The updated Human model is joining the ranks of the Orc and Goat (and Night Elf) models. All have SL assets and feature extra geometry, you know the drill. I learned a few new tricks while exporting this model too, which will help me streamline the process while avoiding a few pitfalls and glitches affecting the other models like the Orc (you probably won't notice it cuz I'm good at concealing things).
I think you can see for yourselves the changes that I've made to the model. There's just two subtleties that I'll note though since they may be too subtle:
- The white guy has highlights in his hair. Let's just say I was inspired by that game whose name must not be mentioned, which offered interesting hair highlight options.
- SL removed the facial hair textures on the actual model. I always thought that was a huge and fatal flaw with the new customization options imo, because many of these new facial hairs look kinda awkward and awful just being on top of "bare" skin. It blends very poorly. Luckily for all of us, I've kept those textures so as you can see on the white guy, his facial hair blends in real well with his body.
The morphs, as always, are adjustable. But I had a lengthy discussion with Siggy and Mr. Hornyfang on which morph was the "best" for this new Human, specifically centered around his abs. I personally liked Ver A, while Siggy and Mr. Hornyfang liked the one I marked "Siggy's Pick". Ver B is basically Siggy's Pick imo, but with broader abs that slightly better resemble how they look on the pre-morph model, so it's kind of a compromise between Ver A and Siggy's pick.
There's no ass shots. Y'all know by now that these models have asses so I feel no need to showcase them since I find the rear rather uninteresting looking compared to the front or side.
More excitingly, the new SL customization options allows us to play around with diverse looks for Asian/Black characters now, so that's something I'll definitely be looking more into in the future.
This updated (not new if you've been following me) design for my still unnamed Black OC is still a WIP, but I hope to use him sooner rather than later. He seems rather naked atm, no pun intended. I've decided for a long time now that I want him to be a Monk, but what he'd be wearing is still up in the air. Not that it probably matters too much anyways because I'm sure you would all rather see him naked.
I haven't really brainstormed any ideas for an Asian OC yet. I'm thinking really long hair/beards though, kinda like in those gacha games that I keep seeing. We'll see.
