Progress Report - April 14, 2025

Animation Progress

Hello, everyone!

So far, Batcat is chugging along exactly on schedule. I was able to get the apartment-exterior sequence done, including what I think may actually be the first walk cycle I've animated by hand, for better and for worse.

Usually, if I need a character to locomote, I do everyt...

Hello, everyone!

I have decided to put this week's Progress Report in the Misc Bin tier, because it is as much a showcase of some writing efforts as it is a Progress Report in the traditional sense.

The Batcat lewd scene has been fully blocked out and sent out for dubbing! The core scene clocks in at 3...

Hello, everyone!

I didn't quite manage to make my goal for this week, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. I was aspiring to get the whole of the studio scene finished by today, so I could send it out for dubbing. I did manage to get the sequence up to when the animation loops I had shown off last week come into play, thoug...

Hello, everyone!

Last week's Progress Report ended on a cliffhanger, as I set out to reinstall Windows, and the myriad uncertainties as to how that would go. I am supremely pleased to report that the Windows reinstall went flawlessly, and I am once again operating with the full wind behind me. I haven't had any performance...

Hello, everyone!

Last week, I noted how my goals for this week was to build the new Barbara model, and have her fully faceposed and in Source - with a stretch goal of getting her outfit made as well. I managed to complete that, and more.

In the end, I managed to get Barbara built and faceposed, with two different hairstyles, and her ...

Hello, everyone!

As I noted last week, as of 11:59PM yesterday, the Batcat storyboard has been officially locked down!

Innie and I managed to cut the storyboard from 11.5 minutes down to 7.5 minutes. We could have gone even more aggressive, but we had hit the point where any further cuts would start to compromise Inn...

Hello, everyone!

I apologize for this post being a day late (as they so often are). As Monday closed out, I was less than 10 shots away from finishing the Batcat storyboard, and so decided to delay a day to get it done so I have something complete to post.

Hello, everyone!

I apologize for being a little late with today's post. The spontaneous decision to release the Bluesky pinups today meant that I wanted to give it a day before making another Patreon post - I hate barraging peoples' inboxes with notifications.

I apologize for yet another delayed Progress Report. I was out of town for the weekend, helping set up, attending, and then helping break down some friends' baby-shower.

Hello, everyone!

Things are chugging along. I've gotten the first 12 minutes all jittered, with 3 minutes left to go. Gonna be a bit of a crapshoot as to how quickly those final 3 minutes will go, as half of them involve 4 characters (slows jitter down), but 2 of them are mostly just talking (speeds jitter up).

Howdy, everyone.

Progress is chugging along. All of the lip-sync is finally done, and I have moved onto the jitter phase. It's a subtle thing, but I think it personally adds a lot to the "completeness" of an animation. Take, for consideration, this Progress Report's poster.

Hello, everyone.

Pharmmetra's still not done. Apparently, I grossly underestimated just how long the lewd-sound lip-syncing will take. I thought it'd take 2 or 3 days. We're approaching, like, 3 weeks now.

The project is split into 3 files, which I'll call Alpha, Beta, and Gamma for clarity. I have fully finished all of the lewd lip-...
