Ladies & Gentlemen ! I hope you are all doing well !Here is an update on the stuff i've been working on this week, it has been pretty intense because it was mostly technical things, but I guess it was worth the struggle and it will definitely make the animation process faster :- I've reworked the whole face rig, now the animation is mostly animated with bones and a few shapekeys. Back then it was mostly shapekeys which was causing a lot of trouble and making the face less natural / more complicated to animate. I have added custom bones on hands to control them, i don't have to manipulate each fingers seperately, it will be easier to animate most of basic hands motion.Shoulders are also moving accordingly with the arms, so i won't have to touch them that much anymore.I managed to find a way to make elbows split better through custom bones.I added extra bones to control "breathing" and when the character is wearing corset.The rest of the modification isn't showing but basically it was cleaning all the shapekeys that were not needed anymore, cleaning duplicated and useless textures / shaders / animation / fixing some transparency textures issues on haircuts . Most of these things were making my file heavier and saving was getting painful, now it's a matter of a couple of seconds, i'm super happy !And that's it ! There is a few things i need to tweak and finish like breast to go up a little when the shoulder is raised and then i'll move to other tasks that i planned :)Thanks for reading and for your support, have an awesome weekend ! ! !
