An update (so's y'all don't think I've abandoned the thread):

I've been working on finishing Orion's face rig. That's some tedious work as it's 40 bones that each need 3 weight maps, a scale map and a smooth translation map. Along with that I had to recut a couple of his groups so that he's more compatible with certain features and some other content down the road. That wasn't the chore I thought it would be as most of the morphs and FBMs I've done so far still worked after the re-cut, they just required a little bit of cleaning up on the weight maps. And scaling zones. Those can be tricky and take a while.

I'm also working on his skin textures, along with hair and beard in zbrush. Along with working full time and other boring RL house maintenance stuff, so I don't get to spend as much time every day on him as I'd like to. But things are progressing and his rigging is almost fully complete, pretty much just doing fine-tuning/cleanup work now.
