Everyone please thank my bootleg Miku for her service and say hello to her replacement (which stole the bootleg’s cinnamoroll and will keep him forever)

kind of a shame there's no mmd shaders (afaik) with support for shadow maps because look how nice the face looks with it... it'll probably look better when i figure out how tf people do hair cast shadows with this kind of setup

for context, i’ve been struggling to draw his face right, and last night i course-corrected a little too hard… now i’m mad i don’t look like an inaccurate bald sketch of the most insufferable twink in existence

Someone smarter than me please answer: does the ah-soft user discount apply only to the physical or digital version? The price screams digital, but the fact that it’s grouped with the physical version and redirects to world shopping implies otherwise 😭

...and spent the day fighting rigging demons (arm/wrist twist joints) Still some clipping issues and painful-looking arms but at least the ears are cute

Zestea 🌸 @zestea.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

Also. Obligatory process on Nerika Got textures done on the default outfit...

Zestea 🌸 @zestea.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Actually if you’re looking into body topology, I should point out that I used the Pixar elbows/knees method It’s oddly specific and not a lot of anime-style models use it afaik, but it makes them bend more realistically if you also have arm twist joints 👍

(looks a little weird in the screenshots because only some parts have the subdivision modifiers applied) i'm just half-complaining because the design of the bodysuit inherently means there will be a bit of extra work and i'm kind of a lazy bum lol

000

Zestea 🌸 @zestea.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

literally designed the outfit myself and i'm still in shock at how incredibly LETHAL certain parts of it look in 3d lmao (clothes textures are literally just base colors rn please don't hurt me)

Modeling + texturing for one outfit is done I want to finish rigging it immediately but I still have to do the other outfit ughhhh

I finished rigging the base as well It's uhhhhh more bouncy. Than previous Nerika models. In my defense I wanted to try something fun (no real nudity, she's built like a barbie)

the cool part about going to school for things you genuinely enjoy is that sometimes you go into cooldown and can't willingly do those things outside of school for months
