After releasing Zara I thought there was no possible way to improve my breast physics and rig, but I somehow did it again. From 16 bones per breast down to just five with no loss in functionality. I even improved some things while I was at it.
I don't really do renders with Blender, so if the image looks polished, that's probably realtime rendering in game.
I work in Blender and Unity, primarily in the creation of VRChat avatars.
Zara is now live on Payhip

As soon as I arrived in Monument by @sylantroh.bsky.social I knew what I had to do. A four minute long shit post:

Thank you to all the people who I forgot to record the names of. Keep building to the Promise Land.

I've been busy. Mostly making avatars, but also doing sick nose grabs on the streets of Tokyo.
Could be worse lol
My night so far
Testing the thigh and butt jiggle rig for my latest avatar project
A few youtube channels I've used heavily in the past to learn what I know:
SpeedChar (efficient sculpting workflow)
Flipped Normals (efficient retopology workflow)
Royal Skies (short-form general blender tips and tricks)
A friend shared this video with me recently, and I felt I needed to share it. Cam's advice is perfect. Don't look up how to make VRChat assets. Learn how to make game assets. Industry-standard workflows exist, and you can find them.

I was able to remove two bones, reducing the count to 16 bones per breast. Any lower and I wouldn't have proper squish and stretch where I want it. It's still two bones more than my old rig, but it needs no blendshapes for volume preservation, meaning outfits are more optimized.
When attempting to simplify your breast rig goes wrong. I guess 18 bones is the lower limit for what I'm trying to achieve.
Peak physics achieved?
Experimenting with stylization
Moo?
If it looks like this in blender, get rid of it.
Empty weight "recoil bones" don't do anything. If it's the last bone in the chain, and it has no weight, it affects nothing. You're just wasting bones in your armature.
Alright, they're just fucking with me at this point.
Ok, I guess I don't understand what counts as sexual content on this website. I'll just use all the labels for this post just in case. Oh wait! I can only choose one? Oh well, can't wait to see how this goes XD
