Project 14 - Update 1 - 10/14/2023 (Patreon)

For this month, I will finish up the final puzzle of Ethyria. Yes, I'm going to make Reimu Endou from Nijisanji EN.

Reimu's Design is extremely unique compared to the other livers. It definitely has more "Halloween vibes" than even Millie herself. Her design is the most mythical out of all Niji livers. I do not think that it is hard to make the model. However, I'm quite conflicted about whether I need to make a texture or model the torn part of the dress by myself. I finally decided to use the blade tool (K) to trace it up.

Her halo is the most difficult to create. It reminds me of when I was creating Finana's model. I got stressful flashbacks of my blunders when making Finana's model so it's not a good sign. Rigging the bubbles is the hardest part as they will usually scatter all over the place when being moved. Fortunately, I found an easier method by utilizing Meta-Ball to do my work automatically and convert it into mesh.

Reimu's model is fully rigged and ready to be animated. I will focus on making the background next week.

I hope you enjoy this week's progress!
