Dev log - Updated Dana and Katie
🕑 Added 2021-04-15 08:47:52 +0000 UTCHello,
Welcome to the probably last mini dev log before the update of the reworked Chapter 1.
Today, I am not going to show some actual previews, but the rework of two main characters.
Dana and Katie. Two of the most popular love interests in the game. I didn't plan on previewing them at first- but I think it's good to be transparent with the changes.
It was important to me to make the girls future proof. That means a high quality skin (for Dana) and some in-depth adjustments of Katie's old skin.
In Dana's case, I experimented with a lot of different options, etc. I used different materials, maps, and adjustments and found something that I like.
Let's start with Dana.
A quick reminder of how Dana looked in Chapter 6.
All images in full resolution are at the bottom of the post.
I didn't change Dana much in terms of her sculpt, just a little here and there. I also kept her eyes. The big change is her skin.
Here you can see the old Skin again. (Tested out some new brows..)
It looks very plastic. It's not natural enough. The new Skin:
I made some adjustments to the skin maps in Photoshop and other softwares that are used to customise some thingies.
Well, that's the new Dana.
Katie.
Now we are getting to probably the most popular girl in WiAB.
Here is Katie from Chapter 5 and 6:
In Katie's case, I didn't change much. I changed her eyes and improved her skin details by a lot. Her sculpt got only very minimal changes. (Except that I custom sculpted her boobs and ass. Same for Dana.)
Another big problem were Katie's old brows. I love the form of them but they are pretty much painted on. (You can see it on the picture above. I always hated that but I lacked the knowledge on how to fix it.) I fixed it by adding a custom normal map to her face.
Here is the new Katie with the new eyes + skin details:
Important! Look at them in Full resolution!
The new Katie has two different hairstyles. Here the ponytail version. (The ponytail colours will still be adjusted.)
Keep in mind that between these new and old renders are eight months of improvement and style changes.
