 So, you're pretty good at using proxies, but sometimes the shadows are still wrong. Not a problem. So, let's talk about some of the things that can go wrong and what you can do when it happens. The first thing that you check when the shadows aren't smooth is the proxy. A lot of people make the mistakes of making their proxy way too complex, especially with the skirts. It doesn't matter if the skirt is pleated or frilled or folded. The base proxy, 90% of the time should always be flat because the really dark lines will be artificially textured on a map. This is a common practice for both guilty gear and the Genshin Impact style shading. So remember that all the real important shadows are textured in later. But what if that doesn't work? What if no matter what you do with the proxy, the shadows just don't seem to cooperate? What is plan B? What do you do when all hope is lost? Well, lucky for you, Yuli has shared his lord and savior with me, which I will now be sharing with you. The smooth button. When the data transfer doesn't seem to help, ask yourself if the shadows look better or worse than before. If they look better, apply the modifier. If they look worse, delete it. And edit the model, go to mesh normals and you'll see this beautiful word called smooth. I recommend adding it to a hotkey. I've set mine to Q and the way it works is you highlight the area with the shitty shadows. In my case, it's the whole thing and press the smooth button. You're done. Now in many cases you can actually use this method instead of the proxy, especially when you're short on time and there's no shame in doing so. 90% of your work is balanced in when to use the proxy, when to use the smooth and when to use them together. The last thing you should know and I'm quoting Yuli is you can try and perfect things if you want, but it's not going to be perfect and it never will be perfect. Even the professional guillotine models have some weird shading areas if you look closely. So do your best, but also accept that at some point you just have to be brave enough to say this is good enough and move on. So hope that helps. And as always, hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.
