Hi Folks - I’m going to give this a solid go, my tentative concept is for of “tech witch” in the Character Design category- : I’m a huge fan of Jodorowsy and Juan Gimenez’s collaboration in Metabaron world. So I’m aiming to fit my character into that universe - with hopefully my own twist. ![MetaWhich_001](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/7/7/4/77435cda1d8a8904d34037fba03fd872e492d5cb.jpeg) ---

(I was using Marvellous Designer, but slowly transitioning into a fully Blender workflows) ---

Woo I am back - I managed to brick my machine attempting to upgrade my HD - So had to have a total rebuild \_New MB, CPU and tower case - oh what fun!!! Anyway now to finish up with surfacing of Metawitch - I got all the physics on the skirt now working gain - I still want to do some tweaks on the physic, but the weight transfers and weighting templates in CC4 made the rigging process a doddle (easy). ---

A couple of notes as I realized I haven’t been keeping a particularly good working thread going on this forum (my bad) - so some blender screenies: ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/5/1/4/5140d75e9c4f0822ed3c3e838adb1e8c3b11443d.jpeg) ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/a/b/0/ab090c87f82d78ed7feffc98629c56eaa26176f6.jpeg) ---

My clothing topo - I was keeping it relatively low. ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/d/c/9dc62cd176842e8f5eeb339f452408ed13f3042f.jpeg) ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/c/6/5/c65629c818aeea3287b827a2b985f4edca2c3e89.jpeg) ---

Anyway I’m happy with it technically - but I’m probably going to do a more detailed pass on her as v2.02 MetaWitch (not part of a the compo submission obviously), As I wasn’t satisfied wit the look and detailing of my final submission. I have also subsequently learned some ways I can optimize my setup in CC4 with the intention of getting her working in a UE scene. ---
