New 3D Model showcase ✨ A huge thank you to Virelia for allowing me the absolute pleasure of translating their character into 3D!!! I'll be showing off some details and features in the near future so please keep an eye out~ #ZelWorks

The eyes on this coat are actually separate meshes. It makes editing them a lot easier and keeps topology clean! If you wanna know how to place your smaller objects on a curved surface in an easy and non destructive way, here's how to do it using latices and shrinkwrap! #ZelTips

Here are some close ups of Eznick's vtuber model 📸 I'm especially proud of all the eyes on the coat and the highlights on the tentacles! 🐱 #ZelFridge

Here's a look at the effect on the tail of Lideo's vtuber model! Works with a deform modifier and edited voronoi texture, both animated! #ZelFridge

Here's an example of Lideo's chat mascot in action! It works via system audio in this example but it can also work with the text-to-speech from chat during live stream!

Figured out how to make custom facial rigs for this project 🤓

here's a closer look at the little guy! The effect inside their body has been done in a special way. If i did it with the inverse hull method there would be a lot of clipping near the joints. So instead it's done through render layers and manually choosing which parts render first! #ZelWorks

Two models I made for Lideo (@lideovt on Twitter) 🐱 One is a vtuber model and one is for chat, which will work with text-to-speech! I tried making a 3D animation but it's sooo hard. Animators are on another level 💦 #ZelWorks

The model I made for Lierakyu (@lierakyu on Twitter and BlueSky) She was very patient with me and I'm really thankful for that! The feathers have been done with 'cards', a method frequently used for realistic hair. The braid also took some time to model but was a lot of fun to texture! 🖌️ #ZelWorks

Fan-art of a character design made by Bai OU on Artstation. I really loved the concept and I wanted to challenge myself by making a bulkier character. I made it with game dev in mind so I did my best keeping it optimized 🐗 #ZelWorks

Here's a lil quality of life tip for in Blender 🐱 If you hold the Alt key while changing parameters, it will change them for all of the objects you have selected. Works for pretty much every number you can find in Blender! #ZelTips

Here's a wip i started quite a few weeks ago! One day it will look like the 2XKO Illaoi design but for now it's going in the WIP vault 🐱 #ZelWIPs

I had the opportunity of making the head for Juni Kodama's 3D model (@JuniKodama on Twitter) I was very happy to work together with such a kind and fun person 😊 I'm glad I got the face to look as close to the reference as it does now and I had a blast texturing the branches especially! #ZelWorks

A new outfit for Star (@StarHopperGalax on Twitter). It's based off of their first outfit. But it has some extra charm points as well as the arms being free to move, the fur is done in a different style, and the hood is toggleable! The body also has it's own galaxy effect! 🌌 #ZelWorks

This model was made for Ioxiaw (@adeptus_dankus on Twitter). They wanted a servo skull as a vtuber and I felt up to the challenge! The hardest part was getting both physics and animation to work on the tentacles. The metals were also important for this model so I made sure they popped! #ZelWorks

Here is Zel! (Version 2 to be exact, only OG's remember Zel version 1 😤) I've added floating arms because I felt it would be a cool feature to experiment with both in keyframe animation and as a Vtuber. But I honestly still need to get around to playing with it 😅 #ZelWorks

This model was made for Preji Leviathan (@PrejiLeviathanV on Twitter). This model was made to look like it has the Danganronpa art style. So the textures look a bit rougher and the outline thicker. The coat was quite hard to do but man does it look cool posed 😎 #ZelWorks

The first vtuber model I made for someone else. Rigging the poncho was certainly difficult but the design was just so beautiful I'm really happy i got to make it into 3D 🤤 Made for Star Hopper Galaxy (@StarHopperGalax on Twitter) #ZelWorks
