Android18 Vest - WIP4/lowpoly
Added 2024-06-21 16:16:20 +0000 UTCright, final piece of this set, the remaining denim vest and probably also the final WIP post for the android set as well.
completed lowpoly/mapping/bakes/arm tears/back logo on the vest. This is now ready to be textured and after that it should be done.
I want to mention something for the record, in case someone is actually going to take a look at the model files when this will be released and is going to discover the horrifying secret behind it. Okay, a bit dramatic there lol, but yeah, if you take a look at the wireframe image, you might've noticed it. The tear fibers on the arm holes ... they're actual geometry, not alpha cards. If you don't know what that means, great! If you do understand, I'd like to say that I know how incredibly stupid/overkill/wasteful/*insert bad adjective here* that is for a game asset.
so the tears were supposed to be made with alpha cards like I did in the past for items like the revy jeans and others and I was in the process of laying them, but as I was doing that I wanted to experiment to see how it would look with 3d fibers. I just liked the "fullness" so much that I even did a quick ingame test to make sure it would be fine and it wouldn't crap itself and I liked the look ingame even more. So yeah, I'm just going to ignore the fact that those tears are 3 times heavier than the full armor set put together and keep 'em. Don't judge me ... please :P
