Create a look?

[Tyler Durdenski]

Hey guys!! Been using VAM for a bit playing with looks, scenes and plugins but want to move onto doing looks that cannot be found. Do i need to go from scratch in Blender or can i achieve this from an existing look in vam modifying it to what i need with plugins, morph or i don't know what?? Ex. I would like to create a aged Rapunzel and Vanallope...

Thanks

There's all sorts of different approaches to this and it really depends on how much experience you have in 3d.

The most basic is to start with the default look or maybe a look from the hub and modify using existing morphs but you'll probably run into the situation where a morph doesn't exist to do what you want specifically.

Next level you could send a model possibly part morphed to blender and create custom morphs there to fill in any gaps in your morphs library or to fully create the look.

Creating aged looks is going to be challenging as you cant really model much of the aged features as the mesh res of the vam model is too low so if you want to do that you will need to tackle these details via texture. You would need to make a high res model of the look with the aged features sculpted in and bake that down to a normal map to get some of the features you want. Maybe there's some textures on the hub that might do the trick.
