Ethereal Crossroads

Comparison of Celes' old model vs her new model.

#Blender3D | #CharacterModeling

I've been updating Celes' model lately. I changed her cape to pink instead of purple so it doesn't blend with her robe as much. Gave her fingers and a couple of rings. Updating rig and weights, and just about ready to start animating~

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Got all of Aurora's new combat animations set up in the game. Also tweaking her launch mechanics so she homes in on the closet enemy when attacking instead of always stepping straight forward.

Side-by-side of Aurora's new model in engine. I'm loving how her new model is looking, especially when seeing the comparison. Can't wait to get all her animations in, and excited to re-do Celes' model next.

Crystalflares create Nightspawn. Destroying the Nightspawn produced by a crystalflare will destroy the crystalflare's barrier, allowing Aurora and Celes to damage the crystalflare.

Celes is more of a long-ranged caster. Her MP recovers a little more similarly to Sora's MP in KH2. Her MP bar slowly recovers on its own.

Also experimenting with enemies having different knockback and stagger rates.

I'm still working on re-doing my models, but I wanted to show some old footage of some of the girls' abilities.

Aurora is obviously the melee expert with her greatsword. Her MP recovers similar to Sora's MP in KH1, where she recovers MP by attacking with her sword.

But you are so right though! I realized sometimes just trying something again is better than just trying to fiddle with what you have until it works lol.

The animating is gonna beat my ass though 😁

Thank youuu! Iiiii dont want to admit how long I spent redoing and retrying ways to do her scales 😅

Quick pose for Aurora. Still need to touch up my weight paints a bit so I can start animating soon.

Still slowly working on Aurora's new model. Still a WIP, but I think I'm liking how it's coming along.

Still working on Aurora's new model. I think I'm starting to like it more.

Been working on updating Aurora's model in a less-chibi style. Still a work in progress. Honestly not sure which style I like more yet either lol.

The latest updates for my little RPG project. Made a small test hub world and turned my test combat arena into a little cave. I thought I'd add the combat controls to the HUD as well. Still super WIP, but progress is progress.
