Malig Master Progress Log - Released (Patreon)

This post will document progress on Camilla's Malig Master costume port.
Newest images are first.

Blazing patrons can pick it up now here.
For everyone else, wait a while~

Jan 18
- Had to do a bit of texture work and ironing out some bugs.
- Even though I didn't want to make a color map, there was enough difference between areas to give me a decent start, so I did it anyways.
- I had to sacrifice some colors for customizability.

Jan 17
- Finally, First pass through game.
- Almost forgot head accessory.
- Mantle has been added to neck accessory slot. This is a different version with different bone layout. Might solve some breast clipping issues, but you'll have to manipulate it in the studio to avoid arm clipping issues.
- Mantle will be moved from Pantyhoses to Socks. Since there's already a mantle set in Swimsuit Tops, you can access it in the pantyhose slot using Allegretto. This gives you more options on how you want to or not want to wear the mantle.

Release date is tomorrow for patrons, going down the tiers week by week.

Jan 14
- List has been created. Placeholder entries have been placed in-game. I just need to fire up unity and finish up there. The picture above should give you an idea of what clothing items you'll get and what slot they'll be in. The top will be a single piece as a swimsuit. The mantle can be found in the panst section or the Swimtop section. Hair will be provided as a standard hair set or accessory.

Jan 12
- I've grossly underestimated the hair. That being said, I am now in Unity.

Jan 10
- Separated hair into major sections. All that's left is smoothing out the transition between bones then it's off to UNITY

Jan 8
- Added a new bone chain to the center of the hair. A section has been mostly separated. There are 6 more major chains that need to be polished.
- Unity should begin on the weekend.

Jan 6
- Hair  has been laid out and bound to the skeleton. Now I have to polish it to make it decent. You can see a lot of stretching I need to iron out.

- I'll only have an hour a day for the next several days to work on this before I can go all in over the weekends.

Jan 5
Half off is done. Mantle is done.
- What's left:
- Hair - I just need to line things up, sculpt a bit, and try skinning. The original weights were okay, but a lot of stretching. So it might not be that good for posing. So I might take some time to separate the major sections so they don't stretch as much as in the original.
- Unity - The unity portion mostly consists of building the materials, cleaning the textures, adding color maps and dynamics, and  building the list files. Even though it's just mostly black and gold, there might be a little too much detailing to easily make color maps.

I always seem to overestimate how long these takes. I don't have a lot of time this week, but it should be done soon.

Jan 3
- We're back on track. This is all that needs to be done.
- Polish mantle.
- Half off state (if any)
- Unity~~~~!
The clothes should support at least up to size 100.

Dec 29
- Looks like I missed the deadline. Guess where I got caught up in. The gloves!
Here's what needs to be done.
1: Skin the mantle.
2: Finish the gloves.
3: Polish the torso.
4: Polish the shorts.
5: Unity!!!!

If I didn't bother with polishing, we could've probably had a beta version of the suit only available.

God damn why does this take so long.

4/5 fingers are done. Afterwards, I have to transfer to the other hand and polish the other side. 

Dec 28
- Tomorrow is the true final day. It's the only day I'll have time to work on this for the rest of the month/year.
- I set aside time last week, but it kind of went fuck all with family gathering and all.

What needs to be done.
- Just skinning and import, woo woo!


Dec 17
- Inching closer to completion. Just need to polish the breast area and strap and get the mantle, then probably move on to hair.

Dec 11
- Almost there. Finger claws are placed. Just need to work on the body. Hopefully this is done before Christmas. I only really have 1 day of free time to myself this month.

Nov 17
- Shorts have been outfitted. Just needs a little polishing.
- Gloves have been outfitted. Finger claws needs to be placed in the correct position.
- The body has been isolated Will need to undergo outfitting,
- Mantle has been isolated. Will need to undergo outfitting.

Oct 20
Boots have been properly outfitted.
I have to keep apologizing. On a normal schedule, I should have been done outfitting a week ago, but I don't have a normal schedule.
Aside from the breasts and gloves, the rest of the outfitting should be done asap.

Oct 7
Outfit lined up. Mantle needs to be relaxed. Hair is much better than how it was done in FE:Fates.
