M1nt

Hi! as 2024 comes to an end, I scrambled to update one project I put aside 3 years ago, M1nt.M1nt is dumb pink oni girl that fails at everything but never feels discouraged.
I'm preparing her for acting, setting up mocap controls and all that, this will continue in 2025, until she ends up in UE5 virtual set. Lots of stuff learned, even more to learn!

Started her in early 2022, did some quick visdev and animation tests, then I realized I don't have the skills to get this project where I want to, so it took extra time to pick up necessary knowledge to get this moving.
Worth the wait, the magical moment when I plugged MocapX tracking to Maya blew my fucking mind.
