unpopular opinion the Maya models don’t look bad at all. But at the same time the only ones that look good to me are the ones in darker clothing, with darker skin, etc etc because YOU CANT TELL THERES NO FUCKING TEXTURING!!!!!!!!!

#rwde #also mostly talking about how the Maya models looked in v4-5 and somewhat 6 because #Wow the moment they put in that really chunky shading that looks ugly. IT LOOKED UGLY #characters like ilia looked good to me. no im not saying that cuz im her bff bestie forever friendship bracelet im genuine #adams design fucking sucked but I will not lie he looked good. and he looked fucking stellar in the short with his old design. #though again. that short had bloom lighting. and bloom lighting clutches all #they made his horns look like horns! yes we lost the mask texturing in the war but also WE GAVE HIS ASS ACTUAL HORN LOOKING HORNS!!!!! #ok enough stroking the only two characters I talk about on this account. #nora looked good! she wore bright colors yes but she also had that blacker jacket. #Ruby’s design also sucked but imo i feel it translated decently into Maya! #but then we get to v7 and you can noticeably tell stuff starts looking shitty outside of the backgrounds. #They smoothed out the girls faces. Will not lie it sometimes looks like they just copied Ruby’s base four times #and only editted the busy size or height to make the girls. The shading makes stuff look bad. The bloom lighting is gone. #Obviously I’m not wanting to blame the animators or modelers as they are for sure overworked to make this. #And as A 3D animator and modeler myself I do genuinely hope these people can be treated well. #But sadly just…. the models after v7 ain’t it for me
