So the PL Base V3 is getting to where it needs to be. Side views are pretty will going to be done pretty soon. Then it is front view and rear view.
There is so far 3 individual bases to work with. 2 are pretty well complete on the side view side of things. Front view is a tough one but largely done. I mainly need to find out a way to not make the mouth creepy looking.
Looking like the psycho wojak in it’s current state with the simple lips and detailed teeth. Probably need to add more nodes for movement in the lips. Would be more flexible anyway.
Everything is extremely polished right now though. Way easier and more flexible than the last 2 PL bases.

I got a little out of hand with the teeth.
Anyways. Time to visualise my thoughts on making the new base.

Teeth, Ears, Tongue, Eyebrows, some depth details then side view is pretty well finished.
Teeth will probably not be a rectangle anymore and have gums.
Then the front view. Pray for my sanity. I am so close to this base being solid. But I got a couple additions after the base is done to make. Then PL can start having aome clean new designs on the new base. This base will stick around for the rest of the series production so I need it to be done right here. Tired of having to stall because the base doesn’t hold up.

Unfortunately a good friend of mine @thoughtsofeverything who has helped with this series is running into some major financial issues. He\’s also been a big person in the SN community and considering where I am in popularity, I with little money to spare pitched in 50. If you throw in a dollar even, in the long run, we might be able to help him out of this situation.
I just can\’t stand by without helping out. I plan to take other measures beyond this platform to help out, but even if you go out and spread the word, it will be very much appreciated.
If you have any interest to help out, you can donate here.

I decided I needed to upgrade the PL base in order to efficiently work and ease the pain of the PL Slaves Team Members when working with the PL base. Not just in animation but character creation in a way. Old PL base also was a nightmare to port a design from side view to front view. I intend to fix that. Completely. Scale and proportion will be 1:1 this time between side view and front view because I rendered the models this time with the references I needed.
Flexibility is improved. Gotta work on the one knee there though. Shape as well improved. Haven’t gotten to the arms yet which I intend to be a great improvement and way easier to use that V2. I can already see something as simple as bendable toes being a ton of help.
Front view I am better prepared to handle. New references I rendered through blender at 4K in orthographic which translates proportion way better when moving something to SN. We’ll see where the 3rd version of the PL base goes. I plan for it to be the final version of the base unless Ralph pulls of some mad stuff that I could use in the base later on.

Hmm. Kinda wondering since everything is improved upon in PL Episode 4 what other people are most impressed with. Pretty well every sector of the video is covered here. I want to know where that animation shined the most.
Personally it\’s a tough choice for me. Everything had a lot of effort put into it.

Would be selfish of me and such a waste of beautiful figures to not let these get shared and used out there in the SN community. SN is in dire need of this stuff anyway in my opinion so I am working with Mantoshka to get his pack out. This is pretty much the rest of the background stuff I used in Episode 4.
I am just helping out in cleaning up some figures here and then I will pass them back to Mantoshka to submit to the site. Everything right now I pretty well got cleaned up. Just reverse engineering a folding chair and how it works. Everything is very functional now and it still looks really good.
Variety and Quality in one package. This stuff was really useful to me, it will be really usefull to all of you as well.
