    Hello everyone, sorry I was absent for so long. I've been occupied mostly with the technical stuff and was trying to improve character rigging, ease of rig use, and especially facial rig. It is much more robust and flexible compared to previous models, works better when exported, and feels smoother. I know I said this model would be exclusive to Boosty supporters and I would release it earlier, but, sorry... 
    I didn't feel like modeling other body parts yet or paywalling basically unfinished project. Maybe later I'll modify it and publish a more detailed version. Besides experimenting with rigging, I was testing the newer Substance Painter version and trying to improve final texture quality. I'll post source files later as well. 

     I understand that the use case of that model is limited, but I'm thinking to keep experimenting with this model further. I want to make her an outfit or add some stylized fur, cuz it's still an unfinished project, and I just wanted to share the progress. Maybe somebody would pickup this model for trying animating action or exporting to VRchat (I wouldn't).

    Retopology timelapse of Master Tigress sculpt I did some time ago. The video was sped up 5 times but still has some cuts and pauses (sometimes I just forgot to record stuff :P).
Retopology is kind of a meditative process, and according to windows it took me 20 hours to finish it, though due to some cuts, this number is a little bit bigger.

    To be honest, during the process, I always had a thought that I was doing something wrong, and indeed I was. While editing, I noticed that I could do things differently and don't waste time in some areas. This video is a bit embarrassing to me, but I'm glad that I have made that video. I came to realization about certain things and how I can negate or speed up the process in the future.
I would call this video "How not to do retopology", I doubt I'll ever do a similar video anytime soon, especially considering that the recordings occupied 50gb of my hard drive.

This project meant for manipulating mesh vertex color. The idea of this project is to easily apply filters and textures in non-destructive workflow on high-poly models (such as character sculpts). Add GeoNodes modifier to the object.

Ambient Occlusion - Fast and nondestructive Raycasted AO;

Color Filter - Simple color adjustments with color channeled masks;

Geometry - Angle or Face Area based mask;
