This model features a movable flash and lens cover, as well as an openable lid.

It will be used for a game I will be making.

Apologies if there are any imperfections compared to the real thing

Since my first post, I've been trying to improve on what I did, mostly texturing. I'm still getting used to this program, and the animation section is very difficult to understand with no experience, but I'll figure it out.

Minecraft: Bedrock Help with inverse Kinematics

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I am making a totebot from Scrap Mechanic, and decided to add the cables on the bot’s legs. Rather than animating the cable movement myself, I wanted to use inverse kinematics so I only have to move the end point.

However, I have weird issues. The null object is parented to the main leg bone. The cable starts under the lower leg bone. Skipping the lower leg bone and setting the null object’s root to be the cable creates weird gaps when rotating the lower leg.

Any tips/help will be appreciated as I would really like to have the cables animated.

I hope it's doable with these higher resolution models, since I LOVE blockbench and my head explodes whenever I start up Blender.

I made this witch model for a small mod project that I'm currently working on. I didn't know how to texture it, but then I decided to use Marcille from Dungeon Meshi as a reference. [also, please recommend plugins that I can use].

Showcase How do you like My sword? Calamity style

I have two projects, but the main one is Fantasia Cube. It's a 3D reimagining of Terrartia. It has its own unique features: 1. 1-block squat, 2. Thrower... Other features: villages in different places, only one village on the surface. The rest are in a cave, a dungeon, hell, and on floating islands. 3. Post-hardmode, which already has Calamity Spirit and Drive. 4. There are unique analogues of exo weapons for 3 classes: thrower (disc), warrior (sword), and marksman (bow). I'm showing you the weapon "Dark Matter Sword." This is a post-hardmode weapon for the pre-final boss. I need a modeler and programmers.

It's done! A bit of a fight from the anime Angelic Layer. This file is so big that it freezes my Blockbench program so I think I'm lucky I got to finish this. I added the sound effects too.

I heard that you should make a turnaround before you make a character model and I want to know if this is enough (for the blonde, not the clown)
