A 3D render of an unseen Luna Blaster variant. It's a dark purple Luna Blaster with a glittery, translucent shell, and holographic rings that orbit around the protruding blobs.

The SOLAR Blaster is a flashy new space-based weapon by NEO with a kit that fits the theme! Invade the enemy base with Big Bubbler and chase your target with the Torpedo sub. Oh, and the holograms are just for show.

It sucks to see that Nintendo 2 Switch direct do everything right only for the prices to feel so deflating. I feel like the console itself is fair but games should never be hitting 80 dollars under any circumstance (even if itโ€™s 50 in a bundle). The fact their tech demo game is paid too is INSANE.

Contributor spotlight graphic for Rai. The image features washi tape and ink sploshes in 3 different colors around a white canvas. Behind that is a cross-hatched paper. At the bottom of the image is a character illustration.

The upper text says:

An inkling backflipping off the center bridge at The Reef. He's holding a Wellstring and pointing it towards the camera. The ground is covered in lavender and lime colored ink puddles.

When working with the game models you'll see that the expressions are separated into their own meshes, and those are also separate from the main head mesh. This creates a visible seam between the face and the skull, which introduces issues with subsurface scattering (if you use it). 

To fix this, just duplicate the head for as many expressions as there are, and join them individually (don't forget the mouth meshes too!)

Then you can go into Edit Mode for each new head, select everything (A), then merge by distance. Make sure the value is extremely small (something like 0.0001) to avoid accidentally fusing the lips together.

Then you can go into Edit Mode for each new head, select everything (A), then merge by distance. Make sure the value is extremely small (something like 0.0001) to avoid accidentally fusing the lips together.

If you fused the face models with the heads, now you're just left with multiple heads! Merging this to the Body mesh isn't a very good idea considering the expressions will need to be swapped out in the future. 

If you're not using subsurface scattering, you can just keep it like this - but if you are - the seam between the head and the body will be very visible. There is no way around this aside from making the entire mesh completely solid. 

So, instead of joining and merging the vertices here each time we make a new render, we can just use the Boolean modifier to temporarily join the two meshes into one during renders. 

Place the modifier on the body mesh, and make it look exactly like this. For the object, just choose the head mesh you'd wish to join.

Important Note: The Boolean modifier lags the viewport immensely, especially during posing. It's best you disable the modifier in the viewport, and only have it enabled on render. And in the actual outliner, reverse it. So, enable the unmerged head in the viewport, but not in the render.

๐Ÿงต Blender Tips Thread
(since quite a few were interested!) Decided to make these into images rather than risk the post character limit.
I'll be adding onto this thread whenever I come up with new tips. Keep in mind these mostly will be Splatoon specific!

First tip is "merging faces" ๐Ÿฆ‘

Forest to AK: cute! but what are you...? / we should spend more time together

Forest to Drax: you're strong. / hands off AK. 
Drax to Forest: you're tough. / wanna get some drinks?

At the top right, Agent 8 in her Side Order outfit is kneeling on the ground of an elevator, holding an octophone with Captain 3 on call with her. To the left of her are yellow-tinted coral, and beneath her are clouds, creating a border to the other scene. On the bottom left, Captain 3 is standing in Alterna, surrounded by snow, and with a rocket ship in the distance behind her. She is holding a sea cucumber phone that is on call with Agent 8. Captain 3 is saying "Hello? Hello??" and Agent 8 seemingly isn't answering.
