Body Shape Sliders Showcase + Team Update (Patreon)

Hi there!

Body Shape Sliders Showcase  (For Patrons only! Please don't share)

Recently, Sonia and Léa worked on improving the different deformations in order to create a wide range of body types. What we mean by deformations: transformations applied to our base human model that will customize the shape and size of different body parts. This week, we wanted to show some of them. In this post, the model is grey and has a temporary underwear texture, there are no details on its skin because it’s a test body. The various deformations will have their own texture to emphasize the muscles, the shapes. etc. Each body type is made with different combinations of sliders that you will be able to customize individually.

Please note that face sliders and some body sliders are not showcased here (feet size, hands size, hips and shoulders width, for example).

For those who are new, Charlie is the nickname we gave to the neutral base body of the Parafolks. Each deformation is applied to Charlie’s body. We are modifying one area at a time and the sliders can be adjusted in-game to give the player full control over each aspect of the Parafolks bodies.

You will be able to recreate all the body types showcased in this post and many more!

As you can see it is already possible to create different body shapes with our model, but we still have a lot of work to do! We hope that everyone will be able to truly create the characters they want in Paralives and that the tools won't be too overwhelming, so it is a tall order.

Team Update

We have a bit of a sad news today: Camille will be leaving the team. We're grateful for all the work she did with us since she joined us as a producer. The team and I wish her the best for her next projects!

We're still looking for a third experienced game artist in Montreal to join us on the team. Also, we will be evaluating 1 or 2 extra positions that we might open soon. We'll keep you updated on all that!

Cheers,

Alex
