Is Rafayel's element fire, even though he's a water creature, because of the setting sun on the ocean? The ever-burning, never-extinguished flame.

[Coldsaturn]

His element being fire is very important for his lore and the role he has in it as the Sea God, but this too sounds so right for him ;<

one of us need to learn how to draw. we're really being held back here :P

/hands in hair
I can make custom the sims 4 poses in blender? Does that count?

[ChicletPrime]

everything counts! oh my god. i never .. i never even thought about trying to create them in Sims. 0.o

please behold the masterpiece of my vision. its entitled "Fire On The Water Concept In Wireframe Please Don't Judge I Drew This With A Mouse."

The sticks in the middle are Rafayel holding a knife in his right hand and a conjured flame in his left, with the setting sun (that's the inner round thing) as a halo behind him with flames distorting everything in concentric-ish circles. the horizontal squiggle is the ocean/horizon line.

I see your vision, it is crystal clear. I'm rendering it in my mind as I'm writing this. If only we had 3d printers connected to our neurons.

Yeah some people have been making them in ts4 since last year, but I have to admit the results are...interesting at best lol
Not even inzoi has managed to properly portray them. I think that's possibly the biggest flex for infold. They've patented the hot man formula to the point where the others can't copy it successfully.

At one point when I started playing and was still only slipping into the lore black hole (which means I had lots of free time) I was looking up the game assets that can be found online, including the models for the characters. The problem is that they come without a properly rigged skeleton, so one would have to rig it themselves in blender or something similar, and I don't know enough to do that on my own. But 100% I wanted to play with my lads dolls and pose them however I wanted.

i changed my mind. the sun is actually in eclipse, a black nothingness.

i heard your words and only partially understand them, but rigging sounds very complex, i gotta agree. i guess if you had a properly rigged skeleton and the LaDS assets, you could potentially get in a lot of trouble so maybe its for the best.

It's basically putting "joints" in the figure so that for example if you raise the wrist, the elbow and shoulder also move accordingly. Without, you would stretch the skin of the wrist with the rest of the body where you left it.
I don't think the missing rig is a matter of infold trying to protect their assets, rather than the ways people use to extract said files to begin with, which can leave you with a sort of incomplete product.
It's possible that as time passes people will fix these models, especially if more get interested in 3d renders of the boys, but we'll see.
