For the first step. Block out the model first.
Low Poly is made from very simple shapes. Dont overthink it. Make it simple.

See that the arms arent blocked out yet? Second step would how to try to estimate the arms length.

The scarf isnt blocked out too. We'll get on that after the arms.

>>892300
This is how i usually estimate the arms length if the reference is limited.

Set the Pivot point to 3D cursor. Click the "shoulder" or where the arm should start.
Extrude with E. Extrude until the elbow. Then check if its good. Then start extruding to the arm.
I used the vertex slide option + double tap G to move the vertices along the line i made to make the correction.

Alright. We have two options for the scarf.

1. Make it detached on the main body and as its own object = More vertices
2. Make it attached on the main body = Less vertices.

We are going by the 2nd since this is the low poly version.

Alright im back.
Now we gotta do some simple rigging.
Legs first.

Part 1

Shift + C = Put the 3D cursor in the middle of the scene. We want the armature to be in the the center.
Object Mode > Shift + A (Add new thing) > Armature > Simple Bone.
Follow the placement of the bones as seen in the webm.
When you are finished with the left side bones highlight it all.
Put pivot to 3D cursor > Shift + D (duplicate) > S (Scale) to the > "X" Axis > Negative(-) 1 to mirror the bones to the right side.

Anonymous at Mon, 18 Apr 2022 05:06:54 UTC No. 892415

>>892414
Part 2.
Rename the bones as seen in the webm.

You have to label them as .L or .R in order for the symmetry to work. They need to have the same placements too.

Inverse kinematics next.

Anonymous at Mon, 18 Apr 2022 05:22:13 UTC No. 892418

>>892415
Part 1 of the IK.

Edit mode > highlight the tail of the bone > Extrude(E) to the back of it > Highlight the bone we extruded > Alt + P > Clear parent so we can move it freely.

Pose Mode > Bone constraint properties > Inverse kinematics > Target ("Armature") > Bone ("Leg IK .L) > Chain length (2) since we only want to control the lower leg and the upper leg.

Select the bone then try moving it. Its very fucking shit. We do a simple fix in part 2.

>>892418

Anonymous at Mon, 18 Apr 2022 05:43:17 UTC No. 892422

>>892418
Part 2 on why its fucking up where its bending. Simple mistakes can happen. You have to align the bones in the X axis and to recalculate the roll(Where the bones are facing).

Dont forget to go back to edit mode!

A to highlight > Numpad 1 (front view) > Ctrl + N > Recalculate (View axis) > then align the bones.

Dont forget to go back to edit mode!
As shown.

Alright we see that its bending in the right place and not sideways but theres still another problem.

To fix that we add pole targets so we can define better in where the leg should face.

Part 3. Its still spastic for some reason. Its because of the >>892419 part.
Dont offset the IK to the bone area. It was a mistake on my part.
Edit mode > Select the IK Bone > Ctrl + P > Clear parent
As shown.

Anonymous at Mon, 18 Apr 2022 06:01:34 UTC No. 892425

>>892424
Part 4. We want to control in where the legs should face. We use pole targets.

Edit mode with the armature selected > Shift A to add a new bone > align the point target bone with the leg bone

Pose mode > Select the leg bone in where we attached the IK > Bone constraints > Pole Target (Armature) > Bone (Leg PT .L) > Pole Angle (90 degrees) or it will face east or west (thing we dont want to happen)

Now we can control where the bone is facing + Bending.

Part 5 is putting weights in the mesh so we can actually see it work in action now.

Anonymous at Mon, 18 Apr 2022 06:13:31 UTC No. 892427

>>892425
Part 5.

IK and PT should have the deform option unticked.
Select the bone > Bone Properties > Deform *untick*

Then after thats done
Object mode > Select the mesh you want to put weights on first then select the armature > Ctrl + P > Automatic weights.

This should work flawlessly since our model isnt really that complicated. As long as the bone placement is good then it should weigh correctly.

Right leg is self explanatory. Just do what you did with the left leg.

Separate the parts in where we have to paint the ribbon and the backside so it doesnt mess with our UV seams.

Part 2

Click the UV Editing window on the top

Separate the scarf and the skirt part just like in part 1.

Go to modifiers of the scarf and the skirt then apply the mirroring.

Mark seams as seen in the video

>how is it different from the scarves and the backside?
We can save texture space when we UV map since we can symmetrize the texture of the uniform. Its automatically done if the mirror modifier is still used.
If we symmetrize the scarf and the skirts the textures would look bad. Thats why we applied the mirror modifier so they take more texture space when we unwrap them.

If we dont make seams in the loops then it would look like shit and non uniform as seen in the first one.
But if you followed part 2s seams it would look uniform and easier to texture.

Normal - I assume that this is for the whole region of the mesh. If its connected or not.
Material - What kind of material does a part of a mesh have?
Seam - Explanatory. The seams stop the selection. If it doesnt then you missed a seam somewhere
Sharp - I assume that this is for hardsurface stuff which i dont have any experience on.
UVs - UV islands i presume? It works like seam if you've already unwrapped.

I can't quite tell from this unwrap, but if that thing in the upper-right corner is the collar of the shirt, I'll teach you a trick to getting better textures. As I'm sure you've noticed, lines start to get really jaggy when you try to paint them diagonally. You can work around that by lining up your textures so straight lines go horizontally or vertically. I drew an example at the bottom to show you what I mean. If you unwrap it so it looks like this, you'll get the same lines without the jag, since the white lines won't be drawn at an angle.

Pic related is what I mean. It makes a HUGE difference, especially on low-poly models.

Granted, maybe I'm just misunderstanding which texture that is in the top right.

That's a difficult question, since there are a lot of ways of doing it and some work better for certain uses than others. Like with the mouth, you can either do it the "standard" way, the "fuck the polygons, since it's using a normal reference object anyway" method, or the weird "mouth floats in front of the face" method. All three of them work best in very specific situations, but require completely different layouts to work (like the second method requires a very specific material type and a face that isn't heavy on textures).

Regarding anime shaped faces, how are eyes handled? Is it just a texture, or do they have actual eyes and eyelids like normal models do?

depends on the level of detail (of the model) and the anime style (more abstract - more realistic). Often they are just painted on, sometimes there is some form of eye mesh, actual eyes and eyelids are there if the style is closer to reality.

This is actually very interesting. But I'd like to go from there to any animation I want by using some text interface. So I could program movements. Also we need her to have facial expressions.
