キトゥ · Kitu

Kitu is a little fox 🦊. The design is from a plushy I bought on the Inari yama in Japan. So I have no clue on who made the design. All 3D and renders by me tho.

This is my first Blender project outside tutorials. Using the plushy that accompanies me everywhere is well suited, I think.

Here are some cool stickers made with him. Feel free to use them as long as you keep the attribution.

Kitu's face with a neutral expression and half-closed eyes. Kitu's face with determined eyebrows and a small smile. Kitu's surprised face with wide eyes and an open mouth. A close-up of furry Kitu looking confused, with one eyebrow raised. A close-up of furry Kitu smirking. Furry Kitu facing forward with arms out and eyes closed. Kitu running with one arm raised and mouth open. Furry Kitu with folded arms, a smug expression and a raised tail.

My first concrete try at adding fur to Kitu. The face elements are protected so no Clipping occur, and some strand fur go over them instead, like it would in real life. Proud of the result, even if it does not achieve the result I wished initially.

That's all for today, folks!

Close-up of Kitu's face, with fur Blender Geometry nodes to clean hairs where unwanted, and move those that would clip Shader node in blender to select the right hair material based on the underlying material (selected thanks to another geometry nodes)

Kitu now has Fur!!!!! What do you think ? Prefer the lighter or the darker version ? #blender

Kitu with fur First try with full fur. A bit too much orange Kitu with too few and irregular hairs

Puberty time for Kitu. Hairs are growing from the geometry nodes building

Few sparse hairs visible on the body

Bit by bit I'm furring Kitu #blender

Cheeks + mouth has fur now

Last test of the day. I'm getting closer to what I'm aiming for (look only at the cheeks). But I'm not sure my computer can handle so much hairs for the rest of the body. #blender

A somewhat good version of the cheeks fluff Earlier version with fluffy cheeks

Can do better 😅. Fur is hard, on me and my computer. #blender

It's hair/fur time. #blender

Kitu with few hair on the cheeks, like a teenager.

End of the day, The rigging is mostly done. I have an issue with the belly white fur. Details, details... Otherwise, the result is nice.

In addition the pipeline to re-generate automagically thumbnails for all poses is done and working. Tomorrow , few more face expression and poses. After that FUR!#blender

Kitu meditating Kitu running away from that horrible topology Kitu contempt Kitu sitting in joy Kitu astonished All my poses in blender, with proper thumbnails automagically generated.

😲 Oups, I messed the whole thing 🫣 #blender

Rigging of Ritu in #blender in progress. How many bones to make it behave cute in addition theirs inherent cuteness already acquired?

Enough for today, the weight painting will wait for tomorrow .

The finish product of the Day2. Kitu is nice and cute like this. The tail is not really nice. I think I will have to redo it.

I did not dare to ask the AI if the topology was OK, because it was a mess down there 🙈. First thing tomorrow, redo properly that part.

#blender

As-is, I find them really cute and usable. I will see if I do the fur or the rigging first. I have no idea witch is best to do before the other.

Day two on #Kitu with #blender. The goal is to finish the model to be able to rig and put the furr later.

First, the big mouth shape part. After creating the thing, the topology was not good. My IA teacher told me I need to get rid of triangle in the topology because they create too much tension. Sooo I made Kitu relax. Personally , I do not see the difference.

I'm not expert enough to really understand the need for clean topology, but I accept the "it will behave odd later, so fix it Human!"

If you see a difference, tell me. (the lighting difference is just here to help see if there is any difference 😅)

Learning #blender by doing. After finishing the tutorials and NOT eating a donut because 3D is not edible; here I am trying to replicate my everyday plushy in 3D.

This is #Kitu. they follow me everywhere, but today is Xerox time!

Body was not that hard. But the ear was a pain in the ***! I ended up following www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKI4... to create the ear itself, and then cut holes in the head and ear to attach them together.

The blend is seamless. I'm really proud of the result. It is not a perfect copy of the plushy, but close enough for me. I home fur will play nice with that shape.

I start with Kitu, a little fox 🦊. The design is from a plushy I bought on the Inari yama in Japan. So I have no clue on who made the design. All 3D by me tho.
