On Wednesday, I continued following feedback given by lecturers and resculpted the loincloth so that there was slightly less symmetry and more stylisation in the bold, crisp edges. Once again, I used damstandard, pinch and hpolish on add and sub to create height and depth in the folds.
I had also discussed with lecturers the idea of adding cloth physics to the scarf, so I remade the tail ends of the mesh and reattached them. The original mesh was just a smaller tube within a tube, with the scarf ends coming out of the bottom of each side, but I wanted to make it look more believable as a scarf despite the character being stylised. I decided to trim holes into each scarf tube and then connect them to eachother to form a spiral, then again to one of the scarf ends, then I could slot the other scarf ends at the bottom of the other side, where the inner tube would also lower to, creating the image of a scarf wrapped around the character’s neck. To achieve this, I used the move tool and lower subdivisions to deform the scarf into place as cleanly as possible, then reassign polygroups and dynamic subdivide with creases to connect the edges more seamlessly. After that, I masked specific areas of the original scarf and projected it onto the new one to enhance the edges where they had softened.
