>>37217914>they could easily commission new and far better looking modelshere's where Japanese culture comes in to stop it, because the original artist would lose face.
But you can also see how time and budget and communication plays into it. For example with kson, she just put the modeller and artist together into a discord conversation, and this way they could communicate better what parts the rigger would need separated, or what reference pictures they need, whereas with companies it is more typical that artist and rigger do not communicate. The artist just delivers the parts as originally specified and the rigger has to make do with that, all within the planned budget and time frame. On top of that the talent has no interaction with the artist, so you are also paying man-hours for another bridge person, and probably man-hours for a team that needs to review and approve stuff, etc. And then you couple that with Japanese business culture.
