November Previews 2

Hey guys, back with some previews of whats to come. There are a lot of new members among you this month, which is very exciting! I would like to think that this is due to the addition of facial blendshapes to my characters (discussed here), or perhaps the mods are finally reaching an acceptable level of quality? In any case, I am very grateful and thankful for your collective interest and support. I will do my best!

Alright, getting on with things, here is what's on the menu for today:

1. Standing Model Poses 09 Preview
2. November Exclusive Poses Preview (sort of)
3. Urban Heat Preview
4. Irina Preview
5. Removal of AI albums

I hope that you will enjoy perusing through the pictures that I have prepared for you!

Standing Model Poses 09 Preview

I let the runner-up in the poll decide the theme of this pose pack. I think that at some point, I stated that it would be an emotive pack, but that was because I was under the false impression that emotive poses got second place, oops! It was actually model poses, my bad...

This latest standing model pose pack will be a mixture of cutesy, casual poses and your typical grandiose model poses. The pose count is currently at 12, and it will be out on the 25th as usual. Here are some references that I have been using for this pack:

 
Exclusive 35 Preview (sort of)

More of a notice than a preview really, this month's exclusive pose pack will feature some extra CNC couples poses. My darker side isn't quite done with that theme and I'm feeling compelled to do a few more. Concept and drafting are done but for obvious reasons I could not bring the pictures.

Urban Heat Preview

If you are really into legs like I am, then you will love this. If you are into girls of a more rebellious nature, you will also love this. I just recently released a pair of studded hot pants with belt. This design has been particularly popular online, and I really liked the look too:

Here is how they look in game:

I made two versions, one meant for darker shades, and the other geared towards vibrance. The hot pants feature lots of detail to help your renders pop, such as a hand modelled belt with overlapping details and the use of multiple different materials to make the studs stand out. The lessons learned during the long hours I spent making my charm-step heels really paid off here when it comes to the belt!

The Urban Heat hot pants are petite, yet rebellious, a perfect combination! It is out now for Enthusiasts and Fashionistas and will be public on Dec 21st.

As for what I am working on next, I am thinking of coming out with an alternate design to the Urban heat for Fashionistas and am also starting work on a set of trendy chokers.

Irina Preview 

Last, but not least, we have our girl for December, Irina. To me, Irina looks innocent, kind, and sweet. Something different to round out a great 2024!

When establishing the broad strokes for Irina's face in blender, I looked up and applied (in essence) a whole host of common Korean plastic surgeries and the result was a more youthful look than what I am typically into. I guess it makes sense when you think about it.. 16-26 is a woman's biological prime, and that is what beauty standards are based upon. Regardless of my reservations, Irina just looked too endearing to abandon. I hope you will give her a chance to star in your renders!

Irina's outfit has not been determined at the time or writing, but I think she looked really cute in Taeyon's nymph cosplay 💖More photos will be added as Irina approaches her debut. Her appearance is subject to change.

Irina will be accompanied by an expanded set of Blendshapes to enable a wider range of expressions.

AI Albums Removal

Oh, I almost forgot, but this is just a notice that I will be removing my AI albums from my list of offerings at the end of the month. It is not a field that I have kept up with due to unresolved legal and technical limitations of the technology, and I get the feeling that literally no one cares anyways. I know your all here for the poses, characters, and mods, so I am cleaning out the clutter. If your curious, you can still grab them before month end.

Alright friends, that concludes this preview. For those who are returning after being away a while, I have recently updated the FAQ and put out a notice regarding the new tier that you may have missed.

I hope you are happy with what you've seen and feeling optimistic about the incremental improvements that I have been making to my offerings of late! Thank you for your continued visitation and patronage! See you on the 25th for the new poses.
