Brody - TWD Final Season

Brody has arrived from Telltale's/Skybound's Final Season of the Walking Dead!
Credits to FrankDP1 for allowing me to use his better looking textures.

I've tried making sure this model works as smoothly as possible. Some features of this model includes:

General

• Facial Flexes for quick face posing!
  
• Dynamic eyes with viewtargets!
  
• Biped skeleton for use with rigs!
  
• Face Bones to recreate any expression!

Skins

• 0 : Default Lines
  
• 1 : Injured Lines
  
• 2 : Walker Lines
  
• 3 : Default No Lines
  
• 4 : Injured No Lines
  
• 5 : Walker No Lines

She will receive cosmetic updates in the future, which contains additional bodygroups and skins that I plan on adding.

Planned Bodygroups

• Bashed Eye

Planned Skins

• Beta Hair & Eyes

Perhaps the one character that could make me understand material shading even better.

A little note: Brody was supposed to be out within the first week of December. I had her working in SFM and everything, but I decided to add in a couple more options for her skins last minute. As it turns out, getting good looking blood is more difficult than I thought. I had to do a lot more studying over on the Valve Developer Community wiki to get a grasp of what I wanted to achieve, and I'm not entirely unhappy with how they turned out. Maybe I'll try improving it once I get the Definitive Series so I can get some better references.

On another note, I might have made a little discovery while getting Brody ready to port over into SFM.

Each time I port a character over, I have to recreate all 63 expressions one-by-one. If you consider that I've done 9 characters, that means in total I've had to make around... 563 flexes? It's not a process I've come to enjoy, and is undoubtedly why these take a long time to do. Due to Telltale's working environment at the time, I think it's reasonable to think that they didn't have to animate expressions by hand. It likely worked like a puppet; Bones being pulled and posed into predefined positions to achieve the expressions. I think I found a way of doing this, but - due to a mistake I made while making Brody - I couldn't see how well it worked using her.

If I can confirm it works, I'll be going back and redoing Clementine's expressions. As of now, Clementine's are over-exaggerated and definitely aren't fitting. It took until I ported Young Clementine to even think of using in-game reference, which was a terrible starting point due to her low amount of screen time. Even then, I feel her's are too stiff since the one scene where the model got screen time hardly portrays a wide variety of expressions. Clementine will likely be the one I use to set these poses, since she's the character with the most screen time throughout the season, so I'll have plenty of reference.

I'll likely be doing these tests until January. If my theory ends up working, then I'll probably spend January getting all corrective shapekeys done and update everyone with them alongside the material upgrades. It would be a massive weight off my shoulders if it works out, since all I would have to left to do is any unfinished bodygroup or skin options.

For now though, I won't make any promises. I'll suppose we'll see how it turns out in 2021.
Note ; The facial flexes are currently unfinished. I left in the face skeleton so you can get the face you want or fix any issues found by combining two flexes as I have not done every single Corrective Shapekey. In spite of this, this is a full release since I can add those at any point and it won't majorly affect the model.
