. After swapping out the normal map to Nyl's, I noticed a significant improvement in quality. But I didn't stop there—I went on to wrap the diffuse, specular, and other maps as well. Should have done this from the beginning for sure.

ANIMATION

I have a specific purpose for bringing over this model. I plan to create an animation featuring her and Pharah. However, I'm undecided on the concept. I'm considering either revisiting a doggy-style animation to refine the movements or trying something new like a blowjob animation, as I haven't attempted that before. Any suggestions or ideas from you guys would be appreciated.

END

I also just got a commission to rig a model for someone, so I'll be pretty much busy with that for a short time. Apart from that I'm pretty much working on something every day. A lot of things in the 3D sphere take a lot of time and because of that It always feels like I never have enough time. But I'm slowly learning to be more patient with myself and take frequent breaks throughout my day. I used to just work 8 to 16 hours a day every day, but that method just doesn't work. Eventually, you'll start getting diminishing returns so It's best to just take frequent breaks and be on a schedule.

That's pretty much it.
