Vincent was a challenge, but I did my best for one of my favourite characters in all of fiction. 💖 If I were to tackle this again, I would do a few things differently. But using Substance Painter for the texturing was a very promising experiment. 🤩

WIP of Vincent in Substance Painter. This is my first time using my XP Pen with SP with the keypad device. Taking some getting used to, but so much better than using a keyboard for camera controls 🤪 I lied earlier, hair isn't the hard part. Texturing is T_T #vincent #ff7 #3dmodel #substancepainter

Time for the final boss of any project: HAIR!😣 // I added a timer because I was curious how long these take me, but... I already wasted 2 hrs repeatedly making and deleting the boots and gauntlet... This one has given me so much strife, and his name isn't even Cloud! 😵 #wip #needbetterrefs

Added some magic for this. Seemed appropriate for her. :) I know it doesn't loop... lots of other little issues too. Why do I only spot errors after the render is done? 😭 Oh well. She turned out well enough, and it was still fun! Who should I do next? #ff7 #aeris #aerith #chibi #3d

Aerisu~ ❤️ Tried something different with the hair shines, not sure it was too successful... And I spent FAR too long trying to shade the dress. Texturing in this style is my biggest weak point. Still experimenting with watermark. Turnaround render coming soon! (: #ff7 #aeris #aerith #chibi #3d

Chibi Tifa topology. 💪 Was hard to resist the temptation to make everything too detailed, but she still ended up with individually modelled buckles and belt loops :P #ff7 #tifa #chibi #3d #topology

I realised right after posting the turntable render that I forgot something, uhh kinda important... her HAIRLINE. xD So here is another render, this time in flat colour and now with actual forehead detail, lol. #ff7 #tifa #chibi #3d

Hello world! :3 I make 3D stuff in Blender. I made this chibi Tifa in 3 days and needed somewhere to show her off. What do you think? (Be gentle, this is my first chibi! Also I'm not very good with textures... or rendering... so much to learn) Any tips for how I can improve? #ff7 #tifa #chibi #3d
