Haruno Mebuki for G8F
🕑 Added 2019-06-07 21:58:20 +0000 UTC It's funny, after Mikoto, I was expecting the expressions on this one to be the most troublesome. Turns out, it's something else altogether. In fact, I got the expressions done in about 2 hours total. Much faster compared to Mikoto, which took close to 6.
In the most, what took the most time is actually something unneeded at all. I was about to release Mebuki, and took a look at MVegeta's pack, which then leads to adding an alternate texture for the dress, which then leads to attempt to create that Jounin costume, which then leads to finding that I can't rig for my life, as that upper body armor fought me the whole time. It very nearly defeated me, but I somehow manage to beat it into submission, at least enough to create this preview. Believe me, you wouldn't want to see what the original rig looks like...
So, fair word of warning. The rig on the armor can be considered to be very crude, and poke through are expect to be common. I added a smoothing mesh already, but, well, it comes with its own issues, namely because of the nature of the Shinobi Striker mesh structure, there will likely be weird distortions on the sleeves.
Not sure if it is deliberate. If it is for its intended purposes, the Shinobi Striker mesh works well enough. But attempt to modify it, and the mesh is a mess. Moving vertices around is all well and good. Try and cut off something, like I did with the sleeves here, and add the smoothing modifier in Daz3d, and it starts doing funky stuff.
Oh, and the armor uses parts from Sakura Shippuden as well as the armor pack, which I would likely have to revisit again to check the rigging.
Good news on that is that I modified another set of armor up. The original Shinobi Striker flack jacket does not have the Uzumaki swirl on the sleeves, which is weird, because every other game and media has them, that I know of anyway. I added a version that has those. I'll release that after checking on the rigging for the armor pack.
Sorry for the extended rant. This pack is surprisingly more troublesome then I thought. And now I want to go and do more, and get Mikoto her own Jounin uniform.
