Artemis DevLog CH7

Hey everyone!

Just got done flushing the waterloop and for my render PC. I keep that thing in the garage and with the kind of heat we get here in the summer. Waterloop keeps things cool. She's back online and purring.

So, Artemis is goin' to college to learn from various personalities. With that comes various activities she'll participate in as she learns to be more human. This opens up an opportunity for me to resolve an issue. Some of the girls use Out of Touch hair which looks great but doesn't translate well when converted to Blender. So, I've been bouncing the idea around of having them together giving themselves a bit of a makeover. For the INKs, Katy, Paige and June have Outoftouch hairs. So Artemis, Zelda and Naomi would be keeping their current hairstyles. DK, Reina and Kindra's ponytail are Outoftouch hairs. I haven't 100% decided on this yet, but something to throw out there and see opinions on. Would you like to see them adopt a new hairstyle? Some have changed already. June being one example. I've been slowly growing her hair out-it's gone from her jaw to about shoulder length now. Paige fans want to see her with shoulder-length hair? If I do anything dramatic like that, I'll run a poll. But wanted to see what your thoughts were, since hairstyles can dramatically change one's appearance.

More behind the scenes this week, working on another location. Cabin in the woods!

This one needed a bit of work. Not all surfaces were UV mapped, so I had to create them. As well as separate some of the mesh to better texture some parts.

The textures that came with the base model were pretty bad. So the touchups are a necessary step.

Here's the model with the original texture

Finished product.

That'll do for last week.

Have yourselves a great week! And stay cool!
