Definitely a big part of it. Loot is so plentiful and you can carry so little, killing someone to take their stuff won’t net you much. That math does change if you are in a high tier loot area, which I think leads to some very interesting choices.

I loved the model approach and recreated the intro of the game.

Sonder-44 is my new project. Here's a big thread of art & info.

Part scrapbook, part narrative, part worldbuilding, Sonder-44 follows The Photographer, a photojournalist participating in the D-Day landings, finds himself suddenly transported to an alternate 1944 where time and space has broken.

Heard about it through the grapevine as well. Game of telephone said he was shot in the head, but the message i received was 4 people deep at that point so who knows what the guy who was there said.

I'm still working on my YouTube video about a cheap erosion filter, but I've been tinkering with improving it as well. I recently had some nice breakthroughs overcoming various limitations of the original filter by Clay John and Felix Westin, and I can't wait to tell you all about it. #ProcGen

The Queens Thief series by Meghan Whalen Turner. The Thief is a little slower, but The Queen of Attolia is probably my favorite book ever. Greek influenced fantasy where everything comes together in the final chapter.

Eventually I want even quick poses to feel artistic, but for now I will settle for construction.

I’m not sure, sorry! I have seen some impressive rigs made in blender but I don’t know if it’s any easier.

I can relate haha. Good luck with it!

Once all verts are weighted lock the edge loops directly around the lips. Also lock any joints you don’t want influence on. Then it’s safe to smooth.

If you are going to be doing this often you should look into ngSkinTools and mGear.

Theres a reason every studio that rigs in Maya has a ton of proprietary rigging tools to extend it. Vanilla is shit for rigging. Last time I literally used the component editor.

Select a column of verts, assign weight values for each bone. Repeat. (Continued)
