youtu.be/NgDNCZyUznw did a flight through the solar system in a Daedalus class cruiser
Working on trying to continue to make 3dsolarsystem.online the most immersive photorealistic experience of the solar system available
Legitimately don't care if this never makes any real money it's just so ridiculously enjoyable to work on and knowing how many people are learning about the universe through my work is thanks enough.

Never learned proper rigging so I just made the simplest character setup I could.
Result is… not terrible?
Gonna keep improving these guys and see how it turns out.
The rigging tool I built animates the mouth by tracking my mouth and the eye tracks my eye lids then i use the mouse to move their heads around
This is what the tool looks like so far, little side project to explore gonna see what this leads to
