I'm sorry.

I'm sorry progress has been so slow lately. I need to do better on this. I have been working on the animation and I have come up with a better method for simming muscles. I'm rendering a preview now and hopefully in another hour or so I'll have it to show to you. Thanks for your tremendous patience wit hme.

Sorry This Wasn't As Ready As I Had Hoped

I was hoping to have the full dress rehearsal of the muscle tech ready to show you today. But getting the skin shrink-wrapped over it is taking more time than I expected. Hopefully by this time tomorrow I can show it to you, because it's going to look pretty slick.

Also in here is a fully done hair test. I'm posing a paid creation tonig...

Hi. I'm back after a long absence.

I'm sorry I did this to you all. I really needed a break from the norm. I'm sure some of you are mad at me. I can understand that. But I am getting back into the swing now.

I was not sitting on my hands while I was away. My family supported me with enough food money to survive while I developed a software tool. It smooths out motion...

Important Announcement

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been so quiet lately. A ways back I made what I felt was a different and important decision. Let me back up...

While I was animating Miku, I made a couple of huge discoveries.. Techniques that would let me successfully shrink-wrap skin over highly detailed muscles (and veins). I know I've dabbled with shrink wr...

Miku's New Muscle-Tech Part 1 of...2?

This will make more sense after you see the other part(s)

More AI...Just for fun

Hello, I updated my Patreon catalog (first post in my feed).

Now... Just for some more fun...  I messed with "Leonardo AI" for the first time...  Unless I am a moron and don't know how to use it, it appears to me Leonardo AI is not so good at creating imagery of really beefy ladies based on text prompts.  It appears to be ce...

Any more?

I've sent out a whole bunch of emails.  If there are any one else who wants me to send them Nadia or anything else from the catalog, please send me a private message and we'll sort it out.  Thank you!

Zzzz

Hey everyone I've been sending out lots and lots of emails today.  But I need to get some shut-eye.  I know, I sometimes keep odd hours.  Please keep those messages coming in if you get your Patreon receipt email and you want me to send you something.  I'll get back into gear after I've had some rest.  Thank you!

Bonus AI Pecs!

Hi there...  Just for fun, here is a bonus collection of AI-generated pectoral-focused images from NovelAI.net.  Their AI model is trained on anime style art, which I am not a big fan of... but the bodies look pretty good.  Free bonus to all who have paid in the past.  Enjoy! :)

Paid Creation Incoming

Hello everyone!  I've been communicating with a lot of you via direct messages.  But just to let everyone know I will be posting a "Paid Creation" very soon now.  Also note I will probably not post the next one until three months later..  The end of May.

#062-064 "Nadia and the Serum" Trailer

Here is the preview trailer (video attached) for #062, #063 and #064 "Nadia and the Serum"

Enjoy!

Nadia For All the Nice People

I'm trying to make sure I got to everyone..  If you haven't gotten Nadia's new animation and were wanting it, please send me a private message and we'll get it sorted out.  Thank you!

Nadia Going Out

As I write this, some of you have Nadia's new anim, some of you do not.  Sorry for the added delay, I wanted to make a higher resolution intro to match the resolution of the animation.  Feel free to message me if you think you should be getting her and haven't gotten her yet.  Please be patient with me as I get to everyone's messa...

Real Soon Now!

Hi everyone.  Nadia has finished rendering.  I've also been adding sound effects.  I thought I was finished, but as I was putting everything together I realized there is one missing layer... Foot-falls.  Really only vital at the end.  But it shouldn't take long.

While I was making sound effects (which turned out re...

Happy New Year

Hi everybody.  I hope everyone is having a good holiday season.  I got a nice belt for Christmas.

Nadia's background render session is just over 60% complete as I type this.

Attached is another look at Miku's animation-in-progress.  As you can see this is the first time I've got a 2nd character in there, although it is...

Progress Stuff

Hi everyone.  I hope you are all having a good holiday season.

Nadia:

Nadia's foreground element, the main render pass is all done.  I mentioned earlier I would make a fast-rendering background sphere map thing so I can get this to you quicker.  That is still happening, but the last chunk of t...

Miku MoCap Spliced Up

I've just finished splicing up / lining up all of the individual motion capture clips into one long animation.  All 10,583 frames of one.  That comes out to roughly 5.5 minutes.

For some reason that I cannot comprehend, one segment is missing...  You can see it towards the end there.  Very strange.  Well I am not g...

Paid Creation Post Soon

I will be posting a "Paid Creation" post late today.  If you don't want to get charged you can remove your pledge, and then re-pledge after the 1st to once again get update posts.

By the way Nadia's main render pass will be done in roughly 50 hours. :)

Thanks so much!!

Preview of Miku's MoCap

This is a work-in-progress of me stitching together the various mocap clips and retiming everything to fit the dialogue.  I guess this could be considered minor spoilers so skip this if you are concerned about that. :)  Everyone enjoy your Halloween if you celebrate that.

MoCap Recorded

Yesterday I recorded the motion capture for Miku.  It was broken up into some 19 segements so I could match the dialog closely..  I am now stitching up these segments.

When I logged into Patreon today, it thanked me for verifying my identity..  Strange because the process was nothing but errors...  But if it works, it w...

Successful Test

What you see are two shapes that sort of undulate and then press into each-other, while colliding... Not passing through each-other.

So what does this mean?  It means I can animate shapes that will collide with each-other..  So for example a group of muscles can writhe and flex, but still interact with each-other with real(ish) p...

Miku Audio Recorded and Edited... And Other Things.

Hi everyone.  I have Miku's audio recorded and edited.  I am theoretically ready to record motion capture now, but I do want to see if I can shave it down  bit.  It is currently 6 minutes and 17 seconds long, which is right about the same length as the last animation...  Resting between what would normally be considered ...

Slow recovery!

I just got word from our voice actor.  She said it was a slow recovery from her cold, and her voice is just now getting back to normal.  She is out of town for a couple of days so hopefully I'll get Miku's recording by mid-week!
