How long until Venomicon’s sprite is implemented? It looks pretty much done
Got everything for Mumbao rigged animated and rendered. Thanks Flicks for helping a bunch with the rendering process!
It is a bit big for a prevo, but given its height its about smack dab in the middle resolution wise and the details are thin enough that reducing the size makes it too crunchy.
Unless there are any major complaints, I think this is done?
EDIT: Turns out it's okay to change the shiny a bit. So I'll recolour the shiny and adjust the lighting to put the back in more shadow and then re-render for the final product.

Looks nice, But the back models seem to have a darker color then the front models. Is that purposeful?Got everything for Mumbao rigged animated and rendered. Thanks Flicks for helping a bunch with the rendering process!

They all use the same texture, so it's probably just the lighting/shadow.
How did you model that so fast compared to the main CAPs?
Probably about 50% because Mumbao is a pretty simple design to model and rig being mostly simple round shapes, and 50% because I was procrastinating my course work lmao.
Speaking of 'fast' I relit and edited the shiny (warmed up the body and made the leaves a bit bluer) so here are new renders for those.
EDIT: I'll give it a couple days for any final thoughts here/the discord, after which I'll post the actual no-jokes-forever-hold-your-peace renders

K so this has mod approval so this should be the final render.
Made additional adjustments to the shiny and thickened the lines on the texture so that it can be rendered at a smaller resolution.

spinning diamonds pretty please? 
Love every single one of the models and renders here ! I know it's still early into Gen 9, but has the team continued to work on unfinished stuff like Venomicon and Saharaja ? Feels sad when such a wonderful project stays silent for this long. 
Looks gorgeous! How did you create such a single, continuous shape with all those little details?
I grafted them together like some sort of frankenstein's monster + subsurf modifier, lol. Old WIP model:
The hands at one point were separate too.
Working on changing the proportions from my previous post to be more accurate to Yokai's final art, but after that it should be ready for the next steps.
Home Styled?
Hey, saying here that these models are perhaps the best part of the entire forum for me, I love seeing those crisp GIFs that show just how beautiful these designs are ! I was wondering how progress on models like Cresceidon, Hemogoblin and Chuggalong are progressing right now, because the discord channel on the CAP Discord seems pretty inactive.
Hey Onion! No, mostly is that the amount of people decreased and thus the models, but the project is still open, just with no activity. If you'd like I can send you an invitation to the CAP Discord where we have a 3D modelling channel. There are other things in there that are not posted in here.
