Time for 5th Dimension to get it's tech update. When I applied much of the new learning to my 4.x Art Style XenoEngine, it didn't change the nature of the model all that much. (Most of the experimentation and work I'm doing are geared toward perfecting that model for my game system). When applying it here - the "style" appears mostly the same in terms of portraiture and so on - but the overall composition is quite different.
I've also started a bit of a new approach to things on the learning end. The big thing there is that I'm no longer worried about whether or not the model can do "???? things." We obviously want "????" - since this model is primarily for portraits and people - but SD is still a good ways away from being able to spit out complicated things (you know, like ???) without arms and legs going all akimbo.
I am NOT making any special effort to make it NOT do ???? - but over the next few generations of these model series we'll be looking at ????, ????, and all that - but we're not going to be pushing to try to make it good at anything above that MPAA R Rating.
