Vertex Cat

Purple Girl by vertexcat on Sketchfab

(Concept by Eri Miranda)

In my newest model I relied on Blender’s skin and subsurf modifiers for the arms and legs. Most people are familiar with subsurf (subdivides a mesh, used to get a smooth appearance and/or add more geometry for better detail) but I think the skin modifier is pretty unique.

I like to think of the skin modifier as something that makes vertices 3D. So if you have a single vertex and put a skin modifier on it, it makes the vertex a cube. A line of connected vertices becomes a series of cubes, aka a subdivided rectangular prism. Here’s what that looks like in Blender:

A few examples of camera options/focal lengths for the same scene. I picked the already-wide 22mm but that fisheye looks kind of interesting, too? Like imagine if the phone was a building or something.

I kind of really like texturing in Illustrator? Adjustable blends for all those dashed lines <3
