This past weeks were kinda busy, but I manage to make some progress and updates to Izumi, dance motion is now to 60% completion for the rough motion, Izumi has a couple new morphs, smoothed the blink and wink morphs, improved the weight painting for the 3 new outfits, mainly the crotch and butt area, made her idol outfit skirt physics heavier, made her cheeks a bit more puffy and moved her ears down a bit, I am also testing a simple camera rig I made and I will post all downloads here so you can give me a bit of feedback if possible, by the time the motion is ready for release I'd like to ask you if you now of any models you'd like to see appear on the video since I will try to replicate the "call on me" music video preferablyif they have a swimswuit or similar so follow the theme of the video I am thinking of including Kaat and a model named Chie I just have to ask to their creators if the girls have the necessary clothing, it's gonna be funny seeing a sin sack dancing this too.

The links, the new version of Izumi will not be released at this moment publicly so only you will have for the time being.

Well, I didn’t give you feedback for her in a while. I still get annoyed whenever you change her proportions, but I’ve gotten over the changes in the 2B revision, and the last revisions where less drastic, which is why now is a good time for me to give objective feedback without whining, lol. I did a direct comparison with her 2.0 version, since it’s the one I’m still using. It’s the one I ported to blender, seen in my last video. So some of my points will be about changes made in versions 2.0.2 to 2.0.7. The differences are pretty amazing. I didn’t like the curvier proportions at first, but looking at her now, she is absolutely gorgeous. Some of my favorite changes are the ones you made to her belly. It was one smooth surface without any detail before, but now it looks great. She now has a navel, the transitions to her ribcage, hips and sides are better and overall the belly shape is much nicer. The new topology of her legs looks a bit cleaner now, since you removed that “mystery topology” (meaning I couldn’t figure out it’s purpose) from 2.0. I still need to test how the higher mesh density at her knees works in Blender with subdivision. I noticed that the back of her knees is weighted differently now. Overall it gives a nicer shape when bending the knees, and pronouncing that crease at the back of her knees looks nice. (Leg fetishist talking.) One thing I did for my Blender version of 2.0 was to give more weight to the knee helper and elbow helper bones, to make her knees/elbows more pointy. That would be my one suggestion for improvement, because in 2.0.8 they still bend very straw-like at narrow angles. Last, something positive I think I never commented on: So far for every model revision, I liked the changes you made to her head. I liked her face from the very beginning, because it wasn’t just a carbon copy of any mainstream model’s face. But while it was fine, objectively it wasn’t exactly her strong point either. She became much prettier with version 2.0, when you made her face less round and pronounced her cheeks better. Now in 2.0.8 she became really beautiful. Compared to 2.0, the pointier chin and puffier cheeks are the areas that make the biggest difference. There is not much to say about her hair, but slightly bending the hair tips outward made it look less spherical, which is nice. I hope I can find the time to use her more often in video projects, not just the still images of her, that I’ve been posting for a while. It’s a bit sad to only see her body used everywhere, while Izumi as a character is not shown very often.

Oh, I forgot this: The Call on Me motion is great news! Although any motion that can be used with an Eric Prydz song is a good motion of course! XD

Thsnk for your feedback guys, and as I was feeling a bit better about myself I found something that needed fixing, nothing big, for some reason I didn't enable the shadow for her body, just enabled again and re-uploaded it, the link has been updated, sorry about that.
