After the group meeting in this fortnight, my task is also determined, I am responsible for designing all the things of BOSS, but the first thing I have to complete is the production of the model as well as the rendering of the effect, which sounds simple, but in fact, it also needs to work in collaboration with more than one software, the following is the production process, I will be batch by batch for the step by step introduction.
Firstly, is about the character design.
1. The above pictures are my reference for making the BOSS, which comes from the game Elden Ring. Our BOSS is a female mage. In the shoulder design, I plan to add the elements in Figure 3 and 4, of course, we will replace the material with bones, and the characters will be Asian.
2. The first step of making the boss was to use the Character Designer to make a female model, and by using the adjustment function in this software, I combined some male features, such as a little double chin and bigger shoulders, and these adjustments would make her look bigger.
3. Next I exported the character model as an fbx model, imported it into MD, and resized the model.
4. The next thing I do first is the innermost layer of the robe, which I make very long to show the layers of the garment.
5. Then I adjusted the physical properties of the fabric, I adjusted the inner fabric to have a more leathery texture.
6. Next I made the second layer of fabric, which is a half-hung cloak, and in positioning, I used a needle tool to hold part of the cloak in place, otherwise it really kept falling off.
7. Make long scarves to hang on your clothes.
8. Freeze the lower garment and add a needle tool to continue fixing loose parts.
