Description

If the impression you have here from this test piece is that Syleth is a hot-head and Rowan is the voice of reason, then thank you because that’s exactly what I was going for. One would think it would be the other way around (and not for gender reasons)—Syleth is a mage, while Rowan is a werewolf. Normally, mages aren't supposed to be known for having temper issues—yet Syleth definitely has a temper, though she rarely loses it. But when she does lose her shit, Rowan is one of a few select people who aren't afraid to tell Syleth to "settle the fuck down."

I’m still working out my Toon Shader+Photo-realism setup. Some of the kinks that needs to be worked out revolve around shadow opacity, shadow terminus lines, line art (inverse hull doesn’t work well on the Aiko/Hiro3 figures), and lighting in general. I’m working on a huge write-up on my blog about the subject of Toon Shaders in Blender and my quest to develop a light-sensitive toon shader that started way back when I was using Poser. At this point, I think I'm doing this more for the joy of the technical challenge than for the art! The fun is in seeing how far I can push Blender. I'm also very curious to see what EEVEE-Next has to offer in Blender 4.1
